Sadly this is very, very true. Paw Parent hasn’t gotten any dry dog food donations since December and we used to get whole pallets regularly every 3-4 months. Not anymore, now I have to buy it and as you know good quality dog food has gotten super expensive. If you want to help us with food for our dogs and cats you can go to our wishlist on Chewy. Thank you! 🙏

Animal welfare groups say overcrowding and rising costs are creating challenges for rescues and sanctuaries across Southern California.

Recent large-scale animal seizures in Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties have involved hundreds of dogs, cats and farm animals removed from facilities where officials reported neglect and unsanitary conditions. In one recent case, more than 400 cats and dozens of dogs were removed from a San Diego County sanctuary.

Advocates say increasing veterinary costs, reduced donations, and rising pet surrenders are putting added pressure on shelters and rescue organizations already struggling to care for large numbers of animals.

Remember our 6 black tiny kittens? They have done a lot of growing and in a few weeks will be ready to get spayed and neutered. In the meantime they enjoy each others company with not a care in the world. Their mom unfortunately needs lots of TLC. She’s extremely shy and does not like to be touched. I try to work with her, time permitting. There are just not enough hours in a day and my energy is not what it used to be. 😟

Two more kittens out of the litter of four we had got adopted in the last few days. 😻
Little Maya went to a home that she now shares with her new parents and a big brother called Sushi. She made herself at home right away and is watching squirrels on the patio with Sushi and takes naps on her parents labs.
Opal her sister is now living in San Diego with a new mom that is a cat person through and through and has now 5 older siblings. 😻
Their brother Radleigh is still available. Please look him up on our website if you’re interested in adopting a kitten. www.pawparent.org

Yesterday on Mother’s Day we got lucky at the adoption event at Petsmart! 😀
We were afraid that it wouldn’t be busy, but got pleasantly surprised with two adoptions. 🤩
Our cute kitten Huxley charmed his way into the heart of his new mom. ❤️
And Taco, our Cattle dog mix from Mexico whom we had for over a year, finally was found by his new parents, who happen to be of Mexican descent and immediately fell in love with his endearing personality! ❤️
We couldn’t be happier for both of them. Please look at our adoptable dogs and cats on our website www.pawparent.org if you have room for a furry addition in your heart and home.

Hooray, we got some great news! 😀
Daisy Dukes, who came to us 3 years ago with a son from a previous litter and two 4 months old puppies from another litter, finally found her perfect home. She’s now living in Oxnard near the beach and will get the full attention and love she deserves from her new excited mom.
Here are the latest updates:
“I got home and Daisy was a perfect girl. No accidents nothing touched! We are happy!”
“She is doing great, well behaved and adjusting well!”🤩🥳❤️
Her two young puppies had gotten adopted rather quickly after they arrived in 2023, but her son Teddy Bear still needs to find his perfect match. You can look him up on our website www.pawparent.org and click on “Our Animals “.
He’s so sweet and would love to call a home his own! 🥰

This last week brought a lot of new faces to Paw Parent.
We welcomed a litter of 4 kittens and Milo, a rescue only Chihuahua from the Lancaster shelter. He was rescue only due to his behavior of being very fearful towards new people he meets. But he warmed up quickly once he arrived and started to feel safe. He is extremely thin, actually emaciated, poor thing only weighs 5 pounds. We’re working on getting some meat on his bones. He’s very affectionate and loves to be held once he trusts.
The kittens are a rowdy bunch and have parties in my bathroom all the time. 😺They were found in a garage and born to a feral mother whom we are trying to trap and get fixed. The kittens will get fixed next week and will be available for adoption once fully recovered.

Our Lola found her forever home! 🤩
She now cozies up with her new mom and follows her like a shadow, keeping her entertained with her chatter.
Another match made in heaven! 😻
