Tehama - The Magazine

May 2017 , TEHAMA - THE MAGAZINE 25 to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine so that shelter animals could receive specialized care. Ending companion pet homelessness in Tehama County is a steadfast goal. P.E.T.S. realizes that to reach the objective, new innovative approaches must be undertaken. Therefore, they have developed and funded a variety of programs and events to pave the way for increased adoptions at TCACC. One is the "Senior for a Senior" program. An avenue designed to facilitate the adoption of difficult to place senior pets by senior residents on fixed income who are unable to afford the fees required for a companion animal. This valuable program discounts adoption fees to $20.00 for senior dogs, and $0.00 for senior cats. With the "Everyone Needs a Hero" program the spay/ neuter and rabies fees of any animal adopted by fire or law enforcement personnel working within Tehama County, including volunteer staff, is paid by P.E.T.S. Additionally, numerous P.E.T.S.-hosted events, such as "Home for the Holidays" and "Free Cat Fridays", when combined with the aforementioned programs, facilitated the adoption of 161 animals of the 576 adopted last year through TCACC. Everyone involved with P.E.T.S. feels strongly that pets are a lifetime commitment and are deserving of a safe and loving home. They feel that pets can help make us better people, and have the ability to strengthen the family unit. As an indirect result, they also believe, communities are improved and the world around becomes a healthier, more pleasant place to live. P.E.T.S. also understands that in order to transform unfortunate lives of animals, they must also address and find solutions to the causes of their admission to the shelter. Finding answers for a multitude of animal issues is never easy. Nevertheless, the organization firmly believes cumulative small steps in the right direction can eventually solve seemingly unsurmountable large problems.
