Well,I retired after seven great years at Purrfect Pals Cat Adoption Centers on December 31, 2024. After two days off, I was hired as the new Community Engagement Director at Humane Society of Skagit Valley. Excited to work with the team, led by Janine Ceja.

Trying to stay optimistic

We have a new senior forever foster with Old Dog Haven, who covers the cost of his veterinary care. BartO, 13, is a Chihuahua mix. We did a DNA test: 46.1% Chihuahua, 14.2% Dachshund, 14.2% Pom,12.7% small Poodle and 8.2% Min. Schnauzer. 100% good boy who just needs most of his rotten teeth pulled.

Feel like we are watching a bad movie these days?
