Through May 31
There is a major sale for lovable dogs needing forever homes at the San Jose Animal Care Center throughout May. Until May 31 all full grown dogs (not puppies) are only $20! Even better, any dog who has been at the shelter for more than two weeks is ABSOLUTELY FREE.
I adopted a dog at the shelter last December, and Simon is now a wonderful addition to our family. I can’t recommend the shelter enough. Dogs are spayed/neutered, have their shots, and are microchipped, all for the one very low price. You also get a certificate for a free first vet appointment. My dog Simon is wonderful with children and came home already housetrained and knowing all his commands. Shelter dogs are wonderful dogs and will love you forever.
The San Jose Animal Care Center is a full-service animal shelter serving the cities of San Jose, Milpitas, Cupertino, Los Gatos and Saratoga, located at 2750 Monterey Highway, San Jose.
There are currently four pages of dogs up on their website. Here are just a few who need homes today – for only $20!! Dogs are first come, first serve, so get down to the shelter today!

“The Bureau of Land Management protects, manages, and controls wild horses and burros under the authority of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 to ensure that healthy herds thrive on healthy rangelands. The BLM manages these living symbols of the Western spirit as part of its multiple-use mission under the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act .”
One of the BLM’s key responsibilities under the 1971 law is to determine the “appropriate management level” (AML) of wild horses and burros on the public rangelands. These animals have virtually no natural predators and their herd sizes can double about every four years. As a result, about 31,000 wild horses and burros roam BLM-managed lands in 10 Western states, a population that exceeds by about 3,500 the number that can exist in balance with other public rangeland resources and uses.
To help restore the balance, the BLM gathers some wild horses and burros and offers them for adoption or sale to those individuals and groups willing and able to provide humane, long-term care.
On May 3rd, 2014 you can see some of these wild horses up for adoption, and maybe even take one home from the Santa Clara County Horsemen’s Association. 20350 McKean Road, San Jose, Ca. 95120. The SCCHA Juniors will be holding a flea market sale on the same day, in case you need some new tack for that adopted horse!
If you can’t make it to the adoption at the SCCHA, you can see a list of adoption events here, or visit the Litchfield or Ridgecrest Corrals Monday through Friday during business hours. It’s a good idea to download and fill out your adoption application prior to arrival. You can also fill out the adoption form at the SCCHA adoption event.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adoptions are open from 8 am to 5 pm on the day of the adoption. For all adoptions, after the silent bidding has concluded, any remaining animals will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Let The Dogs Out
Oh dogs, all they really want is to get out and have fun. And they can, at the K9-Karnival while enjoying the contests and the demonstrations.
April 24 at the Kirk Community Center, 1601 Foxworthy Ave 95118.
Events will begin at 9:30 AM and conclude at 12:30 PM.
Admission is $5.00 for dogs and free for their human companions. I believe that food may be available (for both?), but I’m not sure if it is free.
Please call the Willow Glen Community Center, 448-6400, for more information.
