Making Lemonade...

Maggie, Charlotte, Natalie and Athena came into the Santa Cruz SPCA clutching a jar of coins and a thick envelope. "Tell them what you did" said Ms. Stoops, mother to Maggie. On their own initiative on a boiling hot Santa Cruz Sunday, the four young girls set up a stand with their very own homemade lemonade and made over $50 in sales. Not only did these young entrepreneurs make a handsome sum of money for a hard day's work, but they did it all for the benefit of Santa Cruz SPCA. Three of the girls have dogs of their own, and two of those were adopted from the Santa Cruz SPCA. Maggie spoke fondly of her own dog, Bella (originally "Hoover"), who was adopted from the SPCA a couple of years ago, and was the inspiration for the lemonade stand.



Thanks goes out to the girls for all the hard work they did!

Barks for Life

Barks for Life, held by the American Cancer Society on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the San Lorenzo Park, turned out to be a great event in support a great cause. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day for it, and seeing our adoptables frolic and have fun in the park with all their new friends was absolutely wonderful!

Dog Blog: Meet Stanley

Handsome Stanley! Adorable and affectionate, Stanley would follow you anywhere! He is a 7-year-old spaniel poodle mix. He has had a couple of scraps with our alpha males, but is just fine with the rest of our free-range population. He is pretty smart and picks up obedience training very quickly.

Stanley is available for adoption at the Santa Cruz SPCA (2685 Chanticleer Ave, Santa Cruz)immediately. He adores attention and would be a lovely addition to your family.
