We provide all supplies and support for our foster families. Keep them home program: outreach program for low income and underserved communities needing assistance to avoid surrendering their pet due to lack of resources. We opened our community pet resource center in yreka in 2023 to provide additional resources to pet owners in need. We offer pet food and supplies at that location as well as at our adoption center in mt shasta. Behavior training and counseling: shs provided free behavior consulting for cats and dogs to pet owners. We provided training and management information to pet owners to encourage solutions of problematic behaviors and retention of pets in the home. Pet deposit program: shs assists senior citizens by paying their pet rental deposits so that they can keep their pets. Education and volunteer program: we provided shelter tours and in house education presentations to local students.

We have increased our volunteer program and now have many regular dog walkers and kitty socializers that improve the lives our of our shelter pets while they are with us.”
