"Dedicated To Placing Unwanted Dogs In Loving Homes"
VOTE FOR US EVERYDAY
We recently started a new adventure. We found ourselves surfing the net and wondering what facebook was all about. With the advice of some of our friends, we decided to start a "Facebook page". What a miraculous way to keep in touch with all of you. Our page allows people to become a "Fan" of Sutter Buttes Canine Rescue (link) and to be updated on our events, needs and accomplishments. To date, because of the facebook page, we have gained many new fans who did not know about our organization. We also have received dog food donations,Thrift Shop donations and bedding as well as lots of fun ideas from our fans. We strive to post daily on facebook. We talk about upcoming events, local news, adoptions, what's happening at the Shelter. We appreciate your support and look forward to a long relationship with you. We appreciate your comments, opinions, questions, etc.. Feel free to let us know what you think. Please check out the "discussion page " (link) on facebook, where you can start a discussion with us or others about problems, or things that work for you with your dogs or that might work for our Shelter dogs. Please continue your generous support by donating dog food, gently used items for the Thrift Shop and consider making a donation. We are able to give you a tax deductible donation receipt. Monetary donations always welcome of any size, one dollar to one million. We love facebook because of the fact that we only update this website once per month and facebook daily. Again, you are the best and dog smooches for you all.
ADOPTATHON SEPTEMBER 11TH, PETSMART
Saturday, September 11th, Petsmart.
The adoption site is being held at Petsmart in Yuba City. There will be lots of furry friends available for adoption.
Are you looking for a companion, a loyal friend to the end? These wonderful dogs are ready to find their forever homes.
They are spayed and neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested negative.
Even if you don't adopt, stop by and visit and find out about the many volunteer
opportunities
available. For more information, call 530-695-3814.
Effective April 30th, a new postage stamp will be available honoring Shelters around the world. With this stamp, the U.S. Postal Service hopes to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter pets. Euthanizing animals due to the lack of compassion throughout the world is becoming an Issue. Hopefully these stamps will encourage people to consider adopting a shelter pet or contributing to their ongoing care, not relying on euthanization, (a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering). Most of these unecessary deaths are due to lack of people adopting shelter pets, not to relieve intractable suffering. Please click on the link below for more information about these wonderful stamps, click on the link below.

THRIFT SHOP VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We need volunteers to help with sorting and merchandising. Do you enjoy putting things on shelves and making them look nice? Do you like to put clothing outfits together? Do you like to sort things and go through treasure chests? Do you enjoy customer service? If you said yes to any of these, consider becoming a volunteer at our Thrift Shop.
This is a fun place to be with very enthusiastic volunteers who enjoy the many avenues of a Thrift Shop.
All proceeds directly benefit the dogs at Sutter Buttes Canine Rescue. We need your help. If you can spare a few hours a week, please come by our Thrift Shop at 855 Gray Avenue and fill out an application. Just a couple of hours can make a difference in the life of a homeless pet.

"THE DEADLY CAR RIDE"
What dog doesn't like to take a car ride? Ears flappin, tongue droolin, every dogs dream right? Wrong.. In the Summertime that same car ride can lead to DEATH. It's a beautiful day, 75-80 degrees farenheit, lets go for a ride. The ride is okay, windows are down, everyone is having a great time, even Fido. Mom has to stop for the restroom. So, we stop. Roll up the windows, lock the doors, tell Fido we will be right back. We head into the restroom, We take care of business, brush our hair, wash our hands and go around front to buy a cold soda. It has now been 10 mins or more. We exit the store, reach the car, unlock it, only to find Fido laying in the back seat, overheated and near death. What happens next? It is a strong possibility that Fido needs emergency medical care and may die. A typical 70-75degree day, can reach well over 120 degrees in less than 5-10 mins in a locked car, even if the window is cracked. NEVER, NEVER....NEVER...LEAVE YOUR DOG LOCKED IN A CAR!!!! Doing so may result in death for your dog and arrest and conviction for cruelty to animals. Your not doing Fido any favors by letting him ride to the store in the Summer.See this link for more info http://www.ehow.com/how_4920118_save-dogs-death-hot-car.html

- Make a thorough check of your home and yard
- Start searching the neighborhood.

- Place ads in your local papers.
- Place ads on the internet.
- Contact all your local rescues

If you don't already have yourpet microchipped, considering doing so. It is an inexpensive way to place a permanent chip in the neck of your pet that can be scanned for identification. Also get a collar with a name tag for your pet. They are very inexpensive to have engraved with the pets name, address and phone number. Check your yard for holes in the fence at least every two weeks. Get down low and see if your pet has a potential area he can escape from.

DUMP PASSES WANTED!
The Thrift Shop operation includes "dumping fees". Unfortunately, we receive donations which are not in good enough shape to sell at the Thrift Shop. Therefore, we are frequently taking these items to the Yuba Sutter Recology (dump). If you have any "Free Dump Passes" that you don't use, we would be happy to have them. For more information, please call 530-755-2025. When donating to the Thrift Shop please only bring items which are new or very gently used. No rust, tears, odors, (cigarette smoke), broken, missing parts, old computer monitors, old Tv's, printers with no software, broken furniture, ripped furniture, stained clothing, very worn shoes, molded items (books specifically). We appreciate each and every donation, but we simply cannot afford to operate with the increasing cost of dumping fees. We need your donations and welcome them, just be aware of items we cannot sell, as listed above. Thank You again for all of your support for the animals.
