Find your lucky charm at the HSOTC!

Meet our adoptable pets!

We're happy to announce a new program at the HSOTC- Doggy Day Out!

Sometimes a dog just needs a day, an afternoon, or an hour away from the shelter to decompress and experience a change in sights and sounds. We know not everyone can foster long term or commit to adoption, but if you have a day off, we'd love to have you take a dog out for a field trip!

What is Dog Day Out? This is for volunteers to take a dog for a hike, to the park, a car ride for a pup-appuccino, or even some down time at your home. The goal is to give the dogs a break from animal shelter life and help them be seen by the public.

Who can participate in Dog Day Out? Any volunteer can join in on the fun. We'll match you with a dog that could use a day out and provide supplies. If you aren't a volunteer yet, signing up is easy and we can show you how. Just get in touch and we'll get you started!

When can you sign up for Dog Day Out? This program is open to volunteers during our regular business hours: Tuesdays-Saturdays 9:30am to 3:00pm

Where do I go to get started? Give us a call or come down to the shelter at 10040 Victoria Way, Jamestown, CA 95327 during business hours, and we'll be happy to help!

Shelter Spotlight- Munchkin

6 years old

Labrador Retriever/Husky Mix

75 pounds

This girl has been so eager to meet new friends! She enjoys her playtime, but also knows how to just hang out if you're having a backyard BBQ or relaxing after work. Munchkin loves her treats and takes them nicely. She has been excellent with all people- including kids of all ages, and would make a great family companion.

Munchkin is well housetrained and will let you know when she needs out to go potty. She has done well with dogs that are smaller than her, so if you have another dog friend at home, we recommend they be small to medium in size. Munchkin is an extremely loving girl and well-loved by all staff and volunteers. We'd love for you to come meet her!

Shelter Stories

'Tis the season - for kittens!

After a short break from last year's kitten season, Tracie and her babies have started us off for the 2024 year. Tracie was brought to Tuolumne County Animal Control as a stray and was never claimed. A few short days after arriving she gave birth to her small litter of kittens, and they've been thriving ever since! Tracie is an absolute sweetheart and a great mom to her babies. As happy as we are to help Tracie and her family, this is a great reminder to how quickly cats can multiply and overpopulate. Spay/neuter is the key to managing cat populations, and we urge the public to spay/neuter the animals they care for- if you need help with spay & neuter costs, please take advantage of our voucher programs.

This sweet family will be available for adoption soon!
