Not every dog loves the dog park, and that’s OK (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before I adopted my first dog, I used to walk by dog parks, delighting in all the different kinds of dogs at play. It looked fun for dog and human alike. So, after I adopted Digby, a McNab mix, I couldn’t wait to take him to one and be a part of all the fun. I brought Digby to my neighborhood dog park, ready to watch him make some doggie friends. We arrived, and several of the dogs ran up to greet and sniff him, but he only had eyes for me — or rather, the ball in my hand. In fact, he couldn’t c
Marin program provides a safety net for struggling pet parents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Working at Marin Humane, I witness a lot of heartwarming things: shelter animals going home with new families, worried pet parents reuniting with their lost companions and troops of Girl Scouts touring our campus with big smiles on their faces. Just as uplifting is seeing volunteers several times a week pull their cars up to a door at the shelter marked “Pet Safety Net.” They fill their cars with carefully packed bags of pet food and supplies and head out to distribute them to homes throughout t
Who will care for your pet if you are unable to? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A common yet tragic reason why animals end up in a shelter is that their guardian died or became incapacitated without a plan for rehoming their beloved pet.

Read excerpt
A few days ago, I was in a meeting with Nate Davidson, Marin Humane’s emergency management program manager, when he quietly directed me to look at his phone. It showed an alert for a fire close to my home in Mill Valley. Sure enough, a few minutes later I started receiving Nixle alerts regarding the fire, located in the Marin Headlands. I immediately thought of my two cats and contacted a neighbor to ask if he’d seen the Nixle. I decided he might not be the best person to potentially rescue my c
Bay Area Pignic a celebration of guinea pigs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marin Humane’s Novato campus plays host to several fun events every year, but I must confess, my favorite is the Bay Area Pignic. This adorable event for people of all ages celebrates an enchanting animal people don’t always expect to find at an animal shelter — guinea pigs. Guinea pigs — sometimes called cavies — make great pets, especially for kids. Less fragile than rabbits and less skittish than hamsters or gerbils, guinea pigs tenderly coo, like to be swaddled in baby blankets and are gener
