Thank You For The Pet Food!
We are overwhelmed, in the BEST possible way! We asked for dog food donations recently for our Pet Food Bank, and boy oh boy, did you guys come through. We received MORE THAN TWO TONS of dog food within two weeks, enough for us to keep the dogs of Calaveras households in need fed and […]

Angels Camp Office Volunteers Needed
Seeking office volunteers for our Angels Camp adoption center. Duties include answering phones and light clerical work (sending faxes, etc.) in a fun, team-oriented atmosphere. Some days are busy, some are slow — so there’s always the option to cuddle kitties on a slow day. We observe all appropriate COVID protocols, including masking. Safety first! […]

Be Smarter Than The Average Bear
Remember: Our local black bears do not truly hibernate. Instead, they go into a lighter state of sleep known as “torpor,” where they will periodically wake up — and even forage for food. It’s important that we keep our garbage secure from bears and other wildlife ALL year long, please. ❤🐾
Teamwork Saves The Day
A touching story of collaboration and teamwork to kick off the new year… In late December, our friends at Calaveras County Animal Services took in a three-year-old stray shepherd/hound mix from Mountain Ranch who’d been hit by a car. The medium-sized male dog had a shattered leg and double pelvic fractures and must have been […]
Too Cold For You? Then It’s Too Cold For Them.
BRRRRR! Overnight lows are well below freezing in some areas, so let’s bring those pets indoors, everyone. ❤️🐾
Help Us Help The Community
What a ride this topsy-turvy year has been! Your Calaveras Humane Society worked hard to remain open for our most critical services in spite of widespread COVID closures, because we knew our community was counting on us. We held two critical drive-thru pet food bank events in April and May, distributing more than 2,000 pounds […]
Santa Says Adopt Don’t Shop
The holiday shopping season is officially underway. Remember, Santa Claus won’t be making ANY stops at pet stores or picking up puppies from internet brokers. If a new pup is your heart’s desire this holiday season, please consider adopting from a shelter or rescue, or seek out a responsible and ethical breeder. (Don’t know where […]
