Amador County - On April 30th, the U.S. post office launches a new stamp - Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet stamps. This campaign continues the Postal Service's 50+ year tradition of raising awareness of serious social issues with special commemorative stamps. The 44-cent stamps feature photos of five cats and five dogs who were all adopted from shelters. Ellen DeGeneres, a long-time advocate for helping animals, is the celebrity face for the campaign. Coinciding with the campaign is a one-day only Animal Shelter Open House where locals can “find love for less” by adopting cats and dogs for reduced adoption fees. The event includes at least 15 booths from local vendors, many with animal-related businesses, and a bbq with cooking done by the 49er Sports Grill. There will also be raffle prizes and information on volunteer opportunities. The Animal Shelter Open House takes place on Saturday, May 1st from 10 am to 2 pm at 12340 Airport Road in Jackson.
