Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

You don't have to live on the East Coast to adopt a pet displaced by Hurricane Sandy. Sixty dogs and cats facing euthanization at overcrowded shelters in New York and New Jersey were transported to a San Diego shelter yesterday, according to the Associated Press. The Helen Woodward Animal Center, a local no-kill shelter, took in the animals with the support of Southwest Airlines, SeaWorld and BP.

After the pets are spayed, neutered and vaccinated, they'll be ready for adoption soon. You can find out more about the animals on the shelter's website.
