Patsy Cline is a striking 2.5-year-old Dalmatian/mix with beautiful markings. She came to CAPS pregnant, and now that her babies are grown, she is looking for her happy-ever-after home. She is a bit shy but warms up quickly. Patsy is sweet, loves attention, and belly rubs. Can you find room in your heart and home for this sweetheart?
We have 9 adorable Dalmatian/mix puppies who are 15 weeks old. Born at CAPS, the puppies and are currently looking for foster homes until adopted. Call 775-423-7500.

Dear reader, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is about family, cooking, and food. It is also a time to celebrate and be thankful. I am so grateful we no longer have political commercials and endless robo calls! I am sure everyone can agree with me on that.
On this holiday, I will sing the praises of the people who are kind and support our homeless animals. Churchill Animal Protection Society, our local no-kill shelter, has tirelessly advocated for abused and abandoned animals. The volunteers, staff, and board members are dedicated to our guests.
The 12 original members of CAPS (fondly remembered as the Dirty Dozen) had a vision that has flourished since 1986. During our recent financial crisis, Fallon City, Churchill County and our community came to the rescue with donations of food, funds, labor, and volunteering.
Without your generosity, our coffers would be empty. We wouldn’t have a water tank with clean water. Kennels would not have protection from the sun and our guests wouldn’t be walked. Generosity is a quality similar to honesty or patience. Freely giving time, money, food or kindness is generosity in action. To everyone who has generously supported CAPS, you are our heroes!
As the Christmas season approaches ever so quickly, you may be at a loss for a gift for someone who has everything. Perhaps you would consider sponsoring the adoption of one of the CAPS guests.
A recent popular trend is to give a gift in a person’s name that benefits a cause they support. Many people who would like to have an animal are unable to because of circumstances or policies beyond their control. Supporting a homeless animal’s adoption would not only benefit the recipient but also the animal. You can help make Christmas a joyous time for an animal looking for a home.
Thank you again for your continued support and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
