Your monthly news & updates!

After having to reschedule the opening of our Community Pet Resource Center due to the snow storm, we are excited to announce that it will be opening on Saturday, January 7, 2023!

Did you know that according to a study conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association, dogs are 2.5 times more likely and cats are a whopping 21.4 times more likely to be returned to their home from a shelter if they have a registered microchip? It’s a very simple and safe process that could save your pet’s life and ensure they are returned to you!

Thanks to grant funding by Community Foundation of the North State we are able to offer free microchips* to pet owners in need at our new Community Pet Resource Center in Yreka!

Come by 109 Broadway St, Yreka on Saturday, January 7 from 10am-3pm for our opening day!

Our new center includes many resources for community pet owners such as a pet food pantry, essential supplies, helpful information, and more!

Does your pet need to be microchipped?

Please bring them by and we’ll take care of it! Please make sure all dogs are safely on leash and that cats are in a carrier. If you need a leash or don’t have a carrier for transportation, please let us know so we can help!

*while supplies last!

January Pets of the Month

We want to thank everyone who came by the Adoption Center in December to bring us holiday gifts and donations!

Our staff received so many wonderful and tasty treats to enjoy during their busy workdays and each one was so appreciated!

Many generous gifts were placed under our Giving Tree in the Adoption Center lobby. We received bags of dog and cat food and treats, plush beds, soft blankets and fun toys! These items will brighten the days of our shelter pets and also be used in our community pet supply pantries to help support community pet owners in need!

We also had a lot of generous cash donations sent in, made online and dropped off!

Thank you for all of the amazing support this holiday season and always!
