Consider Fostering

Fostering a pet can be a crucial part of a pet's journey to adoption. Can you open your home to a pet, temporarily? Not only will you be directly ensuring animals have a safe place to grow and heal, but it will also give CCHS the opportunity to house even more pets here at the shelter.

Learn More and Enroll

You might be asked to care for:
🐾 Newborns, too young to safely be at the shelter
🐾 Pets recovering from a medical event
🐾 An animal that needs more time or space thrive

CCHS provides the pet supplies, medical care, food, and more to help you care for your foster pet. Please consider applying if you can open your home to a pet in temporary need.

Summer Sessions Starting!

If you haven't already, enroll your 10–15-year-old animal lover in our Pet Pals club! The summer session will be June, July, and August.

Meet Fjord

Fjord is a mature dog with a gentle spirit and a heart full of sweetness. He may be a little older, but that just means he brings the kind of calm companionship and quiet loyalty that only comes with age.

See Fjord's Profile

Fjord loves walks, peanut butter, and plushies.  He also enjoys a cozy place to relax, and has a warm, affectionate personality that makes him easy to adore. If you are looking for a loving companion with soulful eyes and a sweet nature, Fjord could be the perfect addition to your home.

Fjord qualifies for our "Seniors for Seniors" Program!

Community need ⚠️

Did you know we operate a Community Pet Food Pantry?

While our focus is on the homeless pets in our care, we hate to see temporary financial hardship be the thing that separates a pet from their family, and we do what we can to help. Recently, we have been struggling to keep up with our neighbor's need.

Read about the Program

Whenever a pet food is donated to the shelter that we can't feed directly to our pets, it's immediately added to the pantry. Any wet or dry food donations will support this program; even opened dry food, if in its original packaging!

Thank you to all who have given to this program!
