Meet Artist Jaia Linden-Engel

As part of our More Pets and People Together campaign, we’re asking community members inside the shelter and out, “What does more pets and people together mean to you?” Artist Jaia Linden-Engel tells us more about her vision and why building bridges to keep pets and people together is important to her.

When the Heat Rises, Blythe ACO John Bush Has Your Back

Approximately 225 miles east of Los Angeles and 150 miles west of Phoenix, located inside of Riverside County and flanked by the Colorado River, you’ll find Blythe, California, a rural desert town named after the San Francisco financier who established water rights to the region. You’ll also find John Bush, sole animal control officer for Blythe’s animal shelter, collaborating with residents and visitors to craft solutions for challenges both anticipated and unexpected.
