A THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY
- Betty White Challenge
|
|
Actress and animal advocate Betty White would have been 100 yrs old on January 17, 2022. To mark the occasion and honor her memory, a social media campaign encouraged fans to donate $5.00 to the animal charity of their choice under the #bettywhitechallenge. The RC Animal Center received an outpouring of support, collecting over $8,000 in #bettywhitechallenge donations. Staff at the center were blown away and humbled by the generosity. The RC Animal Center would like to thank everyone who amplified and participated in the challenge. The funds collected will go towards programs that provide services and support to the animals of Rancho Cucamonga. |

A HAPPY TAIL:
Saint Bernard Cornelius was sadly returned to the Animal Center years after his original adoption. Finding a home for a large breed senior dog can be a challenge, but we are happy to report that Cornelius found his forever family in January! His adopter reports that he has fit right into family life!

ADOTABLE PET SPOTLIGHT:
Sky is looking for her special someone! This lovely lady came to us in rough shape. She was all skin and bones. Our medical team discovered that the source of Sky’s condition was a case of diabetes. After starting medication, Sky has blossomed into quite the beautiful girl! She is incredibly sweet and deserves a loving home where she can get her second chance! While adopting a dog with special needs may not be for everyone, we just know that there is someone incredible out there for this girl! Sky is available for meet and greets Wednesday-Saturday, beginning at 2:00 p.m. Please come meet her!

2022 HOMELESS POINT-IN-TIME COUNT POSTPONED |
|
In light of the recent surge of COVID-19 cases, the federal government has authorized the county to postpone the annual Point-In-Time Count (PITC) of unsheltered homeless individuals until February 24, 2022.
While ensuring the safety of volunteers and participants had been at the forefront of planning efforts well before the omicron surge, the county will implement heightened safety measures when the count takes place in February based on recommendations from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- All volunteers will be provided with a KN95 mask.
- All hygiene kits distributed during the unsheltered count will contain KN95 masks and hand sanitizer.
The Office of Homeless Services will continue to seek volunteers for the PITC on February 24, 2022. Volunteer registration can be found on https://wp.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp/ under announcements. Volunteers that have already registered will receive notification from the city in which they registered to participate and will be kept informed of any changes to training or participation.
The annual PITC is coordinated by the San Bernardino County Community Revitalization Office of Homeless Services (OHS) in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership and is designed to provide invaluable data on homeless individuals and families within the county on a given day and time.
