My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I'm Skeeter! I am still getting used to my surroundings, however I am very brave. I love to be with my people and in their laps. I am very friendly and am looking for my new home. If you think I would be a good fit for you, then come meet me!

* Fantastic news! Your $150 adoption fee now comes with a complimentary $250 training session with our partners at Freedom K9, ensuring you and your newly adopted dog embark on a journey of success together. Elevate your adoption experience by bringing home a loving companion and professional training expertise with Freedom K9.

* Due to age or sterilization status, this animal is available for fostering with the intention of adoption upon reaching the appropriate age or after undergoing spay/neuter surgery. As a foster parent, you can bring the animal into your home, providing care and love until the adoption process is finalized. Once the animal is ready, you can complete the adoption, making the furry friend a permanent member of your family!

More about this shelter

“The Siskiyou Humane Society exists to improve the lives of companion animals by sheltering, rehabilitating, reducing pet overpopulation and finding permanent homes. We promote responsible pet ownership, kindness to animals and enhancement of human-animal relationships through education and outreach.”

Since its founding in 1968, the Siskiyou Humane Society Adoption Center in Mt. Shasta has provided rescue and refuge for hundreds of homeless cats and dogs every year. The shelter’s staff and volunteers take special pride in getting to know the animals as individuals. Because they are familiar with the personalities of the shelter cats and dogs, they can help potential adopters find the best matches for their families and lifestyles. From kittens and puppies to previously trained adults, all pets adopted from SHS are spayed and neutered, given permanent micro-chip identification, and adult dogs are assessed for behavior using a nationally known behavior evaluation.

Siskiyou Humane Society is a “no-kill” facility, animals aren’t euthanized because they’ve been in the shelter for too long, or to make room for more animals, but are cared for until they find new homes. Preventing pet over-population is a big part of the Society’s mission statement. The shelter provides information and referrals for low-income Spay/Neuter assistance programs in Siskiyou County. SHS also offers humane education presentations for schools, youth groups and service organizations with topics like dog-bite prevention and kindness to animals. To help owned pets stay in their homes, the shelter’s Behavior Team provides free consulting for common behavior problems, so that pet owners and pet can live together in peace.

As a private, 501(c)(3)non-profit animal welfare organization, the shelter receives no funding from government agencies or national humane organizations. Most of the funding comes from private donations and the sales at the Society’s two thrift stores.
