Research shows that dogs don’t just read our voices and body language—they can distinguish between happy and angry human faces, too. The findings offer insight into how dogs evolved to understand us so well. Learn what scientists discovered: https://bit.ly/4o59Dvf

Free dog and cat adoptions through the rest of November! 🐶🐈

More animals arrive as strays every single day, and our shelter is already completely full. To keep saving lives, we need to make space. All adoption fees are waived for every adoptable dog and cat, both in the shelter and in foster care. Every pet goes home spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

We have over a hundred dogs and dozens of cats of all sizes, personalities, and breeds waiting to meet you. Our adoption counselors are here 12–5 daily to help you find your perfect match.

So many dogs and cats need out of the shelters. As a non profit rescue, we rely on donations and unpaid volunteers to help us help animals in need of rescue. UOH is based out of Contra Costa County (of CA) but we are willing to work with foster homes who can be close enough if an animal needs medical care at our vet.

We are asking once again for more help with volunteers AND foster homes. We have so many opportunities to learn about the rescue business. From helping with intake, to fostering, social media, transportation (gas/tolls reimbursed) and so much more. Need community service?? We can sign off on that, too.

As a foster home we provide all the supplies you need. There’s no expense on your part. In exchange, we ask that you nurture your foster dogs, give them a safe place to stay while we look for forever homes. ALSO, you will have first chance to adopt your foster dog or cat before they are introduced to the public.

Email us at [email protected] to find out more. We can’t way to meet you and have you join our VERY successful rescue.

Our is Adam. There is no adoption fee for Pet of the Week to approved homes.

Adam is 15 lbs, 4 years old, and has been looking for his forever home for the last 9 months. Please like, comment, and share so his perfect fit can find him! Adam comes with a year of food shipped via Chewy, and is open to transport for the appropriate adopter.

Adam was hit by a car back in December but has since recovered into a happy, affectionate little guy. He remains f***l incontinent so wears a diaper but it doesn't slow him down. He loves zooming up and down the stairs, and follows his favourite humans around.

He can be reserved when meeting new people but quickly warms up and will gently nudge his head to ask for pats.

To inquire about adopting Adam, please send an email to [email protected].

To make a tax-deductible donation towards his care, please visit www.paypal.me/UOH or Venmo -hoperescue

Thank you for all that you do!!!

🐱 HAPPY VET TECH WEEK! 🐶

We want to thank all of our Vet Techs at Placerville Animal Surgery Center! If we didn’t have them we couldn’t provide the services we do.
Many don’t know but Vet Tech’s do everything from client interaction and education to assisting veterinarians with procedures. They complete all the diagnostic testing and love on your fur baby when they are scared. Our Vet Techs love what they do and that they get to be a part of healing for so many sweet animals.
So, if you know a Vet Tech or get to interact with any of ours, please tell them thank you and let them know how special they are to you and your fur baby.
Each day this week we will be highlighting two members of our staff! We have registered and unregistered Vet Techs. Registered technicians are allowed to perform more invasive procedures than our unregistered technicians. All procedures are performed under veterinarian supervision. We will include our vet assistants and receptionists, as we include them in this week’s celebration.
