Shelter Says Goodbye to Abused Dogs

Workers at the Sacramento County Animal Shelter bid farewell to a pair of special animals last week.

Baby and Shadow, , were adopted last Thursday.  The dogs left after spending 15 months at the county facility where staff and volunteers helped rehabilitate them.
