What
should I do if I
have lost or found
a dog? |
 |
You
should immediately
report it to Animal
Control at 209-984-1338 |
|
How
long do the animals
stay up for adoption? |
|
There
is no time limit.
We have a success
rate of over
97%. Most of
our animals are
adopted in a
week or two.
Dogs that are
here for an extended
period of time
are given enrichment
activities to
keep their stress
level as low
as possible |
|
How
do I get a dog
license? |
|
You
should go to
Animal Control
at 10040 Victoria
Way in Jamestown
. They will be
happy to help
you. |
|
I
can no longer
keep my pet,
what should I
do? |
|
First
you should contact
friends, relatives,
co-workers and
let them know
you are looking
for a new home
for your animal.
We always recommend
that surrendering
your pet to a
shelter as the
last the possible
option. If the
Humane Society
is the last possible
option, please
contact us and
discuss possible
placement. There
are always more
animals then
homes and we
have limited
space and limited
help. We will
need copies of
all veterinary
records and you
will need to
fill out a behavior
evaluation form
to help us place
your pet the
appropriate home.
There is no guarantee
your pet will
be adopted. We
have a very successful
adoption program;
however not every
animal that comes
to us is a candidate
for adoption. |
|
There
is an injured
deer on my property,
what should I
do? |
|
You
should leave
the animal alone.
The stress of
being pursued
by humans can
cause further
injury or even
death. You should
call Animal Control
at 209-984-1338
|
|
What
should
I
do
if
a
dog
or
cat
bites
me? |
|
First,
contact
your
physician
or
health
care
provider
for
medical
advice.
Cat
bites,
especially,
are
likely
to
become
infected.
Secondly,
contact
Animal
Control
(209-984-1338)
to
report
the
bite.
As
a
precaution
for
rabies,
the
State
of
California
requires
that
any
animal
that
bites
a
person
and
breaks
the
skin
must
be
quarantined
for
10
days
from
the
date
of
the
bite.
Even
if
the
animal
has
a
current
rabies
vaccination,
they
must
go
through
the
quarantine.
An
animal
can
be
quarantined
at
the
guardian's
home,
at
a
vet
hospital
or
at
Animal
Control.
The
purpose
of
the
quarantine
is
to
observe
the
animal's
health
condition
during
10
days
following
the
bite.
This
is
to
ensure
the
victim
that
the
animal
is
free
from
rabies. |
|
 |
|
My
neighbor’s
dog barks all
the time. What
can I do? |
|
If
speaking to your
neighbor does
not solve the
problem, contact
Animal Control
(209-984-1338)
and inform them
of the problem.
It’s best
to have another
household in
your area collaborate
the dates and
times of the
barking.
|
|
Are
you a “no
kill shelter”? |
|
No.
We are a limited
intake shelter.
This simply means,
we accept the
animals we choose
to enter the
shelter and we
choose whom we
want to adopt
to. Animals that
can not be medically
rehabilitated
are euthanized
to prevent suffering.
Animals that
pose a risk to
other animals
or people are
euthanized to
prevent harm
to the public.
We have over
a 97% success
rate with our
adoptions.
|
|
What
are your hours? |
|
We
are open Monday
thru Saturday
from 9:00 to
3:00 .
|
|
How
much does it
cost to adopt
an animal? |
|
Dogs
are adopted for
about $75.00
and cats are
$50.00. Puppies
and kittens less
than 4 months
old are a little
more because
of spay and neuter
vouchers
|
|
Do
you have a veterinarian
on site? |
|
No,
we use one of
six local vets
that belong to
the Tuolumne
County Veterinarians
Association.
Each veterinarian
donates one week
ever six weeks
to the animals
that reside at
the Humane Society.
|
|
Do
you give out
spay and neuter
vouchers? |
|
Yes,
they are passed
out on the first
working Monday
of every month.
They are handed
out by the Spay
and Neuter Organization
from 9:00 am
until 3:00 pm
with a limit
of two vouchers
per household.
|
|
Do
you give out
free food? |
|
Occasionally
we get a large
shipment of food
that we share
with low income
families. Please
call us to see
if we have any
to spare.
|
|
Do
you spay and
neuter animals
at your location? |
|
No,
we use the Tuolumne
County Veterinarian
Association Vet.
|
|
What’s
the difference
between you and
Animal Control? |
|
Animal
Control is operated
by Tuolumne County.
They are funded
by the county.
Animal Control
accepts stray
animals. They
keep track of
dog licenses;
they deal with
loose and aggressive
animals. They
are there to
insure public
safety. We are
funded by local
donations and
we find homes
for animals that
deserve a second
chance.
