It was our pleasure to participate in the 2025 Rhododendron Parade! 🌸🐾 We are so grateful to every spectator who cheered us on and gave our pups some much-deserved love along the way. For several of our shelter dogs, this was a brand-new experience, and they handled the excitement with incredible spirit and resilience. 🐶✨

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful volunteers and community members who joined us to walk our dogs during the parade. 🙌 Your enthusiasm and support made it possible for our shelter pets to take part in this special event, and we couldn’t have done it without you. 💛

Events like these are an important opportunity for our dogs to gain exposure, build confidence, and meet potential adopters — and thanks to everyone’s efforts, the day was a huge success. 🎉 We are proud to be part of such a supportive community and look forward to many more celebrations together! 🐕‍🦺🌟

If you would, allow me a thank you story. I moved to Eureka before I became Executive Director here. It wasn't just the exquisite redwoods and beautiful coast -- it was the vibe. There's something about Humboldt county people. We buoy each other, have each other’s backs. Like you’ve had our backs here at the shelter. Friday, Will Carter, aka talented plumber, volunteered to fix a major issue as our high-use commercial washer sprang leaks. Will armed me with photos and descriptions and I was off to Pierson's for just $54 in parts that he didn't have in his truck. Pierson’s staff quickly guided me to each item we needed. A few hours later, mission accomplished. Will generously donated his time, his skills, and parts he had. THAT's you, Humboldt county. Today, if vibe has a face, it's Will’s.

This week we're featuring Odie, a 5yr old, neutered, gorgeous and playful German Shepherd mix dog. We have to smile every day Odie gets to play with his beloved Jolly ball out in our special dog field. Would this playful dog be a love-match with you? Come visit and meet Odie anytime between 12-4pm, Tues-Sat. (Video by Pat Hanek, Creative Services Director, who films the 'Pet of the Week' segment for KIEM-TV in Eureka)

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and for Sequoia Humane Society, we are celebrating the new shape of our entrance area that had been flooded. Kyle, owner of Humboldt Landscape, was able to determine where the water was flooding in from, repair the drainage and fill the area. He added several large decorative boulders to frame the area. We are thrilled with the work Kyle and his assistant Jesus completed today!

Our affectionate, adorable Stormi is still up for adoption! She's such a friendly little bright-eyed 7-yr-young, sleek 10lb, DSH cat looking for her furever home!

🐾 Meet Maddy 🐾

This sweet girl’s story didn’t start the way she deserved. Maddy was left tied to a post in our field overnight with no food, no water, and no one to comfort her. But despite it all, she remains one of the friendliest pups you’ll ever meet! 💛

Maddy is a 5-year-old Akita mix with a heart full of love for everyone she meets. Now, she’s looking for a family who will cherish her the way she should have been from the start. Could that be you?

Come meet Maddy at Sequoia Humane Society and give her the second chance she’s been waiting for! 🏡🐶

Meet Ms Stormi! Today, in our 'Pet of the Week' segment that Pat Haneck tapes with us each week for local TV, we featured 5yr old, domestic short black hair, Stormi. Her beloved caregiver had to surrender Stormi for medical reasons and wanted to ensure sweet Stormy would be taken care of. Stormi is curious, loving, playful, vocal, healthy and gorgeous. She's looking for her furever home preferably as an only cat. Stormi purromises to give you her undivided attention!

Seriously?? Sweet little Marc Chagall is STILL up for adoption? Yes this handsome cattle dog mix is! Marc is a cuddly, gentle, 3-month old, 21 lb bundle of playfulness and affection who minds his manners and seems to get along with everyone as he relaxes with us in our reception office. Look in those eyes...

One of our best 'foster fail' stories. I was there in December when this adorable girl Elsa came into our shelter. She was scared, shaking, couldn't even look in my face, and had been cruelly tied up to a fence overnight. She tugged at my heart as I sat calmly beside her, stroking her head, after wrapping her in some warm blankets. In early afternoon, JR, one of our faithful volunteers came in to walk dogs. He patiently sat on the floor with her for 15min before even attempting to put a leash on her. Then they were off for their first walk. Elsa eagerly looked forward to JR's visits and the two of them bonded. JR agreed to foster Elsa. This week, they returned to make it official. JR adopted Elsa. That's what we do. Transform lives four paws at a time! Happy trails, JR & Elsa!!!

I want to give a shout out to Bart Lunn and Northcoast Plumbing who came to our rescue this week when one of our pipes burst at Sequoia Humane Society. Not only did Bart make time to come to evaluate the situation but stayed and repaired the problem. The repair was done beautifully with generously donated above-standard quality materials and impeccable workmanship. It's a privilege to partner with the best in our community. I highly recommend Northcoast Plumbing. They are a hero to us! Thank you, Bart, we're thrilled to have you on our side!
