The Facility that Love Built

 

If ever there was a facility built by the love of animals, the joint facility for Tri County Wildlife Care and A-PAL Humane Society at 80 Ridge Road, Suite B, is it. Floyd Greene plotted out the needs of both groups and Larry White of Jackson Rancheria Community Development with a terrific construction crew made what had been a dream into a reality.

Barbara J. Brown, who has been a supporter of A-PAL Humane Society for
years, committed to being a facility sponsor for 2016. All you need to do is
to speak with Barbara for a few minutes to see her immense love of animals.

Her support has allowed A-PAL to begin taking in special needs cats. In the summer kittens will begin arriving, but until then, these special cats are getting a second chance.

Dexter is an adorable tabby boy found wandering and sick. He had a chronic upper respiratory infection which is now clear, but which left scarring in his airway and a loud, rasping difficult breath. Dr. Alison Pillsbury of Acorn Hills Animal Center is working on clearing his airway so A-PAL can put him up for adoption.

KC is a sweet and tiny little grey tabby girl who had a couple of homes before ending up at our shelter. Shelter staff realized she had a problem with her kidneys and asked A-PAL to take her. Dr. Mitch Dial of Jackson Creek Veterinary Clinic diagnosed her with a rare hormone deficiency, Diabetes Insipidus. This girl will need medication to control her condition, but can live out a normal life and A-PAL expects to put her up for adoption soon.

Zelda was also turned in at our shelter after her owners found her with injuries believed to be from being hit by a car. They were unable to pay for her serious injuries. This sweet girl was taken in by A-PAL and Dr. Casey Gregory of Jackson Creek Veterinary Clinic went to work doing surgery to repair her broken jaw. He was thrilled to see that her swollen eye was still intact and given time and medication, should heal. Zelda will need 6 weeks to recover, but someone will be very lucky to have this beautiful and playful girl when A-PAL puts her up for adoption.

Wild critters will soon be arriving into another area of this same facility for Tri County Wildlife Care volunteers and staff. A baby bird nursery will be staffed from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. once babies start arriving about May 1st and can house as many as 80 birds that need to be fed every 30 minutes all day long.

Volunteers worked tirelessly to prepare for the care and housing of all of these critters. The walls are decorated with the animals and names of the kind sponsors. People wanting to visit are encouraged to call 209-223-0410 for A-PAL Humane Society or 209-283-3245 for Tri County Wildlife Care.

There just are not sufficient words to describe all of the work and generosity that went into this facility, awesome, amazing, or generous? Every stick of furniture, treatment tables, office furniture and washer and dryer were donated and put together by volunteers.

Sponsorships and volunteer opportunities are still available. For details, please visit www.pawspartners.org.
