Meadow Vista -

This cheerful pup showed up at our Station 84 this morning. He is currently being cared for by our crew and he seems quite content. We have attempted to contact the phone number on his collar, but haven’t been able to get in contact with his owner. We need your help finding out where “Charlie” lives. Please call our office at (530) 878-0405 if you can provide any assistance. n tce
