Featured Animal: Maurice
Meet Cuddly Maurice!

Say hello to Maurice, a precious pit mix with SO MUCH love to give!
Maurice has had a fairly long stay here at BHS, he’s been with us since October of 2019, and while we love taking care of him, we can’t wait for him to find his people! He can be very nervous around new people and needs some time and treats to warm up. He loves to cuddle and will melt into your lap as soon as he’s deemed you a friend! We’re hoping to find him a quieter, adult only home where he can gets lots of attention come out of his shell at his own pace. Maurice also has a sponsored adoption fee, so there’s no charge for adopting him! He may be able to get along with other dogs with some slow introductions.

Sweet Success: Coy-Odie!

"I wasn’t really looking for a dog. One evening, on a lark, I accessed the Butte Humane Society website and perused the dogs available for adoption ... and there he was!.."

"...Two weeks later BHS contacted me to ask if I was still interested. I made an appointment to meet “Odie” and knew he was the right size and a perfect match for me! Stopped by Tractor Supply to pick up some food and a harness and headed home to introduce “Odie” to his new environs.

  After a trip to the groomer for a bath and trim, three weeks later he and I loaded up my travel trailer and headed to Baja for a monthlong, beach camping vacation. He was in 'doggie heaven'!".. . Read more
We Need Fosters!
As we plan for the unknown, we would like to create a list of households willing and able to foster an animal! Becoming a foster is more important now than ever!

Our greatest need will be foster homes that can accommodate large dogs.

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month, but heartworm disease is something you will hear us educating our clients on year-round. Why? Let's look at some stats. The Companion Animal Parasite Council gathers test information from veterinarians across the U.S. to determine the rate of infection.
The current infection rate in Butte County is 1 in 63 dogs tested compared to a statewide average of 1 in 303. Surrounding counties have an even worse rate of infection; Tehama county is 1 in 40, Plumas county is 1 in 14, and Shasta county is 1 in 50. 
Why is Heartworm Disease a big deal? Heartworm disease affects the heart, lungs and pulmonary blood vessels of pets, putting immense strain on their cardiovascular system... Read more

Match Challenge!
Butte Humane Society (BHS) is excited to share two important announcements regarding The Journey Home capital campaign. Since it was established in 1911, the organization has never had a permanent location to call “home.” Leased spaces, cramped quarters and antiquated buildings have hindered the organization’s ability to fully meet the animal welfare needs of Chico and Butte County. However, the organization has been working diligently for the past two years to change that and is quickly closing in on a very exciting finish line... Read More
