Caring for Our Community
The Canine Connection, LLC is more than just a business. Our core values include extending our work beyond the walls of our center, outward to the community we love. We are dedicated to helping communities, people, and dogs in need. Together, we can make our community - our world - a better place for dogs and the people who love them and care for them.
“Sarah is a total hero to the animals in our community.
When the Oroville dam crisis happened, and the Northwest SPCA animal shelter had to be evacuated… she took 16 of the more challenging dogs in at The Canine Connection, organized a troop of her paid staff and volunteers to walk and care for them, and found homes or fostered herself almost all the dogs so they did not have to return to the shelter. For 5 years, she has organized Walk Woof Wag (helping Chico youth Bryce Velasco realize his dream of creating an event to help Chico Animal Shelter), a huge undertaking, to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the shelter’s medical fund. She has created an army of helpers since the Camp Fire to care for and help foster and home the displaced animals. I could go on….”
