Wednesday woofable: chester and company

The holidays have come and gone and it's time to settle back into the routine of everyday life. If you are like me, you have a little bit of extra moolah burning a hole in your wallet, thank you aunt Connie for putting the gift receipt in the slipper sock box. I have decided I will invest that extra cash in a super cute pendant to remind me of my four-legged friend when I'm at the office and she's off hiking in the sun.

Bridge for all seasons

Cavallo Point For 75 years, the Golden Gate Bridge has been the symbol of San Francisco — and one that never grows less beautiful with the passing of time.

Copper’s dream

As a teen growing up in Cupertino, Jennifer Wang volunteered at a local shelter, only to be horrified at the number of cute, healthy animals who never made it out alive. As a student at Stanford, she founded the Stanford Animal Action Group, which raised funds for no-kill shelters in the area. After graduating from Harvard Law School, she wanted to do more, so she joined forces with her younger sister Samantha to found Copper's Dream Rescue, named after her beloved childhood pet, a cocker spaniel who delighted the family with his antics. Thanks to a team of fosters and volunteers, not to mention a lot of community support from local veterinarians, in just a few years Copper's Dream has been able to rescue over 500 dogs from high-kill shelters around California, and place them in loving homes through its adoption events around the Bay Area (the next one's August 25th in Berkeley). A recent rescue, currently being fostered in the East Bay, is cute shepherd mix puppy Hutch; see him and the other adoptables here. Photo: Hutch — Copper's Dream Read more.
