Foster Fest gives pets a chance to find a loving place to stay
The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County recently received 84 cats and kittens and is hoping you'll help them find a place to live. On August 11, the shelter is inviting the public to Foster Fest. It's a carnival-themed event that allows people to meet animals looking for someone to foster them until they find their forever home. The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Humane Society. Guests will enjoy cotton candy, games, and the opportunity to learn how to become a foster caregiver to a dog, cat, or critter. 'Opening your home to a shelter pet, regardless of how temporary, makes a tremendous difference for our open-admission shelter,' said Lauren Green, director of marketing and communications at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. 'It ensures we have the resources and space available for the animals who need us the most.' Same-day fostering will be available. The shelter provides all necessary supplies and ongoing veterinary care, while fosters provide a safe, loving space until the pet is ready for adoption. Fostering helps ease overcrowding in the shelter and reduces stress for animals. It also gives them a better opportunity at adoption. According to a study published by the national animal welfare organization, Maddie's Fund, dogs who spend time in foster care are 14 times more likely to get adopted. Solve the daily Crossword

Beverly Grove residents express concerns over abandoned apartment buildings overtaken by squatters
Some Beverly Grove residents are expressing their concerns over a group of abandoned apartment buildings that have been overtaken by squatters. They say that their usually quiet street has been hit with a rash of fights, fires and people using drugs because of the nearly 20 people that took up house in the vacant buildings at the corner of Flores Street and W. Third Street. "It's horrible and it's very scary," said Lauren Green, who lives near the complex of apartments. "The buildings are not secure and there's not a solid fence to keep vagrants, homeless, unhoused, whatever you want to call anybody that is living without paying rent on a beautiful, beautiful street." Though the buildings are surrounded by a large fence, residents say that hasn't stopped anyone from gaining access. Green says that she has had to change the route she typically took when walking her dog because of the people living inside. "I've seen some horrible, horrible people doing horrible things and they have come after me," she claimed. She's one of many who say that the issues come at any time of the day, along with Margaret Ruskin. "It's become a real serious public safety issue, I mean they knock on windows when they are too, I am assuming, drugged up to know how to get back in," Ruskin said. Since the group of squatters moved in a few months ago, residents say they have counted at least seven fires stemming from the buildings. Beverly Grove city leaders say that the issue lies with the property owner. "We've made it clear that the owner must take full responsibility for addressing safety and nuisance issues on-site," said a statement shared by a spokesperson for Los Angeles City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky. "Our office has also flagged the matter with the Department of Building and Safety and Code Enforcement and LAPD." CBS News Los Angeles has reached out to the property manager but has not yet heard back.

Tacoma Humane Society reopens after plumbing emergency
The Brief The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County was forced to temporarily shut down due to a plumbing emergency on Saturday. The lobby flooded after a plumbing issue began on Friday, causing the entrance and adoption space to be shifted to the west side of the building. The flooding occurred at the same time that 14 dog kennels have been undergoing renovations, lowering the capacity of the shelter. What we know TACOMA, Wash. - The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County has reopened after a plumbing emergency that happened on Friday forced them to close temporarily. On Saturday morning, a plumbing issue that occurred the night before in the lobby area of the Tacoma Humane Society, caused the animal shelter to close for less than 24 hours. Community members, shelter staff and volunteers jumped into action to assist in the cleanup of the shelter, to allow it to be restored to regular operations as soon as possible. "This is a community effort. It's not just us, it's everybody who is part of our mission," said Lauren Green, director of marketing and communications at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County. "This does really cramp our operations for the foreseeable future." The plumbing emergency occurred at a time when the shelter has been tight on space due to recent renovations beginning on 14 dog kennels a few weeks ago. None of the animal care areas were impacted by the flooding. Lobby renovation planning has also just started recently, but Saturday's plumbing emergency has sped up the timeline, according to the shelter. The lobby is no longer flooded, and the shelter has reopened with its usual operating hours of 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The entrance to the building has been moved to the west side of the building, where the Pet Food & Supply Pantry has been transformed into an adoption space that had 30 adoptions occur on Saturday, despite the flooding. The community can support Tacoma Humane Society by fostering, adopting, donating and volunteering. The Source Information in this article is from the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.
