The Humane Society of Stanislaus County is teaming up with Stanislaus County Animal Services, Cat Network of Stanislaus, other rescues and individuals to reduce the euthanasia rates of cats and kittens in our community!
This program will allow residents of Stanislaus County (except Turlock and Oakdale whose residence falls within those jurisdications) will be able to surrender feral and/or community cats to the SASA shelter on Cornucopia the same as before.
Those cats will then be evaluated for adoption. If a cat is too feral, or an unlikely candidate for adoption they will no longer be euthanized -- instead they will be spayed/neutered/vetted and ear tipped. The Humane Society of Stanislaus County, and other volunteers will go to the shelter to pick up these cats so that they may be returned to the community to live free, without the ability to reproduce.
We are very excited about this program, and will need many volunteers to participate in releasing these cats every Monday-Saturday from now until September. We have high hopes that we not only immediately reduce euthanasia, but can look forward to a greatly reduced "Kitten Seasons" in the future.

Help us give this little doggy the care she needs.
Just out of the shelter yesterday (Jan. 19), being cared for by a volunteer, she doesn't even have a name yet. Previously neglected, she has rickets now, and will probably need surgery to fix her legs. She also has distemper or something undefined we don't even know what, yet.
We are asking for donations now to help with her doctor bills. Click here if you would like to help. Choose “Rickets Pup Fund” on the on-line donation form.
Or, if you prefer to write a check, write “Rickets Pup Fund” on it, and mail it to:

Sheba got both of her front legs broken when she was stepped on by a cow. Her owners couldn't afford to take her to a vet, so they brought her to HSSC. (Otherwise, they were about to take her to a field and shoot her.) Both of her front legs were in splints, but now she's healed and ready to go. She is one cute, lovable, playful little puppy.
UPDATE: Nov. 23, 2012: Too late! Somebody got her already! Her new home is near Half Moon Bay where she will have plenty of room to run and play. And her new name is Joy now.
