AnimalZone's adventure at Marin Humane in Novato, Marin County, was nothing short of a heartwarming journey through the paws and tails of some remarkable creatures. Airing on Cox television's national network at the pawfect morning slot of 8:30 AM on Saturday, March 23, this episode whisked viewers away into a world of wagging tails and fuzzy cuddles.
From its humble beginnings in 1907, when Ethel H. Tompkins and her band of animal-loving pioneers first formed the Marin County Humane Society to advocate for the well-being of lumber-hauling horses, to its present-day incarnation as Marin Humane, this organization has been a beacon of hope for animals in need. With over a century of dedication under its belt, Marin Humane has expanded its mission to include rescuing not only dogs and cats but also rabbits, guinea pigs, and even some exotic critters.
Meet Lisa Bloch, the Director of Marketing and Communications at Marin Humane, along with her adorable rescue sidekick, Bowie. With ears that could rival Bambi's and a heart as big as the Bay, Bowie is the epitome of rescue love. And speaking of love, Marin Humane doesn't just stop at rescuing animals; they go above and beyond with programs like Pet Safety Net, ensuring that every furry friend has access to veterinary care and essentials, regardless of their human's financial situation.
But it's not all serious business at Marin Humane—far from it! Animal enrichment is taken to a whole new level with activities designed to keep shelter dogs' tails wagging while they wait for their forever homes. From sniffing out treats hidden in boxes to mastering the art of the snuffle mat, these pups are living happy lives while they put their "best paws forward" for potential adopters.
