Recently, adoptions have slowed for many shelters and rescues, causing the HPHS to reach back out to the Lassen County Animal Shelter in hopes that a change in scenery would help Abby get adopted. Despite how wonderful Abby is, they have not had interest in her. Which is disheartening, especially when they praise her so highly. According to the HPHS, during Abby’s stay with them she played well with a variety of dogs, was respectful of cats that did not run from her, and did great with human visitors. She loves to play rough and tumble with other dogs, fetch, and play in water.

It’s time for this lady to find her place in a loving and caring home. Abby is about 2 years old, spayed, and fully vaccinated. If interested in meeting Abby, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call staff at (530) 257-9200.

This year there will also be several Wednesday evening markets. The market will feature fresh produce, meats, local crafts, delicious food, and more. The organizers of the market are planning to bring even more vendors and excitement to this year’s market so be sure to add the farmer’s market to your Saturday and see what they have to offer. For more information or to become a vendor, contact farmersmarket@larpcooperative.com.
