In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

The latest from Sherri Franklin, Founder/CEO Muttville Senior Dog Rescue:

Happy birthday, Muttville family! We’re commemorating our first 15 years with as many highlights and milestones, including surpassing 10,000 dogs rescued!

One achievement we can’t quantify is the wider effect we’ve had. As a result of our success, senior dogs around the country are being made available for adoption, often for the first time. “Thanks to Muttville, people are coming in and asking to see senior dogs specifically—and that never happened before” says Ariana Luchsinger, Operaitons Manager, S.F. Animal Care and Control.

I am not exaggerating when I say that together we are changing the world. Thank you, and congratulations for playing a big role in this success. Please come visit us!

 
Maya (RIP) at the Sacramento River, Redding.
