Yes, There Is a Need in Calaveras County. Habitat for Humanity Update from by Myron Kelso |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 11/21/2013 06:32 PM
|
San Andreas, CA....The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (Feb 2013) identified8.3% of the children living in Calaveras County are living in crowded households. A crowded household is identified as more than one person per room of the house (counting all rooms except the bathroom). Would you be willing to share one bedroom with 3, 4, 5 or more persons? A 2012 Point In Time (PIT) Count showed that Amador and Calaveras Counties had a combined homeless population of 379 with an estimated 24 homeless veterans in that mix. And, according to the Calaveras Works & Human Services Agency, even with a ‘best effort’ the PIT Count does not collect data on many of the homeless in the County and therefore the numbers are likely much higher. In May 2011, the Calaveras Board of Supervisors was briefed on the Point In Time Homeless Survey. Those numbers showed 15 one parent families and 12 two parent families living homeless our area. 37% of the homeless had an income source; it just was not enough to feed and house a family...

Make it A Happy Holiday Season For A Furry Friend |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 11/20/2013 03:16 PM
|
San Andreas, CA....Chance: Looking for someone with a big gentle heart who would like to give Chance a better life than the scary one he's had so far. He's a frightened, approximately one year old brown & white Boxer mix boy who was likely abused and is now looking for his own special person to love and trust. He's a little hand shy and in need of some confidence building. He weighs 55-56 pounds, received shots when he arrived at the shelter, but will need a rabies shot, is already neutered (so he can go home with you TODAY). He will chase the ball and then doesn't know what comes next. He wants to play with the other dogs as well as his handler and gives great kisses. Kindness will be repaid with a lifetime of devotion. Petey: Petey is a young shetland sheep dog/Parsons terrier mix, or so we think. He was a stray, so we do not know much about his past but, he is a doll, weighs 12 pounds, is around 6 months old and loves EVERYONE! Since he is so young he will most likely need to be potty trained and definitely leash trained but, he is working on both. Petey did well on all of the temperament testing, especially the important food test, which he passed with flying colors. He has already been neutered, so can go home with you today...
