Hermione Named after a Harry Potter...

Hermione

Named after a Harry Potter character, 14-week-old Hermione has

been well cared for by her foster mother, whose caring efforts

reflect the efforts of many of the volunteers with the Community

Animal Network, said DiAnna Pfaff-Martin, founder of the network.

But more volunteers like her are needed, Pfaff-Martin said.

“Calls for help supersede our donated dollars, and we always need

local people to house rescue animals,” Pfaff-Martin said. “School

begins in September and many of our helpers’ families will focus on

school and soccer and leave their summer community service with us.”

The organization, whose motto is “Together, We C.A.N. Make a

Difference,” is looking for people to donate money to help rescue

animals, as well as volunteers to drive the would-be pets to

veterinarian offices when needed, Pfaff-Martin said.

See other animals available for adoption at www.animal-network.org

or stop by Russo’s pet store at Fashion Island between noon and 4

p.m. on weekends.
