Clair and the Thomasses

HOWELLS – Pets Alive, one of the largest and most successful strictly no-kill animal sanctuaries in the U.S., keeps growing.

Two of Pets Alive’s major benefactors are Grammy winning artist Rob Thomas and his wife, Marisol, who adopted a beloved dog Tyler some years ago.

Tyler passed on last year, but is not forgotten, said Pets Alive Executive Co-Director Kerry Clair.

“As a surprise to them, we dedicated this area and named it ‘Camp Tyler’.”

Camp Tyler is a new array of outdoor kennels, each with an ‘igloo’, a pool, and a misting system to keep the dogs cool in hot weather.
