Memorial Day 2026

CCHS will be closed for Memorial Day, May 25, 2026, as we pause to honor and remember. We hope you enjoy a safe, fun holiday with family, friends, and a few extra tail wags from your pets. We’ll reopen on Wednesday, May 27, 2026!

Happy Birthday, River!

We are grateful to have many dedicated friends in the community, and today we celebrate 12-year-old River!

For the past several years, she has chosen to use her birthday to raise funds for our programs. Since 2022, $2,655 has been donated in honor of River and her birthday. This incredible generosity helped thousands of animals find their families.

River is truly an animal lover and advocate, and we are so thankful to have her as a supporter.

And she's not done yet! This year alone, River has inspired over $700 in gifts to the shelter. And it's not even her big day yet!

Thank you, River. We hope you have a very happy birthday with your family, friends, and pets!

Limited Edition Designs to Support CCHS

This summer, we are offering our friends some fun and funky limited-edition shirts in our Bonfire store!

We receive a small portion of the sales, and your help in spreading our mission to new friends in the Community. Dog lovers and cat lovers both will find something to love, and are proud to wear.

Get them before they're retired on August 31, 2026. Thank you to Erin Eastham, the artist and friend who donated these designs.
