750th Pet Adopted From Marin Humane Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

MARIN COUNTY, CA — Marin Humane recently celebrated a major milestone — its 750th adoption since the shelter-in-place order in March.

A dog named Rosie was the 750th animal to be adopted from the Novato-based animal shelter amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Kelly and Alex, who work at the Brayton Purcell law firm in Novato, took the pup home Friday.

"One of the bright spots of the pandemic has been the huge increase in those wanting to foster and/or adopt animals," Marin Humane spokeswoman Lisa Bloch said.

While the shelter is closed, Marin Humane has offered "matchmaking services" for people interested in adopting pets from foster homes during the pandemic.
