The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe has a new adoption van, and guess who's driving? Mabel the Thai rescue dog, who is still looking for a home.

Flip guest writer Alex Heyman discovers that an important reason to adopt a dog is not just to help an animal, but to help yourself.

Do your pets a favor - get them spayed or neutered. And stop by the humane society to check out a diva of a cat, Kitty.

Mabel was rescued from the Thai dog meat trade. She is a Basenji, a dog known for its yodeling howl. I may be a dog, but I am a smitten kitten.

Indy the dog hates dog sweaters and so does Toby, an Aussie shepherd mix, but he would love for you to adopt him.

Indy the Dog mourns the loss of his brother and Flip corresondant Tobias the Cat, who recently passed away.

It's not a coincidence that local shelters are overrun with Chihuahuas - the small dogs are no longer trendy.

Diego was in a shelter in Folsom before he was sent to the Placer County Animal Shelter in Tahoe Vista, but he's still looking for a jail break.

Kids and pets enjoyed the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe's first EdVenture Camp.

Don't torture your dog by trying to get him in the bath at home - take him to Pet Station or Scraps for a wash down.
