Hi! My name is Gina and I love dogs (but that’s why everyone is here, right?) I’ve been employed by animal shelters for the past six years, and was the dog behaviorist at my last shelter for over five years. Much of my focus was helping “difficult” dogs to become adoptable and find loving homes! I currently own a chihuahua mix and a yorkie/beagle, but my family’s pit bull was the dog that first proved to me how amazing dogs are and why I’d like to work with them as my career.

Hello, my name is Shandra Post. I am new to the Chico area. My background is horticulture; specifically landscaping, gardening and nursery work, though the season is slowing down. My passion and hobbies are my pets. I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I have cared for everything from dogs to tarantulas. I volunteered at the Monterey County SPCA for 3 years before relocating to Butte County. I love nature, animals, and am not afraid of cleaning up after either.

I’m Emily! My family got a dog when I was little, and I've been hooked ever since. My experience at the animal hospital where I worked for 2 years (Vet Tech) made me more aware of how to properly care for dogs in everyday situations, but also how to be on the look out for signs of illness, fear, and aggression in our furry friends, and I was trained on how to properly respond in those situations. I love taking care animals of all kinds and look forward to meeting yours!

Dog Boarding in Paradise
Paradise - it's more than just a dream! In this small, California town, it's such a prevalent theme it's even in the name. Paradise, California is a quaint city about an hour and a half north of San Francisco full of modern comfort, outdoor fun, and most recently, plenty of accommodations for you and your pup. Paradise has increasingly become a dog-friendly city in the past few years, with much of the credit for this going to the shelters in the area.
One of the most popular shelters, Wag and Whiskers Pet Rescue, is a no-kill, 501(c)3 shelter that's been incorporated since August of 2015. This shelter services Willows, Chico, and Paradise California. They rescue animals that are at risk in other shelters for euthanasia and take in pups that have been surrendered by their owners. Overall, they're committed to helping the neediest pups while leaving space for those that are readily adoptable.
Another shelter that serves this area (though it's a bit of a distance away) is the Sacramento SPCA. This open-admission shelter accepts all surrendered animals despite age, health, breed, or behavior. They're committed to their no-kill pet policy and to helping animals of all kinds find responsible, fur-ever homes.
