The Placer SPCA is grateful to all of those who have provided a safe, nurturing and permanent loving home to the animals once in our care.  Here are just a couple of the happy tails we received about our Placer SPCA alumni.  You may submit a "Happy Tails" by contacting the Placer SPCA at (916) 782-SPCA (7722) or (530) 885-PETS (7387), sending us email, completing our online information request, or submitting our Happy Tails postcard.

“Duncan”

Duncan is doing excellent!  We will take the first of two Foundation Skills Assessment tests in late September.  Successful completion of both of these tests will certify us as “deployable” to assist in rescue efforts around the world – and we are getting there in record time.  Duncan is a “monster on the pile” – the best in our training group in negotiating wood, concrete, rebar and wood piles, some as high as 40 to 50 feet, to find buried “victims.”  He has no fear, just loyalty.  He is the only dog who, after finding the victim, digs his way to them through large and heavy debris, and remains with them until I can get there and verify his find.  This is a rare quality found in a few search dogs across the world. -- Tim Brun, Firefighter, Los Angeles Fire Department, Station 33 (and Duncan’s life partner)

Shortly after finding his way to our shelter as a stray in August 2006, Duncan was accepted into the Search Dog Foundation in Ojai, CA.

“Izzy”

I have always had older cats as family pets, but never had a kitten.  Now at 18, I feel sort of like a new mom who has a responsibility to raise Izzy.  I love her spunk and energy, especially when she flips through the air!  But most of all, I adore it when she sits on my lap and purrs. Thank you Placer SPCA for blessing me with my very first kitten. –  Jada Yee

Isabella – now Izzy – was adopted from the Placer SPCA in October 2006.

If you have a happy tail about a Placer SPCA alum you adopted, we would love to hear from you.  Please complete the attached postcard and mail it to the Placer SPCA (150 Corporation Yard Road, Roseville, CA 95678).  We encourage you sending us a photo as well of your happy pet.
