Adopt A Pet Today from the Lassen County Animal Shelter – Storm
Take a good look into those stunning amber eyes… Isn’t Storm gorgeous?

Things have been a little rough for this sweet girl lately but she has a positive attitude and is looking forward to the future.

Storm has a lot of love to offer, the energy to get her person off the couch and out of the house for a walk, and she even has a couple of commands down without a problem. 
She’s currently looking for her forever home and isn’t the picky type of lady; Storm gets along with other dogs, cats, and even children. Oh, and she wants to make sure potential adopters know that she absolutely LOVES car rides.

Storm is about a year and a half old, housebroken, and ready to meet her forever person(s). She has a vet appointment Monday, February 22nd. She will be spayed, heartworm tested and brought up to date on her vaccinations.

Call the Lassen County Animal Shelter with questions and inquiries about Storm or other adoptable animals at 257-9200.
Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis. According to California law, all adoptable dogs and cats must be spayed and neutered before leaving our facility. If interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly.

Current shelter hours during the COVID-19 pandemic are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 257-9200.

Washington School in the 1950’s – from the Eastman Archive at UC Davis
New Schools for Susanville
February 22, 1949

Detailed plans for the next two buildings in the elementary school construction program were inspected and approved at a meeting of the Susanville elementary school board Wednesday night.

The complete plans were presented Architect Robert E. Kaestner of Visalia.

Clyde Merton, assistant superintendent of elementary schools in charge of the building program, said it is hoped that advertising for bids will begin in about two weeks. The plans have been submitted to the state division of architecture for approval.

It is hoped that work will begin on the two buildings by April 1, Merton said.

Both new buildings as the new Lincoln unit will have radiant heating through the floor. They will be one story with sloping shed type roofs with large window spaces of modern design.

The superintendent of school’s office will probably be in the building on the Washington site.
