We are thrilled to announce that California Adopt-a-Pet Day is coming up on June 1st! More than 150 shelters statewide are waiving adoption fees. Thanks to @SFSPCA & @ASPCA for their amazing support! #CAAdoptAPetDay https://t.co/gsbPgJVrA0

If a shelter has to euthanize for space, it means they have no space. If they have to manage backwards from a 72 hour posting requirement, they will have to euthanize more animals. #ab595 #bowieslaw #noab595 #savelives https://t.co/SFeKpC62Oz

@billessayli Wow! We have a meeting scheduled with you tomorrow - literally - and met with your staffer months ago to explain why this won't work. Please don't advance legislation that will increase shelter euthanasia. We can't take the heartbreak.

AB 1881 aims to make people think twice before adopting their next pet and punish our hardworking shelters and rescues with fines if they fail to put up a poster. Check out the long list of opponents in the 8/15 analysis and urge your rep to vote NO! https://t.co/m2Pz46yvpn

Our thoughts are with you once again Butte County Animal Services. Hoping for rapid containment and safety for all people and animals.

#Dixiefire [update]. Fire is 1200 acres, burning to the north away from populated areas. Large resource orders are happening.

Shelter pets are the official pet of California and we are thrilled to see one headed to the White House! Congratulations to "Major" Biden. Adopted dogs are the BEST! https://t.co/WmPHOTNwnF

@JerryBrownGov We urge you VETO AB 2362 (Rubio). It's poorly written, confusing, and unenforeable. California's dogs and cats deserve more than a feel-good caption. They deserve a law that will provide them with real protection.

Tomorrow's the day! #ClearTheShelters Visit https://t.co/hQrEYBDLnJ for participating shelters in your community!

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight - Great piece re #astroturfing. Except there is no such thing as THE Humane Society. All humane societies are individually incorp'd/governed. $ to @humanesociety doesn't go to your local shelter. Lots of public confusion that hurts local shelters.

[California Animal Welfare Association @CalAnimals]

CA's animal shelters are bursting at the seams. This is a community problem that requires a community solution. #Adopt #foster, donate money/supplies, #volunteer, #spayandneuter your pets, #microchip, make sure your pet has an ID tag/collar.
