Things may seem a little different around the office on Friday, June 24; it's Take Your Dog To Work Day!

Summer is here! Start the season off right with a party this Sunday, June 26 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Cavallo Point Lodge to benefit the Marin Humane Society.

Do your summer plans include traveling to the beautiful island of Kauai? If so, you might consider volunteering for Kauai Humane Society's Shelter Pet Transfer Program. Then, when your island vacation winds down, and the thought of heading back to the mainland starts to give you the blues, you can look forward to your flight back home knowing you'll be saving a shelter dog's life.

Historically known as the quintessential California beach vacation, Santa Cruz County is the latest place to set your paws in the sand. Enter the "Let's Cruz" Vacation Getaway for a chance to win a two-night stay at the recently renovated AAA four-diamond Chaminade Resort & Spa located on a spectacular 300-acre Santa Cruz mountaintop.
