Mission: Animal care, protection, adoption shelter and spay/neuter services for tuolumne county
Programs: Animal care, protection and adoption shelter- the humane society of tuolumne count (hsotc)has been facilitating adoptions for companion animals since 1947. The shelter has consistently found homes for an average of 350 cats and dogs per year providing food, shelter, exercise, medical care, vaccinations and care until our residents find their forever homes. During 2017, we adopted out 56 cats and 102 dogs, provided in excess of 12,499 in medical care, medical supplies and medications, engaged emergency veterinarian assistance, cremations and distributed free pet food to community animals in need.
spay and neuter program- over and above our animal care, protection and adoption programs, the hsotc has other programs available that enhance our community at large. The low-income spay/neuter voucher program assists low-income individuals and familites with the financial hardship of spaying or neutering their pets in addition to a flat-fee based spay & neuter assistance program (snap) for our community felines. During 2017 we assisted in the spay or neuter of 295 animals and spent in excess of 19,480 to spay or neuter hsotc shelter animals before adoption and help offset the costs associated with our low spay or neuter programs.
