“Angie” was going to be relinquished to SPARC but it was clear she would not have done well in the kennel environment. SPARC staff quickly got on the phone and called everyone who had ever expressed interest in an adult golden retriever. By their efforts, later the same day a potential adopter came to bring her own golden for a meet and greet at the shelter. It was love at first sight all around and Angie got a new home and a new sibling…it rarely works out this well…but when it does…”Priceless”.

Thank you to SPARC for finding me this amazing family. They spoil a and care for me like no other it’s an amazing feeling.”

About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time.

YAY!!!!!
Oh wow, that’s a lot of adoptions! They’re doing so well. 🙂
Just copied this from SPARCs facebook page. It’s on one of the photos:
SPARC is excited to announce that in the last 2 weeks we have received 34 animals and been able to adopt or transfer out 46! Those are EXCELLENT numbers and will help keep our population at manageable levels as we head into the peak months of Spring. BUT…it means we have to keep adopting, fostering and sharing. Keep up the great work, Sparclers! You are seeing the “no kill equation” at work right here in Santa Paula for 21 months and counting!
These are exceptional statistics. There’s a lot of really good people working to get animals into forever homes. My hats off to all the great people helping to do this. 🙂
You can bark that again, Rumpy! 🙂
Bless each and every family!
Absolutely, bless them all. Maybe some day you’ll be meeting and transporting some of them. 😉
Indeed – you never know…
I’d certainly refer to you. 🙂
heartwarming pics 🙂
They sure are, Misaki. We just love them all. 🙂
This just made my day! I’m reflagging!
So happy you got to see them. It’s so nice to share good news and this is a win-win for everyone. Hugs. 🙂

I can’t tell who’s happier. Makes me smile from ear to ear.
I know what you mean. And, yeah, me too and the ear to ear. It’s all such a win-win! 🙂
I especially love when a bonded pair gets to stay together!
Yes, that was so sweet and heartwarming that they did go home together. 🙂
I could look at these wonderful pictures all day!
Me too. It’s such a wonderful feeling to see so many being adopted and knowing that this is being replicated by so many hard working good people all around the world dedicated to helping bring animals to forever homes. I just love it so much!
Oooh, I love posts like this one. All the pets are beautiful and so are the people. The photos are great advertising for pet adoptions. Nice work.
There’s so much joy going around with all the adoptions and happy families. A wonderful win-win. Very happy to share this. 🙂
Wonderful post with fantastic news. So happy for them all and their new families. Hugs
It is very happy news! Lot of smiling and wagging going on. 🙂
Home never feels right until everyone who is supposed to be there, gets there. 🙂 Happy home going!
I love that! There sure are a lot of happy faces and wagging tails in these homes. 🙂

Wonderful news for all those adopted animals and thanks to their new families, they all have a home of their own…..and we all know that there’s no place like home!

Did you ever see so many smiles?
Good question. It’s a win-win that keeps on giving. 🙂
I love happy endings!!!
Me too, and this one in particular when an animal lands in a forever home just thrills me to no end. Hugs! 🙂
I know. My SamCat the Ripper stayed in a shelter for several years – no one was captivated by his oddness. He was being kept for me, I know. Right after my precious Pugsley was put down for cancer, I agonized. I started looking around and there at a small shelter, was Sam. I went and asked about him and the people at the shelter asked, are you sure? He came out of his cage and when I picked him up, snuggled into my neck and purred – loudly. other people he either wouldn’t come out for or….he bit! Now his royal oddness, SamCat the Ripper is in his 3rd year with me. some matches are truly made in heaven.
Oh how I love how you found your Sam, and he found you. Wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to share that here. Give your beautiful boy a pat from me. 🙂
I just love these posts of yours P!!
I’ve noticed many of the dogs going to new homes are pit bulls – why is that? I’ve had a few pits in my life and they’ve all been wonderful animals – would not have gotten rid of them for all the money in the world!!
Agree with you about pits. They are grossly misunderstood and maltreated. One of the reasons that so many have landed in shelters around here if that owners don’t spay or neuter theirs and dump the puppies off in the streets or into shelters. Also, families can be skittish about adopting them because of the bad rap they’ve gotten. They’re a breed that is known historically as babysitters and are the most loving loyal pets when not mistreated. Hugs to you, G. xoxo
Paulette, these are the posts I love. All those smiling faces, all those grins, all the warmth and love that is so much on display. Thank you, you’re doing a very good thing. Take care, Bill
Aww, Bill, thanks! There’s a whole team of great people at SPARC making a big difference. I’m very thankful they were able to pull off opening the first and only no-kill shelter in the county where I live. Hope more follow. Hugs to you. 🙂
Nice photos.
Thanks, Toni. A lot of happy families is easy on the eyes. 🙂
Thanks for continuing to share such happy and lovely stories!
My pleasure, for sure. Anything to shine a light on getting our furry friends into forever homes and when it happens, when we get to see all the joy with the families – I just love it!
That’s a lot of happy faces! It’s wonderful to see so many going to new homes.
SPARCs been really amping up their efforts to increase rescues and adoptions. They’re a really great team and yes, all these happy faces is more than is needed for motivation. So glad you got to see this one, Clowie. 🙂
Oh my heart is melting!
Yisraela
Hi Yisraela, Yes all these happy families, big smiles and wagging tails, does have that impact on our hearts. I just love sharing these posts.
🙂
Wonderful news, Paulette!
Hello my lovely friend, Francina. It is a lot of wonderful news. Every life that is save makes me so happy. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂

I love that last photo!
Thank you, Kerry, for helping to shine a light on dog/cat adoptions. Great to have my cyber friends sharing in the love. Give your fur babies rubbies from moi. 🙂
Happy endings….I’m a sucker for them every time. I wish all could find forever homes and love. That’s my wish for today.
Your lovely wish will be felt far and wide and who knows, someone may be feeling it right now as they’re on their way to a shelter to adopt a pet. It’s all good, in the name of love. Big hug to you. 🙂
It’s so heartwarming to see a rescue. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who is being rescued! I think about this a lot. All of my companions have been rescued and I think that after Scrappy goes to doggy heaven, he’ll be my last. It all make me too sad to think about… 😦
Yes, it sure is a mutual rescue relationship and one of the best to be involved in. I hear you about Scrappy and understand all too well your sentiments. Praying he’s around for a lot more time. And, even then who knows what life will bring. Love to you, and Scrappy!
HI Paulette. Lot of happy people. Thank you for liking ‘Red Eyes!’ Best Wishes, The Foureyed Poet.

Hi Celeste! Yes, it’s wonderful to see all these new families connecting. Food for the heart and it’s my pleasure to share. So glad to have your elegant self stop by. 🙂
Thank you again, dear!
🙂
Great family stuff.
It sure is. Really great. 🙂
What a lovely post, thanks so much for sharing the smiles and love from these precious animals and adopted new owners! *Grinning from ear 2 ear♥*
Aww, that’s so great, the love keeps rippling all around. So happy to you got to see all the smiles and that it put one on your face. 🙂
