GOVERNMENT TRINITY ANIMAL SHELTER AUXILIARY (TASA) MEETING at Trinity County Animal Shelter (563 Mountain View, 623-1370) at 6:30pm on third Tuesday each month. TASA is dedicated to sheltering animals in a humane environment and educating the public concerning responsible treatment and care of animals. Public is welcome. They hold 3-4 fundraisers per year and welcome DONATIONS. Mail donations to Trinity Animal Shelter, PO Box 2471 -OR- 1241 (call to confirm!), Weaverville, CA 96093. Save a life! PETFINDER.COM
has over 260,000 homeless pets: mixed breeds
and purebred pets of all ages (with photos) waiting to
be adopted from over 11,000 shelters and rescue groups
across the country. There are larger animals also
available: horses, goats, sheep, pigs, etc. Please
choose to adopt, rather than buy! When people
decide to obtain a pet anywhere other than a shelter,
it means that one shelter animal is denied a home and
faces euthanasia. Please remember to spay and neuter! PLEASE
CHOOSE TO SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET! The number
of animals looking for homes in shelters (they are the
lucky ones), plus the number that are abandoned,
starving, or eaten by predators, is heartbreakingly
high! Area shelters are often full and can no longer
take in unwanted animals. If you think you can't
afford to spay or neuter, remember that it will cost
more to feed all those new mouths, as well as any vet
bills. If you can't afford to spay or neuter, call
Trinity County Animal Shelter at 623-1370 or Haven
Humane in Redding to ask about programs to help pay
for spaying/neutering, even for feral animals. SELLING, DONATING or
BUYING USED ITEMS: REDDING AREA CRAIG'S LIST is a good place to
list or look for items for sale, wanted, barter, or free. No registration
