CAPS Animal Spotlight

This sweet and spirited one-year-old mix is full of energy and ready to leap into your life—literally. Known for her impressive jumping skills, Bambi loves being around people and thrives on attention. She’s looking for a home that can match her high energy and provide her with plenty of love and affection. While she is still in training and hasn't been tested with other animals or children, Bambi is eager to learn and bond with her forever family. Could that be you?

City of Fallon Animal Shelter

 

The City of Fallon Animal Shelter reported that in 2024, it took in 979 dogs and 500 cats.

“We want to say how incredibly grateful we are for all the rescue groups who have stepped up to help our shelter,” shelter staff said. “We want to thank the groups who pulled from our shelter.”

The shelter expressed appreciation for: SPCA of Northern Nevada, which pulled 133 animals, Fallon Animal Welfare Group (FAWG), which pulled 109 cats, Pet Network Humane Society, which pulled 41 animals, CAPS, which pulled 40 animals, and Res-Que, which pulled 13 dogs.

She is reportedly already spayed, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. For more information on Izzy, give us a call or visit the shelter.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
