Humane Society of Tuolumne County

Humane Society of Tuolumne County Come visit us! We are open from 9:30AM to 3:00PM Tuesday-Saturday. In addition, the HSOTC has programs available that enhance our community at large.

The Humane Society of Tuolumne County (HSOTC) has consistently found homes for an average of 220 cats and dogs per year. Our staff and dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to care for these animals, providing them with the second chance they so greatly deserve. Supplying food, shelter, exercise, medical care, vaccinations, and love until our residents find their new forever home. For instance, the

Low-Income Spay/Neuter Voucher Program as well as the feline-specific SNAP program assists low-income individuals and families by easing the financial hardship of spaying or neutering their pets. The HSOTC also provides free humane education classes and presentations to the community in order to teach individuals and families how to become more responsible pet owners. Emergency veterinarian assistance and pet food are among some of the other vital outreach services hat the shelter provides. The HSOTC receives funding only in the form of donations and fundraising efforts. We receive no government funding nor are we associated with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). This is why it is so important that our community be aware of these simple facts; we need the support of our community in order to survive. Support can come in the form of volunteerism, general donations, membership, pledge-to-give sustaining program, and attending HSOTC events. It is also important that this message is spread throughout our community - and we need your help getting the message out. By supporting the HSOTC, you are helping us to find forever homes for the homeless animals of Tuolumne County.

This past weekend our shelter was buzzing—wagging tails, patient owners, and a line out the door for our “Check the Chip” clinic with Second Chance Spay and Neuter Clinic

In just under 4 hours over two days, we provided 50 free microchips and the Second Chance team impressively administered 88 low- and no-cost vaccines (no small feat!). We were so busy we actually ran out of both microchips and vaccines—so if you missed out on Saturday, we’re sorry, and we’d love to help you at the next clinic.

We loved meeting so many wonderful pets and their dedicated owners. There was truly an overabundance of cuteness at this event—swipe through to see the proof!

Huge thanks to Second Chance for providing the vaccines along with their time and expertise, and to our generous veterinary sponsors—Twain Harte Veterinary Hospital, All Small Creatures Mobile Vet, Jamestown Veterinary Hospital—along with the members of the HSOTC Board for making the free microchips possible.

The turnout told us one thing loud and clear: our community needs more of this! Stay tuned for details on the next one. ❤️🐾

How cute is little Romy—she visited us this morning to get her microchip during our “Check the Chip” Microchip/Vaccine Clinic 🥰

It was a *very* busy day—so busy that we’re now running low on supplies. We’ve got 12 microchips left, no more free vaccines, and a limited supply of low-cost vaccines. If you couldn’t make it in today but still want to get your pet chipped or vaccinated, we recommend coming early tomorrow.

We’ll be here from 9am until supplies run out (and we think they will!) or until 11am, whichever comes first.

Thanks to everyone who came out with their pets today! 🐾

The Music litter is available for adoption! Stop by the shelter to meet these cuties.

08/12/2025

We posted a few days ago about the litter of kittens named after candies (general consensus: very cute—yes, we agree). Since then, they’ve practically flown out the door to their new homes, and now only one is left.

Even kitten adoptions can be slow sometimes (not this round!), but when you aren’t a baby-faced, heart-melting miniature pom-pom, finding a home can take even longer. Which is a shame—because if anyone deserves to go first, it’s these mama cats.

Scout, Candy, and Juliet (L to R in the carousel) have all raised their litters right here at the shelter, proving themselves to be diligent, loving, and downright wonderful moms. They’re a trio of tender-hearted and affectionate cats (though Candy does bring some sass when she feels it’s warranted).

Can you help spread the word? Like and share this post to help these three find their people—or, if we’ve piqued your interest, head to our website (link in comments) to fill out an adoption application and get the ball rolling on what might be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make!

Pets get lost all the time—but pets with microchips are over THREE TIMES more likely to find their way home. 🏠🐾

So, in honor of National “Check the Chip” Day, we’re hosting an event to bring FREE microchips (+ FREE vaccines!) for dogs and cats in our community.

Think your pet might already be microchipped, but need to double-check? Recently moved or changed contact info, but not sure how to update the chip? Don't worry—we can help with that, too!

Plus, our friends at Second Chance Spay and Neuter Clinic have teamed up with us to provide FREE DHPP (dog) and FVRCP (cat) vaccines, too. Extra bonus: Bordetella (AKA Kennel Cough) and Leptospirosis vaccines available for your pup, just $20 each.

No appointments needed—just come on by (with your dogs on leashes and cats in individual carriers, of course).

Questions? Call the shelter at 209.984.5489, or send us a message!

❤ BIG thanks to Second Chance Spay and Neuter Clinic, All Small Creatures Mobile Vet, Twain Harte Veterinary Hospital, and Jamestown Veterinary Hospital for making this event possible with their generous sponsorship.

🎉 Happy 15th Birthday to our beloved resident cat, Mercedes!

If you’ve been in our lobby, you might have spotted her… but then again, maybe not—she’s a proud introvert whose favorite place to be is her curled up in her own bed.

We adore her daily company and think she’s absolute royalty.

Help us spoil the birthday queen with cat litter, wet food, or treats! She promises to share with the other shelter cats 😉 Our Amazon wishlist makes it easy—visit the link in comments, and send a lil’ something for Mercedes and crew right to our door! ❤️

Mama cat "Candy" gave birth at the shelter to this litter of six SUPER cute kittens back in early June. Phew, they're finally ready for homes!

Come meet them at the shelter — Tues–Sat, 9:30 AM – 3 PM — or fill out an application online (link in comments)
