Hi Fosters and Volunteers,

Hope you all are doing well! This has been a pretty exciting and busy week around here. Today we were featured in a live chat by the Chronicle of Philanthropy about microvolunteering and welcomed new volunteers from Toolworks, a group that helps adults with disabilities get job skills. Sam and Trisha went did a tour de shelter today and sprung some dogs and cats and Erica planned the arrival of some puppies! Our humane education program has been kickstarted- we’ll be teaching 5 classes next week, and it’s not too late to bring Hopalong to a school near you- bring the message of kindness to the kids in time for the holidays!

In adoption news, Dallas the Dog found his forever home and kittens continue to find new scratching posts (read: couches).

Coming up, we still have many spaces open for Santa Paws so check out the dates and times and let me know when you’d like to join us! We also invite you to join the Cat Care Team at Woodlands in Marin- there will be an orientation this Friday in Mill Valley. If you’re in Marin or have friends in Marin, please let them know about this cuddling opportunity!
And of course you’ve already marked your calendar for December 5th at 5:30, but that’s our Very Fun Volunteer and Foster Appreciation Party. I’ve set up a place to RSVP, and if you can take a minute to do that between now and then, it will help me know how many dinners to tell Juliet to cook. (Just checking if you’re still reading.)


Thank you, everyone, for all of your work!
