• Animal control officials recount long history with Windsor woman following her December arrest, seizure of 28 dogs (pressdemocrat.com) — Twenty-eight dogs seized from a Windsor home in an animal cruelty case are now being cared for at North Bay Animal Services’ Petaluma shelter, where they’re undergoing medical checks and evaluation. Officials say the situation highlights post-pandemic strain on local shelters and the challenges posed by informal rescue operations that can leave already crowded Petaluma facilities with even more animals to house.
