While driving South on Highway 99 today I noticed the Delta Humane Society on the East side of the freeway so thought to go in and check it out. I meet much of the staff and was told how the new education center was once a leaking building with sloped floors and moldy ceilings. That building was eventually condemned after part of the ceiling feel in. Thanks to the gracious donations from many, a beautiful education center and office was built. Quite an upgrade!
They adoption center contains a large wing for all the cute kittens and adult cats that are waiting for homes. They are very lovable! As soon as you walk in you seemed to be pulled in every direction as each feline wants your love and attention. Let me say it was very difficult not to take one home today. Walking past Holly’s Garden we were escorted to the dog wing where all the dogs meet us with overwhelming excitement. There is a lot of love in this building that needs attention!
Saturday June 5th, the Doggie Dash is taking place at Victory Park and starts at 9am. The event will include a 1 mile fun pledge walk & Doggie Contests at the Pet Fashion Show in the following categories: Look-a-Like, Best Tail Wagger, Best Kisser and Best Barker. Come out and support the Delta Humane Society.
The Holly’s Garden and Dog Socialization Area is now open. After several years of hard work and tons of effort the garden and dog socialization project in memory of former Assistant Manager Holly Duncan is now complete.
In addition to being able to adopt a new member of your family you can also volunteer in many different capacities. The Delta Humane society also holds many events and fundraisers throughout the year.

Bring your dogs and let them strut their stuff at the Miracle Mile Pet Parade Saturday May 22nd. In conjunction with the Stockton Animal Shelter Friends, the pet parade will sure be fun.
I have always found it fun to spend a little time people watching while in cities like Las Vegas or San Francisco. I don’t know what I like about it, I guess it can sometimes be assuming and interesting. I think this pet parade may be similar in that regard. Watching the cute little and big dogs of all shapes and sizes should bring a smile to your face. Some will have sunglasses, head gear and maybe even and iphone costume.
Proceeds of this event will benefit the apodtion, education and spay/neuter programs through the Stockton Animal Shelter Friends (SASF).
