trying to find housing that will allow their pets to stay with them. Many landlords and property management companies cringe at the idea of allowing a pet, but it doesn’t need to be that way!

There are plenty of us responsible pet owners out there! Sometimes even though people can find a rental that allows their pets, they have a hard time coming up with the funds for the pet deposit. The Placer SPCA has a new program for Placer County residents called, The SOS Fund.

“The SOS Fund was started in order to help with unanticipated one-time pet expenses, specifically to allow responsible pet owners to keep their pets in situations where there were unexpected emergencies,” said Placer CEO Leilani Vierra, “This can include funding for rental deposits, emergency veterinary care, or the fee for temporary boarding, as well as other necessary expenses related to pet care.”

To learn more about this program and all the other great services the Placer SPCA provides visit their website @

According to The Humane Society of the United States, the lack of pet-friendly housing is one of the top reasons people surrender their pets to shelters. (Taken from October 7th 2009 press release)

Another sad situation – when people loose their homes some of them just leave their pets behind. DON’T DO THIS! Your local SPCA is there to help you! Since this housing crisis has started I’ve rescued my cat Daisy, she was from a vacant house, was starving, declawed, and left to fend for herself. Last Christmas I also adopted a 13 year old dog named Blair, she had been surrendered to the Placer SPCA because her owners had to move from their house.

 Overall, Placer County has a reputation for good schools and many of the people I have helped to relocate  have decided on Placer County because of that.

Many parents want their kids to be in the Eureka School District, it has the reputation of being one of the best in the area.

 But, this years statewide testing shows that Rocklin Union School District (RUSD) has the highest API scores in Placer County! RUSD is 50 points higher than any other school district with high schools in Placer County. Rocklin scored 869! So if you’re considering relocating to the South Placer area, make sure to look in Rocklin you won’t be disappointed!!

Are you going to be working in the downtown Sacramento area? Live in South Placer County, have a small commute and a great quality of life!

Do you like the outdoors, lakes, rivers, hiking, horseback riding, cycling, rafting, kayaking and motorcycle riding to name a few? That’s another reason to move to Placer County! Did you know that Auburn is named The Endurance Capital of the World? Oh, did I mention that from Roseville you can be snow skiing in about 1 hour.

Worried about your kids getting into a good school district? Placer County has some of the best schools in the state.

How about shopping? The Roseville Galleria has completed their expansion and now features over 125 different services. The Fountains opened end of 2008 and features a really nice “downtown feel” with many great shops and eating establishments. If you like Whole Foods, we have the Mother Ship of Whole Foods also located in The Fountains.

Property values have adjusted in the current market to make it affordable to obtain home ownership for first time home buyers and a great area for move up buyers as well.

If you’re considering relocating to this area you owe it to yourself to come for a couple days and enjoy all the great things that Placer County has to offer!
