Get a Breath of Fresh Air on the Mendocino Coast
Mendocino County had a tough summer in the wildfire department, but there’s great news to be had. As innkeeper Jeff Stanford of Stanford Inn by the Sea reports, "The coast is not only clear, it is pristine. There are no crowds. Highway 1 is open and getting here is beautiful. Anderson Valley is untouched, the vineyards are ripening and harvest is underway.” Here are some ways to get your woof on during Mendocino County’s “secret” fall season.

Meet Mel. Her DNA test says she's Staffie, bulldog, and… soft coated wheaten terrier. Her friends at Mendocino Coast Humane Society say she's a real people dog, with such a great range of facial expressions they're always taking pictures of her. Mel gets along great with everyone she meets, human and canine, but does think chasing cats is fun. She's very eager to please her person and learn new things. She's big, happy, and still has a lot of puppy energy, so her perfect family will provide her with lots of exercise and fun activities, as well as continued training. She loves walks. She loves swimming. She loves fetch. more »
