World Animal Day 2021

In 2021 we brought our celebration of animals to Nevada County, California! Wildlife rehabber Linda Adams and Grass Valley Nevada City Shelter Director Caralyn Figone were on site to take questions about local at-risk animals, Swazzle Puppet Studio brought "Kittens" and "Conrad the Condor" to entertain families. We raised funds in support of our projects to help the Grass Valley Nevada City Animal Shelter and wildlife rescue workers on the front lines of California wildfires.  Thanks to our generous sponsors Lola & Jack, Swazzle Puppet Studio, Cake Bakery, Sweet Pickins Vintage Outdoor Market and Downtown Grass Valley Association.
