Halloween Style
Just seven months old and weighing only five pounds and change, Chihuahua pup Link is spending Halloween in style, helping staffer Lorrie run the front counter of our adoption center.
Happy Halloween
We know you’ve got the holiday drill down — no chocolate for the pets, and watch for door-dashing doggos if you’re handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween from all of us here at the Calaveras Humane Society!
Check Your Fences
If you’re in one of the areas experiencing high wind right now, carefully check those fences before sending pets outdoors! Posts and even entire fence sections can blow over at night OR during the day, and you won’t know till your pet is gone. Walk your property and make sure things are secure prior to […]
Pet Food Bank Needs Your Help
Oh my dog, we had NO idea how quickly the recently donated dog food for our Pet Food Bank would disappear. We’ve had more than 75 new households sign up to receive a monthly pet food supplement since COVID began (in addition to all the ones already enrolled), and we only have a handful of […]
Kitten Pile

They cite the potential for them to be abused, tortured and even killed by mischief makers or those […]

Foster Homes Needed
If it’s the end of the week, then you know it’s time once again for Grubby Kittens In a Box at your Calaveras Humane Society. These five little longhairs arrived Friday afternoon covered in fleas and with goopy yucky eyes. They’ve been whisked off to a volunteer foster home where they’ll be gently bathed, flea-combed, […]
