About this shelter

Humane Society of Sonoma County - Santa Rosa in Santa Rosa, CA

The Humane Society of Sonoma County - Santa Rosa is located in Santa Rosa, California, roughly 50 miles southeast of San Francisco, and operates as a humane society open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Committed to kindness in service to the community since 1931, it is a locally founded, donor-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides a safe haven for animals without relying on federal, state, or other humane society funding. Its mission is to transform animal welfare across Sonoma County through prevention, community veterinary care, innovative sheltering, partnerships, and education, and it helps adoptable dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs find homes while also offering dog training, a pet food pantry, youth humane education programs, and veterinary services to the community.

Adopting from this shelter

Adoption process

Prospective adopters review available animals, then meet with an adoption counselor for matchmaking to find the right pet; adopters must be at least 18 with valid photo ID, and if approved, can typically take the pet home the same day (some pets may require a dog-to-dog introduction or post-adoption behavior consult).
