Animal Spotlight
Who’s a smart, loving dog? Astrid! By Esther Horn
Astrid, in Nordic, means “divinely beautiful” - that definitely rings true for this sweet, adoptable
gal. Astrid came to the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter through “A Rescue Mission”
(ARM) Program. This program focuses on saving dogs like Astrid from overcrowded shelters in
Los Angeles County and providing them with much-needed veterinary care, training and TLC.
Astrid is a smart, confident dog with a loving disposition. Quick to learn and very food & treat
motivated (who isn’t?!), Astrid loves her training sessions and is an absolute superstar at K9
Nosework. Nosework is an excellent training activity that allows Astrid to use her nose to
detect specific scents and determine the source. She loves the sport of K9 Nosework and the
enrichment it provides her mind, body and soul.
Astrid has good leash manners and enjoys walks, outdoor exercise and long games of playing
fetch. In her perfect home, she prefers to be the only pet and have an owner who is home at least
part of the day. Astrid would love hiking and walking alongside you for your morning exercise
and keep you company the rest of the day.
Astrid has received the loving care of our shelter staff, volunteers and dog trainer for the past
year and is ready for her new forever home!
If you are interested in adopting Astrid, please call the shelter to set up a time to meet
this gorgeous, deserving girl in person at 949.492.1617.

Gorgeous Grayce
Grayce came to our shelter earlier this year with her sister Carmel, who was
adopted in June. Sadly, Grayce’s longtime owner could no longer keep these two
longtime pets due to moving to a memory care facility. We promised him that
we’d find a great home for both of them - and keep them safe, happy
and spoiled with pets and loving care until we do. Don’t be fooled
by her age - Grayce loves to play! You can often find her hunting BREED:

Grayce loves to spend her day sitting at a window, watching the world
go by. But she’d love it even more if that window was in a forever home. Grayce
would do well in a home with other mild-mannered kitties - or maybe it’s time
for her to be the queen of the household. Queen Grayce!
Marvelous Murphy
Murphy, a 2-year-old, neutered male dwarf mix rabbit, came to the shelter early
during the pandemic shutdown and went into foster care right after being
quarantined and vaccinated for RHDV2. He thrived while in foster and turned out
to be an absolutely wonderful bunny! He’s a sweet young boy who thrives on
attention. He’s a social butterfly and likes to join humans for breakfast in

high school students from Trabuco Hills High School
in Mission Viejo, from helping out the dogs, cats and
bunnies at the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter
this year.
They formed a club at their high school called “Help-4-Paws” and
quickly got to work by recruiting over 40 students to help make cat
toys, dog treats and some yummy bunny nibbles. They also worked to

OUR MISSION
Lost and abandoned animals have a
second chance at a good life thanks to the
Pet Project Foundation (PPF) and the San
Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter.
The mission of the Pet Project Foundation
is ‘to enhance the quality of life for
all companion animals in a pro-
humane manner through compassion
responsibility, education, and service.’
This mission is successful with ongoing
support of the shelter from our community
and veterinarian professionals. This
special shelter provides food, housing,
exercise, training, medical care and love
for homeless animals until they are re-
united with their owners or with their new
forever homes.You can also read
