Some of the so-called gentlemen of the ranch do not have manners. Dutch, have you heard of the “Ladies First” policy? Let Sally the Chicken take a drink of water. It’s super hot!

Please come out to the beautiful Livermore Valley this Saturday for a yard sale event benefiting Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary!
We have a variety of goodies - something for everybody! Come and treat yourself to a gift at rock-bottom prices - perhaps some cute and unique rabbit and other animal ceramics, stuffed animals or other knick-knacks. We also have books, household goodies, some furniture, and clothes.
All sales will benefit the animals at Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary.
Come check it out! Then have lunch in beautiful downtown Livermore or go wine tasting - many great wineries are just a few minutes drive away from our yard sale! Or take a hike at the gorgeous Del Valle park and lake (dogs allowed). Or take a drive through our beautiful countryside using the back roads….
Date & Time:
Saturday, 7/26/08
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Location:
512 Anna Maria Street
Livermore, CA 94550
Hope to see you all there!

Last Thursday, an unexpected guest arrived on the property: The Real-Life Scrappy-Do. He couldn’t find any paid work in Hollywood. So, next stop: Stockton!
All kidding aside, a short stray dog showed up at the ranch. He’s an unlikely mix of pit bull and basset hound. He was quickly pinned with the name of Dexter. We hope you enjoy our slideshow of Dexy. By the way, he is seeking a loving home. Are you interested in adopting this guy?

The temperature hit the triple digits this week in the Valley. Nobody at the ranch knows better how to stay cool in the heat than Georgie, our one and only Call Duck, and his five water fowl buddies. Watch Georgie in action and keep cool this weekend!

Please join Karen Courtemanche, Christine Morrissey, and friends for our next volunteer workday, held in conjunction with East Bay Animal Advocates
(http://www.eastbayanimaladvocates.org/) and Bay Area Vegetarians (http://bayareaveg.org). Every month, the second Saturday is designated as a volunteer day here and we are hoping for good turnouts. We would love to have animal lovers from throughout the Bay Area and San Joaquin valley join us!
Our next volunteer date is Saturday, February 9, 2008, from 10:00-2:00. Harvest Home was formed to aid homeless and abused domestic and farmed animals in the San Francisco Bay Area and the San Joaquin valley. We assist local humane societies and rescue groups with animals-primarily farmed animals-who, due to their breed, their health, or their personality, cannot be adopted into permanent homes. We also run a large sanctuary room for rabbits from House Rabbit Society, shelters, and other rabbit rescue groups throughout the bay area. To rsvp and find out more about this event, please email Karen@harvesthomeanimal.org, go to www.harvesthomeanimal.org or call 209-465-2985.
