Snow what fun! ⛄️
Thank you to everyone who attended our annual Winter Pet Pawtraits fundraising event Saturday! It was our biggest and best ever.
Enjoy this behind-the-scenes sneak peek.

In a word, Colt is smol.
What is he? He's clearly a mix of All The Tiny Things with a dash of gremlin, of course. (Water bottle photo for ridiculous scale.)

If it’s summertime, you just know we’re bathing some grubby nuggets almost daily.
This newly-arrived floof and her siblings were picked up shortly after their spa treatments to head to a volunteer foster home.

“Three weeks ago today we adopted Wilmer and Teddy. They are still best friends! They run and play both inside and out. Teddy got a splash pool that they both enjoy.
“Attached are some pictures! We did their DNA, also attached. Certified mutts!" 🧡🐾

Volunteer Sally, a retired veterinary technician, is our official kitten pedicurist. We're all so tickled when the itty bitty babies are a little less lethal after one of Sally's visits. 🧡🐾

Remember, once the funds for our vouchers are gone, they're gone.

A pair of kittens is ALWAYS better than a single.
We believe so strongly that two kittens are better than one that we reduce the fee on the second behbeh when you take home a pair. We promise you won't regret it.

Mazie May SMILES. She stretches her entire face into an adorable scrunchy-face grin when she’s happy, which is virtually all the time. She also loves being dressed up — she will happily wear pajamas, hats, boas, and more. 🧡🐾

Sampson, adopted 2022.
“Every day when I wake up and see his face I am so thankful.” 🧡🐾
#calaverashumane #shelterdog #animalshelter
“My husband and I adopted one of your pups in March, Limerick. We had his DNA done and wanted to share with you. Also, he is doing great and is so smart. We just adore him!” 🧡🐾

Brothers Oscar and Archie are 11 weeks old. They’re ridiculously adorable scruffalumps, likely a mixture of many breeds. They have extremely short legs that are bowed (Basset? Dachshund?), hair that’s simultaneously fuzzy, shaggy, and wiry.

We know that accidents happen. The solution? Prevention.
In just eight months, we have already helped more than 850 pets in our county to be fixed at little to no charge to their owners. Program funds will run out soon!

Milo, now Sidecar, adopted early May.
“He’s loving life! Got him a carrying case so now he’s my road dog.” 🧡🐾

Good morning from Barney, a sweetheart of a scruffalump who’s ready to find his new person or family.
Once he’s gotten his wiggles out, Barney is totally down for a good cuddle. Meet this flufftastic 30-pounder at our Angels Camp center. 🧡🐾

Our first kittens of the season! Available Friday.
Our very low adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and so much more. "Free" kittens folks give away aren't quite such a bargain after all.
#calaverashumane #animalshelter #kittenseason
This is just one group of behbehs currently being cared for by our volunteers. They’ll be ready for adoption in June.
If you have your heart set on a particular color or color/gender combo, you’re always welcome to call us to inquire who’s currently available.

All three girls we transferred in from the hoarding case with 60+ dogs in one house were adopted today. We were delighted to meet such kind folks who are willing to give them a fresh start. 🧡🐾

Bean, adopted Wednesday, is snug and secure in his new home.
From the adopter: “When three little girls wear a bean out, we nap.” 🧡🐾

Tiny chihuahua mix puppy Bean
Available for adoption 4/16.
Bean was brought to us by a good Samaritan at four weeks old. He’s ready now to find a home and start his next chapter.
What IS he? We honestly don't know. If we had to guess, we'd say this, that, the other thing, and chihuahua.
#calaverashumane #animalshelter
Adopted 2024.
“This is Gator, now Finley. He just turned one and he is the happiest puppy!
“He loves to go to work with me and being wrapped up in any kind of blanket. He has been an amazing addition to our family! He is well loved.”
#calaverashumane #animalshelter #adoptachi
Another beautiful litter born safe and warm in foster care. (The very pregnant mama was an unclaimed stray.)
This little family will stay together until the kittens are raised, then all (the mama too!) will be available for adoption.

Recent adoptee Heavenly (the lovely tortie seen here) decided to meet the canine roommate in her new home immediately, and the dog was delighted.
“Atticus is beside himself with joy right now,” their mom said. Looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

One-year-old Mochi is an absolutely stunning Snowshoe mix. Check out those eyes, and get lost in their icy blue depths!
Mochi is friendly and sweet, and has lived happily with other cats and small kiddos.

Abby is about four months old. Her genes are super-cool and very unique: Dad was a purebred boxer, mom was a purebred heeler. So her DNA is roughly divided 50/50 between those two breeds.

Eight-month-old Teddy had the worst three letters assigned to him at intake at the transferring shelter: HBC, which stands for "hit by car."
Fortunately, X-rays revealed only a small skull fracture, which is healing well.
Available for adoption 3/27.

Brian (the talking wonder dog we shared with you this morning) adopted. Brian was a transfer from Stanislaus Animal Services Agency.
Brian will be having a dental at our expense in about two weeks. We do this for any older adoptees who need it.
