Mendocino Coast Humane Society
Our History
Mendocino Coast Humane Society was created by Coastal residents who wanted a ‘no-kill’ alternative to the County’s Animal Control.
To increase adoptions, our first Mobile Pet Adoption truck was purchased in 1998. We continue to offer Mobile Pet Adoption at Cafe Beaujolais on Second Saturdays during the spring and summer, as well as holding pop-ups at other locations.
The new Adoption Center was completed in July 2001 with the help of many donors and the tireless efforts of staff and volunteers. The Adoption Center provides a warm, comfortable and secure home for our animals.
Improvements to the Adoption Center property have continued, including an in-house surgery, large outside kennels, heated indoor floors for our dogs, additional kennel facilities for isolation and kittens/puppies, noise abatement panels in the dog kennel area, a grassy, fenced exercise lawn for daytime exercise, and the Kitty Cottage.
