Each week, Memoirs of a Dog will share stories of different dogs that are going to be put to sleep in hopes of saving a dog’s life. For more information on Memoirs of a Dog, visit their Facebook Page. They currently focus on the Contra Costa Animal Shelter in Martinez and the Antioch Animal Services shelter in Antioch.
Hi, I’m Dolly
I have been at the shelter since March and was dropped off over the counter as a stray. I have remained happy go lucky all this time and even while I was sick I still continued to be very happy and loving. I know my day is going to come soon like my other doggy friends at the shelter and I will be chosen as the special dog to warm up a family home with love.. Are you my forever family? Come take a chance on Dolly you can meet her at ANTIOCH ANIMAL SERVICES. ID# A111314
Hi, I’m Ripley
Located in Martinez, I am a 10 year old, neutered pittie mix! I am a distinguished gentleman, charming and polite. I love affection certainly do not act like I am 10 years old. I have lots of love left to give. Find Ripley at CONTRA COSTA ANIMAL SERVICES. ID# A505943
Hi, I’m Catniss
Do you need a helper to reach the stuff on the top shelf? If you do, I could be the cat for you. I would be the perfect roommate because I pride myself on being quiet, sweet, helpful and very neat. Visit me at ANTIOCH ANIMAL SERVICES! ID# A111869

Dolly is available for adoption, she is a love bug. She is NOT in danger of being put to sleep!
No dog or cat featured on this page from Antioch Animal Services
is scheduled for anything except for adoption. Any questions, let me know.
Patricia, no one said Antioch Animal Services will euthanize dogs photographed on this page. There is an agreement in place (from my understanding) that this is a partnership between Memoirs of a Dog and Animal Services. Our goal is to promote the dogs for adoption through sharing their qualities, not scare tactics.
Just like Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman… Just dwpends on what your definition of “said” is… !!!
Thanks for making that clear, it is appreciated that available adoptable dogs will be seen by all your followers each week.
Thank you East County Today for featuring our community dogs and Memoirs of a Dog! I would like to just ease every ones mind on the dogs we feature on our page.
We are in the talks with Martinez Animal Shelter to give us the opportunity to market the dogs we have photographed.It breaks are heart when they are killed 2 days after a photo shoot as we do know the demeanor of the dog…It is a long, long road…but we will get there.
Antioch Animal Services has agreed to allow us to market the dogs we have featured without worry of being killed…but the reality is if these dogs are not adopted or fostered, they too will deteriorate in a shelter environment, then what?
Please visit your local shelters and help our community dogs and cats have a healthy loving life!
