Recently, officials closed down a local illegal puppy mill and rescued 147 dogs living in atrocious conditions. The public response has been amazing, and I just wanted to get the word out, in case anyone reading this would like to help in some way…. Most of the dog can’t be adopted as of now, but the Animal Shelter would definitely appreciate more donations of money, food, blankets, etc. To reach Second Chance Animal Rescue, call (831) 623-2337. You can reach Hollister Animal Control at (831) 636-4320. Mail checks to the City of Hollister, 375 Fifth Street, Hollister, CA, 95023. We got our dog Merlin from the Hollister Animal Shelter (years ago) when he was a puppy, and he’s part Queensland Heeler, one of the breeds they rescued.
