Happy November, North Ranch!

It’s hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by. As we head into November, I want to take a moment to say how grateful I am to do what I love—sharing your stories and celebrating our local businesses.

Supporting local businesses is not just a slogan to me. They are an important part of our community and local economy. Our sponsors are also the reason we can bring Stroll North Ranch directly to your mailbox every month, so please remember to check our Sponsor Index when you’re looking for a product or service.

And please keep sending me your photos and stories! I love sharing the moments that make our community special. Email me at Cindy.Zerlin@n2o.com or follow and tag us @strollnorthranch on Facebook and Instagram.

I also want to share my gratitude for Healthcare for Homeless Animals and the Agoura Animal Care Center. Healthcare for Homeless Animals is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit that helps fund medical care for at Agoura Animal Care Center shelter animals, including exams, surgery, dental care, medications, and specialty treatment.

The Agoura Animal Care Center is nearly at capacity, and the need for adopters and fosters is great. When you adopt, you’re not only giving an animal a loving home—you’re also opening a kennel for another animal in need. Fostering also provides animals with a safe place to heal and thrive while they wait for their forever homes.

This November, I hope we can all find a way to give back, whether by supporting a local business, sharing a community story, or helping an animal in need.

Thank you, North Ranch, for making this such a wonderful community.

With Gratitude,

Cindy Valero Zerlin
