The Scoop - October 2021

OCTOBER 2021

There's no disguising how much we love pets! This month is full of cultivating that feeling, starting with our adoption partnership with Subaru, through Tails at Twilight--happening right before Halloween. There are lots of doggie doings in particular, such as Wine & Wags and Ruby Hill Winery's new Cuvée Dray. Lest you find this issue hound heavy, however, we're introducing some of the feline free spirits roaming the halls of Kitty City. It's a carnival of cuteness you won't want to miss!

Subaru Loves Pets!

Adopting a pet makes a huge difference in the life of that animal, but for the month of October it will help other animals, too! For every adoption this month, Livermore Subaru will donate $100 to Valley Humane Society as part of the Subaru Loves Pets campaign. Visit us online to meet all the dogs and cats in need of a home and apply to adopt your furry favorite today! Be sure to celebrate #MakeADogsDay on October 22.

Free Spirits Inhabiting Kitty City

The spookiest season calls for a trick and a treat! The trick is picking which free spirit should haunt your home, and the treat is adding one of our independent feline friends to your family. The aptly named Boo is a 3-year-old female tuxedo who loves watching the birds, bats, or any winged being in the sky. Goggles is also 3 years old. Confident and aloof, she's happiest wandering at will. Tinsel is a 1-year-old male who is actually ready for the next holiday season. Like his shiny namesake, he boldly draws attention with playfulness and affection. If you feel so possessed, hop on your broomstick and sweep our Interwebs to see these magical creatures online before they disappear!

New Wine Benefits Animals

This summer Ruby Hill Winery released Cuvée Dray, a brand-new red blend. Already popular for its fruity profile, the blend was inspired by our furry companions, "that make everything better." It's named for managing member Eric Callahan's exuberant Boxer, Draymond (pictured), and for each bottle sold, $10 is donated to Valley Humane Society. Check it out for yourself and raise a glass in honor of the joy pets provide!

Surgery Center Update

Thanks to our fantastic, supportive community, pets are closer than ever to getting the care they need! Just $64,500 is left to raise toward building the Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Center, which will ensure pets aren't surrendered to get essential care, or worse--going without. Learn more to find out how you can help!

Wine & Wags on the Way

Get your wiggles out at Wine & Wags! Join us Saturday, October 30 at Page Mill Winery as Livermore Valley's dog friendly wineries open their doors to pet lovers and their canine friends. Dress your doggie (and yourself) in your best Halloween costume and enjoy the afternoon with a glass of wine and friends. See you there!

Dare to Beware

Just like ghosts and goblins, our Halloween Pet Tips materialize every year around this time. Take a peek and refresh yourself on safely celebrating with pets. Our pet care resources also include a link to a dog chocolate toxicity meter, in case the worst happens...but hopefully the scariest things will stay on the porch!
