Jenni, an 11-year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever, needed help, and Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, Pacific Grove, CA, stepped up to provide it. She had been turned into the shelter presumably because her guardians could not take care of her medical issue -- a 10 pound mass on her chest. We will never know how her guardians may have struggled with the decision of surrendering her to the shelter. They probably assumed she would be put down. POMDR helped Jenni get the major surgery she needed. It was successfully performed by Drs. Fusco and Marsolais at Pet Specialists, Inc., in Monterey, at a great discount. (Thank you, Pet Specialists!!) Jenni is now recovering in a foster home and is available for adoption. She is just as sweet and grateful as you would imagine her to be, as you can tell from the photo of her meeting her foster mom for the first time. You can make a donation to help cover the cost of Jenni's surgery, or you can apply to adopt her. |

| San Mateo |
The Peninsula Humane Society (PHS/SPCA), San Mateo, CA, a private, non-profit guided by the humane ethic, builds healthy relationships between people and animals. As an ethical choice, we accept all animals in need of care and often provide a second chance to the neediest animals: those who would otherwise be turned away at so-called "no kill" agencies that accept only highly adoptable animals. We also serve as our County's provider of animal rescue and control services and, as such, have no control over the number of incoming animals. Our record is outstanding. Since 2003, we have placed into homes 100% of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. E-mail: pawmaster@PHS-SPCA.org Phone: 650.340.7022
