✨🐾 Spotlight: Cheshire! 🐾✨

He may not be your typical Adopt a Senior Pet Month feature… but Cheshire has been one of our most patient senior residents here at HSSC — over 280 days of waiting, hoping, and quietly cheering on every friend who found their forever home before him.

Cheshire arrived with 11 other cats from a home of 29, and he’s watched each one get adopted while he kept working up the courage to shine. And shine he does. 🌟

Once a very shy soul, Cheshire has made incredible strides! This mysterious little gentleman is a true enigma — quiet, cautious, and occasionally prone to p**f! disappearing when life gets overwhelming. But when he feels safe? That’s when the magic happens. ✨

He’s looking for a calm, patient adopter — someone who understands that trust is a spell that takes time. But once it’s cast? You may just discover the most loyal, loving companion you’ve ever met. 💙

Ready to meet this sweet boy and bring a little wonderland into his life?
Come visit Cheshire at the shelter or give us a call at (707) 542-0882 to chat with an adoptions counselor.

✨ Last of Adopt a Senior Pet Month ✨
So let’s shine the spotlight on Biscuit—a perfectly sweet little lady who’s ready to warm up your winter!

Biscuit is a 10-year-old mini poodle mix with a heart of gold and a very social streak. She loves meeting new people, soaking up attention, and showing off her gentle, lovable personality. She’s also delightfully food-motivated (treats = instant best friends), and she did wonderfully when meeting a similarly sized pup here at the shelter.

This brave girl came to us with chronic eye issues and ultimately needed an enucleation of her left eye from our wonderful medical team! She’s healing wonderfully and feeling so much better. Her spirit hasn’t dimmed one bit. ✨

If you’re looking for a sweet senior companion who just wants love, comfort, and a cozy place to call home, Biscuit is your girl.

🐾 Come meet this adorable senior pup today!
Call our Adoptions Team at 707-542-0882 to learn more.

💙 Giving Tuesday is just one week away! 💙

We’re already feeling so grateful for compassionate supporters like you.

Your kindness fuels our mission to save lives and support the well-being of pets and the people who love them. One of the biggest ways we do this is through our Pet Food Pantry, which helps pet owners facing financial hardship keep their beloved animals healthy, fed, and home.

🐾 Our Goal: Raise $15,000 to keep the pantry stocked and ready to help as rising costs bring more families to our doors.

With your support, we can continue saying yes when our neighbors need us most—and keep more animals out of our shelters.

💛 Why wait for Giving Tuesday?
If you’re able, please consider making an early gift today to help us start the week strong.

Happy !

Don’t let Emma’s resting grump face fool you—this gorgeous girl is all heart. 💗 While she may look like she’s judging your life choices, she’s really just wondering when the cuddles are coming.

Emma’s only just entered her “senior” era (think: early-retirement energy), and honestly? She’s thriving.

If you’re looking for an affectionate, easygoing feline who still has so many love-filled years ahead of her, Emma’s your girl. ✨

Come meet Emma at our Santa Rosa location, or call (707) 542-0882 to chat with an adoptions counselor for more info.
