The Chino Valley Animal Shelter would like to extend our sincere thanks to Samantha and Rolling Hills Stables & Canine Resort for their generous sponsorship of the 2nd Annual Rowyn's Ripple.
Through their kindness, adoption fees for all dogs currently in our shelter are being covered, helping more pets find the loving homes they deserve. Their support honors Rowyn's legacy in a truly meaningful way and creates opportunities for countless shelter dogs and families.
We are honored to share Samantha's story below. Thank you, Samantha, for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to making a difference in the lives of shelter pets. ❤️🐾

For those who know me, you know what a difficult journey Rowyn’s loss has been. This June marks one year since her presence left our home, and not a day goes by that she isn’t missed.

In honor of her, we’re continuing what we hope becomes a lasting tradition with the 2nd Annual Rowyn’s Ripple – Empty the Shelter Event. ❤️

Every dog currently available for adoption through Chino Valley Animal Shelter will have their adoption fees fully covered through the month of June until they find their forever homes. In addition, every adopter will receive 3 free nights of boarding at Rolling Hills Stables & Canine Resort.

Rowyn gave us nearly 10 years of unconditional love, loyalty, and joy. We were some of the lucky ones. Now, we hope to create ripples in her honor by helping other families find that same kind of love.

Please help us make a ripple. Share this post, spread the word, and help these deserving pups find the homes they’ve been waiting for.

For Rowyn. For rescue. For the love that never stops rippling. Because the best way I can honor the dog who changed my life…is to help change the life of another. 🐾 🤍

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to our nation will never be forgotten. Because of their selflessness, we enjoy the freedoms we hold dear each day.

As we gather with family, friends and furry companions, we reflect with gratitude on the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

From all of us at the shelter, we wish you a meaningful and peaceful Memorial Day.

🐶🚴‍♂️ Apparently, it’s Bike to Work Day.

Dogs can’t actually ride bikes… but if they could, they’d absolutely be cruising to the office like this. 😎💼🐾

Trade traffic jams for tailwinds, get a little exercise, and start your day with a wag.

Less traffic. More tail wags. Everybody wins. 🚴‍♀️🌎🐕

If your dog could bike to work, what would their job be? 🐕👇
