🐾 Lucky Found Her Lucky Home! 🐾

We love sharing happy endings, and this one is especially special.

Ruby, who has now been renamed Lucky by her adopters Robert Hoe and his wife, is settling beautifully into her new home. Before adoption, Lucky participated in our cat-testing program, which helps us learn how dogs may respond to living with cats and helps more animals find successful matches with families.

We're happy to report that Lucky has fit right in with Robert's cats and is doing wonderfully. Seeing a dog comfortably join a home with feline family members is exactly the kind of success we hope for when we invest time in evaluating and preparing our animals for adoption.

Stories like Lucky's remind us why this work matters. A dog who was once waiting for a family is now exactly where she belongs—safe, loved, and surrounded by both human and feline friends.

Congratulations to Robert and his wife, and congratulations to Lucky on finding her forever home. ❤️

⚡️ MEET THUNDER ⚡️

Thunder is Spot and Tate's brother, and while his siblings are busy being adorable, Thunder appears to be conducting important business.

At approximately 4 pounds, Thunder currently serves as:

🐾 Director of Backyard Investigations
🐾 Chief Inspector of Squeaky Toys
🐾 Vice President of Following You Into the Bathroom
🐾 Chairman of the Committee for More Treats

Thunder has mastered the expression that says:

"I have concerns."

Those concerns include:

• Why are there only two meals a day?
• Why is the squirrel still outside?
• Why are you sitting on the couch without petting me?
• Why has nobody explained taxes to me?

His mom weighs about 15 pounds fully grown, so Thunder is expected to stay in the conveniently portable size range while maintaining the confidence of a dog approximately the size of a horse.

DNA testing is underway, but our preliminary findings indicate that Thunder is:

🧬 50% Puppy
🧬 50% Tiny CEO
🧬 100% convinced he should be involved in every decision you make.

If you're looking for a best friend, a personal assistant, a life coach, and a professional cuddle consultant all wrapped into one ridiculously cute puppy, Thunder may be your guy.

❤️ Apply today before Thunder schedules interviews with other families.

🐾 Meet Spot 🐾

Spot would like everyone to know that he is innocent.

Innocent of what? Well, that depends on what happened.

Missing sock? Not Spot.
Squeaky toy mysteriously disassembled? Not Spot.
Tiny muddy paw prints across the floor? Spot has no recollection of these events.

This little black-and-white charmer is Tate's brother and appears to have mastered the art of looking completely adorable while quietly avoiding responsibility.

At just a few pounds, Spot is packed full of puppy essentials:
✔️ Oversized eyes
✔️ Tiny spotted toes
✔️ Professional cuddle skills
✔️ Unlimited zoomies
✔️ A PhD in stealing hearts

His mom weighs only about 15 pounds, so Spot is expected to stay on the smaller side, making him the perfect size for laps, couches, and following you into the bathroom for moral support.

Spot is looking for a family willing to overlook his complete lack of experience in paying rent, doing dishes, or contributing financially to the household.

In exchange, he promises laughter, companionship, endless affection, and a lifetime supply of puppy kisses.

Apply now before Spot's legal team advises him to stop answering questions.

❤️ Adopt Spot.

🖤 Meet Tate! 🖤

At just 4 pounds, Tate may be tiny, but he's carrying around a whole lot of mystery!

This handsome little black puppy is a mixed breed with a secret. His mom weighs just 15 pounds fully grown, and we've sent off a DNA test to discover exactly what makes Tate, well... Tate. Soon we'll know what breeds are hiding behind those soulful eyes and adorable ears!

What we already know is this:
✔️ He's ridiculously cute.
✔️ He's small enough to fit in your lap.
✔️ He's curious, sweet, and full of puppy charm.
✔️ He's looking for a family to grow up with.

Will Tate become a terrier? A Chihuahua mix? A miniature adventure dog? We don't know yet—but half the fun is finding out!

Come meet Tate and see if this little mystery puppy is the missing piece of your family. 🐾

Meet Lainey.

Lainey came to Eastern Madera County SPCA from one of the most challenging animal shelters imaginable. From the moment she arrived, I fell in love with her warm smile, gentle eyes, and wonderfully balanced temperament.

Over the year, Lainey has become much more than just my dog. She became a member of our team.

Every day, Lainey came to work alongside me, helping frightened, confused, and often traumatized shelter animals learn that the world could be safe again. She has greeted countless dogs with patience, kindness, and understanding. She never starts a fight, never escalates a conflict, and never seeks trouble. Her quiet confidence has helped nervous dogs become steadier around other animals and more comfortable around people.

In many ways, Lainey has been one of our most successful ambassadors for rehabilitation. She has shown adopters, volunteers, and staff that dogs can heal, trust again, and learn to live peacefully with others. Her loving nature has played a small but meaningful role in helping increase adoptions and giving countless animals a better chance at finding a forever home.

Recently, Lainey was attacked by a dog running at large. The dog reportedly left its property, traveled a considerable distance, jumped my fence, and attacked her in her own yard.

Today, Lainey is receiving medical care. Unfortunately, we still do not have many answers about why she is experiencing the pain and mobility issues she is facing. We are continuing to work with veterinarians and search for those answers while doing everything we can to keep her comfortable and help her heal.

For now, our beloved coworker is on medical leave.

The center feels a little quieter without her gentle presence. The dogs who have relied on her guidance don't understand where she is, and neither do we.

Please keep Lainey in your thoughts as she recovers. We are hopeful that before long she will once again be walking through our doors, ready to help the next frightened shelter dog discover that kindness still exists.

We love you, Lainey, and we can't wait to have you back on the job.

We weren't done setting adoption records for our center for May 2026! May has 31 days, so our manager wanted to add one more to the record and to her cat family😻

🐾 We are excited to share how far Eastern Madera County SPCA has come in helping homeless animals find loving homes!

Take a look at our May adoption numbers over the years:

🐶 2023: 10 adoptions

🐱 May 2024: 1 adoption

🐾 May 2025: 16 adoptions

❤️ May 2026: 24 adoptions

That's a remarkable increase and a testament to the hard work of our staff, volunteers, fosters, adopters, donors, and supporters who believe every animal deserves a second chance.

In just one year, our May adoptions increased by 50%—from 16 animals finding homes in May 2025 to 24 animals finding homes in May 2026!

Every adoption means one more animal sleeping safely in a loving home instead of waiting for one. Every adoption also opens space for us to help the next animal in need.

Thank you to everyone who has adopted, volunteered, donated, shared our posts, and supported our mission. This success belongs to our entire community.

Here's to even more happy tails, loving homes, and new beginnings! 🐕🐈

Happy travels, Milo!
