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 […]

Squirrel Season In Progress
It’s squirrel nesting season (yes, in autumn!). If a baby squirrel is found on the ground, it should be observed from afar (as long as the baby is not in direct danger) to make sure that the mother picks it up. If, after three hours, there are no signs of a mother coming, the baby […]
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 […]
