Animal Rescue Award

Sponsored by Alameda Power & Telecom

Trudy Holdener is a volunteer for the City of Alameda Animal Shelter and the Oakland SPCA and beloved columnist for animal adoption in the Alameda Journal.

Her column has been extremely successful in placing animals — cats, dogs, rabbits, and more — in forever families. Trudy has fostered more than fifty kittens back to health to make them adoptable. Through her patience and care, she has saved many furry, four-footed lives and created wonderful families through adoption.

Trudy was born with a great gift for understanding animals and people.
