You helped Hankie the Christmas Pooch

Hank was just eight weeks old when he joined Jessica's family - and this "mama's boy" has been adored ever since. 

"Hank is our beloved family member," Jessica told us. Since they had adopted him just before Christmas, he soon became known as "Hankie the Christmas Pooch."

Bert is home after a successful procedure made possible in part by RedRover. I cannot thank you enough for not only the financial assistance that helped afford Bert's operation, but also for all the work and effort the staff, volunteers, and supporters of RedRover do.

When wildlife appears at your front door

By Laurel Meleski, Program Coordinator II

One of my favorite things about living in the Sacramento area is being so close to the river. There are some beautiful trails to walk, and you can see birds, deer, and squirrels year-round. Even so, my 4th of July weekend was notably full of wildlife this year. In addition to the wildlife I usually see, I got to see a family of river otters on the South Mokelumne River, plus two coyote and four beaver on the American River. Then I saw, up close and personal, eight baby opossum on my doorstep.
