Sweet Shannon is 16! 🎉🐾

This beloved Golden Retriever recently celebrated her sixteenth birthday at Seminary Oaks Park in Menlo Park surrounded by friends, fans, and plenty of love. Many may recognize Shannon from Yappy Hours at the Sheraton Palo Alto or from her years visiting classrooms as a humane education assistant, helping teach children how to safely meet, respect, and care for dogs. ❤️

Now enjoying a well-earned retirement, Shannon continues to spread joy everywhere she goes. Wishing her many more happy, healthy adventures — and another birthday celebration next year! 🦴✨

Special thanks to Rhea Sampson for all her support with our humane education programs over the years. 💛

Happy ! 🐝

Bees play a vital role in our ecosystems, food supply, and biodiversity — and they need our protection now more than ever. Plant pollinator-friendly flowers, avoid harmful pesticides, and support habitats that help bees thrive. Small actions can make a big difference. 🌼💛

☀️ Hot weather is here! A few simple reminders can help keep pets safe and comfortable during rising temperatures:

🐾 Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid hot pavement. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

💧 Keep fresh, cool water available at all times — indoors and outside.

🚗 Never leave pets in parked cars, even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise dangerously fast.

🌳 Make sure outdoor animals have access to shade and airflow throughout the day.

🐶 Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting.

🚨 Legislative Alert 🚨

Project HumaneKind is standing up for farm animal welfare as the 2026 Farm Bill moves through Congress. The proposed “Save Our Bacon” provision would override humane protections supported by millions of voters — including California’s Proposition 12.

We support the Luna-Costa-Garbarini Amendment ( #28) to remove this harmful provision and protect basic standards of humane treatment for farm animals.

📞 Call your U.S. Representative today: 202-225-3121
Ask them to support Amendments #22, #24, #28, and #39.

Together, our voices can help protect animals from extreme confinement. 🐷🐔💚

In honor of Be Kind to Animals Week 🐾💛

Project HumaneKind is highlighting the impact of compassion made possible through emergency veterinary funds supported by generous donors and dedicated volunteers.

This year, those funds helped provide urgent care for community animals in need—including sweet little Tippy 🐶💔➡️💛 a neglected senior dog who was suffering from tumors. Thanks to timely intervention and rescue support, Tippy is now safe, comfortable, and living in a loving home where his health is being carefully monitored. He is happy, loved, and finally receiving the care he deserves.

Thank you for helping kindness become action. 💕🐾

Happy World Donkey Day 🫏💛

From carrying books to children in rural Colombia through Biblioburro 📚 to the lifesaving care provided by The Donkey Sanctuary, donkeys quietly make a big impact around the world.

These hardworking, gentle animals deserve compassion, protection, and respect—today and every day.
