WHO WE ARE
We are a group of animal volunteers. We share a building with Animal Control and work at placing homeless pets with owners.
Adopting a Friend
Altered dogs are adopted for $100. Dogs under 30 pounds are $140. Puppies Unaltered puppies are $100 plus the state required voucher for alteration for $40. Therefore, puppies are $140 total. Altered cats are $55. Unaltered kittens are $30 plus the state required voucher for alteration for $40, totaling $70. Prospective owners MUST realize the serious commitment of adopting a dog or cat. The commitment lasts for the life-time of the animal. We adopt out companion animals only.
To ensure successful adoptions, we evaluate every animal prior to becoming available for adoption in order to match them with compatible households. This is why you must be completely honest when filing out an adoption application, as to if you have children, other pets, and other vital details that will be asked of you.
We ask that you come down to our shelter between the visiting hours of 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday to spend some time with the dog or cat that interests you and your family. We do sometimes take travel holds if you live out of town, and for more information regarding this, please call our office between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
An adoption contract will need to be filled out and APPROVED BY OUR STAFF before you can adopt an animal from our shelter. Find one on our web site to download at www.hsotc.org. If you rent your home, your landlord will have to provide a letter stating that you can have animals at your residence. Also, all of our animals MUST be spayed or neutered before they leave our facility, unless they are under 6 months of age. Please call or stop by and ask questions regarding spaying/neutering our animals.
A knowledgeable person from our staff will answer any questions you may have, and provide you with a short counseling session as to the care of your new cat or dog before you can take him or her home. At the time of adoption, you will receive a free veterinary examination certificate to use at your vet of choice.
Our goal is to ensure a safe and happy adoption for both the animal and the owner.
NOTE: Before becoming available for adoption, all dogs and cats arriving at the shelter from Animal Control are tested, vaccinated and spayed or neutered to insure healthy animals.
Volunteering and Donations
There are a variety of ways to help. We just opened a brand new Thrift Store, located at 14317 Mono Way in Suite D and E. It is in East Sonora in the old John Sierra Market Shopping CENTER, not in the market itself. We need all kinds of donations for the store from pet supplies, to clothes, to furniture. We are also in need of volunteers who wish to assist the store manager, Roxanne, in retail help. Also, we are collecting old cell phones and ink cartridges because we turn them in for cash. You can sponsor a particular animal while it is in our shelter, help with our fundraisers, sponsor our pet of the week ads in our local paper, The Union Democrat, or even recycle at Cal Sierra and let them know you want your recycling funds to be donated to us. We are funded 100% donations by local people and businesses. We do not receive any outside funding, such as the Humane Society of the United States, or any other public funds. Thus our operating expenses are paid with whatever donations we receive. Anything that you as a caring person and or business can give, no matter how much or what, is appreciated.We are also in need of volunteers! If you can give our animals just a couple of hours a week they will be so grateful. You can help when and where you want. From walking dogs to petting cats or helping at the desk will make a big differance to them. Volunteers are who and how we stay in business. Please call or stop by, the animals would love to meet another person. We also need lots of items, old towels and blankets, cat and dog supplies, cleaning items, and so on. But most of all we need your hands and help!
