Puddin is Home!

The "King of Cuddletown" is finally able to pass the crown to a successor... After 238 days in the shelter, Puddin has gone home!

We wish the best to Puddin and his new family. Sending lots of love!

Make a Difference

Volunteers are vital, because cats, dogs, and critters at the shelter need our help (and look forward to playing with us!) 365 days a year

Join our next online volunteer orientation on April 2, 2026 at 4 PM to learn more about ways you can improve the lives of pets.

Oliver Aang's "Happy Tail"

You might remember reading about the guinea pig Stitch on our Happy Tails page, where we celebrated his happy life after his passing.

We received an update from his family about Oliver Aang, one of the guinea pigs they've since brought into their lives, and we wanted to share it with you.

Read Oliver Aang's Happy Tail, and the stories of other CCHS Alums here.

It's truly wonderful to see pets in their happy homes, and we hope you enjoy reading about Oliver Aang and his new brother, Taffy!
