Our main service is to care for the homeless and orphaned animals who find themselves in our shelter (mostly due to irresponsible pet owners). We ensure their safety and will keep a cat or dog as long as we can until we are able to find him or her a forever home. During their wait, our staff and dedicated volunteers give each animal daily exercise and play, food and shelter, ensure that each animal is spayed or neutered prior to being adopted, ensure each animal has veterinary care, vaccinations and health care supplies- and most of all- ensure that they feel loved.

We also provide community outreach and Humane Education:

We are very active in the Humane Education of children and adults in our community. We distribute 750 copies of an education newsletter, have newspaper articles in three local papers, and info booths at county events. We travel to schools, libraries, adult organizations, etc teaching people of all ages responsible pet care and respect for life. Tours of our shelter, along with classes in Humane Education, can be arranged by calling the Humane Society at 209-984-5489. There is NO CHARGE to the public for these classes.

Low Income Assistance:

We have our Low-Income Spay/Neuter Voucher Program, and are part of the S.N.A.P. Program which is specifically spaying and neutering for felines.

During a local emergency, we assist Animal Control by taking care of some of the animals brought in to them until the emergency passes. There is a volunteer team in place to act quickly to care for, feed, shelter, provide bedding and emotional support during crisis.

We also provide free cat and dog food to low income pet owners who are in need (if we have it). For this service, one must come to our shelter in Jamestown and fill out a short form, and will then recieve any food that we are able to give. We can also provide emergency veterinarian assistance to low-income residents of Tuolumne County on a case-by-case basis.
