Sequoia Humane Society
Our Mission
The Sequoia Humane Society is dedicated to providing compassionate, humane care for animals while striving to end pet overpopulation through education and advocacy. We envision a community where every animal is treated with kindness and finds their way into a loving, responsible home.
A Legacy of Compassion
For over 50 years, we have served as an independent, private nonprofit organization committed to the welfare of our region's companion animals. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we operate without ongoing government funding, relying instead on the generosity of our donors, grant supporters, and community partners to continue our vital work.
How We Care
We believe in maintaining a high standard of care for every animal that comes through our doors. Our dedicated team and facility in Eureka provide a safe environment where pets receive medical support, including spay and neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping, as they prepare for their forever families.
Your Adoption Journey
Finding the perfect companion is a joyous, life-changing experience, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our thoughtful adoption process ensures that each pet is matched with a household where they can thrive, creating lasting bonds that enrich both human and animal lives.
Meet Your New Best Friend
We invite you to visit our shelter in Eureka, Tuesday through Saturday, to meet the wonderful dogs and cats currently waiting for their second chance. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or wish to support our mission, we welcome you to join our community today. Call us at (707) 442-1782 or browse our adoptable animals online to begin your journey.

5/30 - Sequoia Humane Society Issues Statement Amid Miranda’s Rescue Investigation
The Eureka nonprofit says it has no transfer partnership with the Fortuna rescue under investigation and used the moment to outline its own adoption practices and expansion plans.
10/8 - 🎃🧡October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! What better time to meet these two sweet girls looking for their forever homes? Zoe and Anya are 5½-year-old Labradoodle sisters who are ready for their next chapter. ❤️ They were originally owner surrenders to the Fortuna Police Department. Fortuna PD then transferred them to Moore Love Animal Rescue, who cared for them before they came to Sequoia Humane Society through our local rescue partnership. We don’t always have large-dog kennels available, since many of our large dogs are long-term residents. But when space opens up, we love being able to work with our local rescue partners to bring in more dogs who need a chance at finding their forever homes. ❤️ Both Zoe and Anya are very sweet girls with lots of energy! They are available for adoption together or separately. While they have spent their lives together, Zoe, who is the larger of the two, tends to bully Anya. Because of this dynamic, we feel they may do best in separate homes, where each girl can receive individual attention, build confidence, and focus on training. If you’re looking for a fun, active companion with lots of love to give, Zoe or Anya might be your perfect match! 🐶💕 Come meet them at Sequoia Humane Society and make October the month you adopt a shelter dog! #AdoptAShelterDogMonth #changinglivesfourpawsatatime #ShelterDogs #AdoptDontShop #AdoptLocal #sequoiahumanesociety #labradoodles

10/2 - 🐾 A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS! 🐾 We are so grateful to the amazing volunteers from State Fund who spent time helping Sequoia Humane Society over the past two weeks! The first group rolled up their sleeves and helped us relocate several of our kennels—barn-raising style! 🛠️🐕 It was a big job, and we couldn’t have done it without all the extra hands. Last week, another State Fund volunteer group returned to help us replace kennel covers that were in need of an upgrade. These new covers will provide much-needed protection and comfort for our animals. The kennel cover replacements were made possible through generous grants from the Humboldt Area Foundation, and we are incredibly thankful for their support as well. To everyone who gave their time, energy, and hard work to help improve our shelter—we appreciate you! ❤️ Thank you, State Fund, for helping us make a difference for the animals in our care! 🐾 #changinglivesfourpawsatatime #happytailshappyhearts #AdoptDontShop #volunteersmakeadifference #PetLoverCommunity #ThankYou #Volunteer #sequoiahumanesociety #statefund

9/15 - 🐱 WE’RE FULL TO THE GILLS WITH KITTIES! 🐱 We have cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities just waiting to meet their people! Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten, a laid-back adult, or a sweet senior lap buddy, now is a GREAT time to come down and find your new best friend. ❤️ Of course, having this many kitties also means we’re going through cat litter like nobody’s business! 😳 We’re using approximately 60–75 pounds of litter EVERY SINGLE DAY! That’s a whole lot of litter boxes. 😹 If you have some extra litter on hand or would like to help us keep those boxes clean, we would be incredibly grateful for a donation. We’re currently in need of both clumping and non-clumping litter. 🐾 We’re also in need of kitten wet food! Our little ones are hungry and growing fast. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter, or you can help from home through our wish lists. Every bag of litter and every can of kitten food makes a difference for the cats in our care. And if you’ve been thinking about adding a feline friend to your family… come meet your new lap buddy! 🐾❤️ #changinglivesfourpawsatatime #AdoptFosterDonate #ShelterPetsRock #sequoiahumanesociety #PetLoverCommunity #PurrfectMatch #CatsOfFacebook #RescueCats #Donate
