Senior Veterinary Assistance Program
Did you know? Low-income Calaveras senior citizens may apply for one-time assistance with a veterinary bill through our Senior Veterinary Assistance Program. May be used for preventive care, such as vaccines or a dental, or for a more acute/emergency situation. Made possible by a grant from The Calaveras Community Foundation. ❤️🐾

Cat Transport Volunteers Needed
Volunteer transport needed between Copperopolis and Jackson and/or Copperolis and Lockeford. Feral kittens and cats need to hitch a ride to the vet to get fixed.

Where Are The Dogs
Have you heard? There’s a dog shortage at shelters and rescues right now. We’ve been hearing it from everyone, and experiencing it firsthand here at our adoption center.

Have a spare wading pool?
Have a spare plastic wading pool in usable condition that you don’t want or need? We’d love to have it! One of our recent adoptees was SO enthusiastic about her water time that our last one got cracked, and local stores are out of stock for the season. (The culprit was Pearlie, pictured here, who […]
