Calaveras County, CA ... The Calaveras Humane Society is promoting has several canine guests at the shelter that would love to have new homes.
Hercules, a 2-3 year old, white and tan male Bulldog/Pit could be just what you need. He was mellow on all physical testing, will chase a ball but really prefers to be with his person, especially if you give good tummy rubs! He pulls like a tank on the leash so could use some training. He is looking for a home where he could be an only child and someplace with no cats or livestock. Beware of big slobbery kisses. Hercules weighs 63 pounds, is Heartworm negative, up on all shots but rabies and will need to be neutered before he can take up permanent occupancy of your heart and home.
Please use Hercules’ intake # A036973 when making inquiries at the shelter.

Once discarded, they either enter our landfills or our marine ecosystem.

Trey Jarnagin Benefit May 31st at "The Hub" in Arnold's Cedar Center |

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/26/2014 10:40 PM

Arnold, CA ... Not long before this past Christmas, Trey Jarnagin and his family got the news that he is battling a very rare form of lymphoma that affects young children. Many of you may not know Trey personally, but chances are you know someone in his family. The Jarnagin's and some of the their family members have deep roots here (The Klines, the Fassbenders, and the Pyles). Although they have worked hard and will continue to do so, the astronomic costs of getting Trey weekly chemotherapy treatments at U.C. Davis Children's Hospital will be a huge financial burden.
