We’re Here to Help You and Your Pet

We want to help you keep your pet healthy, happy, and by your side.

From our Animal Safehouse Program, Community Medical Programs, and Pet Food Bank to our Pet Loss Support Program and more, we offer resources to support pets and the people who love them when they need it most.

And because life with pets comes with its share of challenges, we also offer behavior and training resources to help you build a stronger bond with your pet. Whether you adopted from us or elsewhere, we’re here to help you put your best paw forward.

Youth Programs

Our Humane Education programs focus on teaching children the importance of proper care and compassion toward the animals that share our world. Learn more about each program below.

Community Support Programs

From veterinary assistance and pet food support to emotional care during the loss or illness of a beloved companion, our programs help keep pets healthy, families together, and our community stronger.

Animal Safehouse

Since 1997, the Animal Safehouse Program at Rancho Coastal Humane Society has kept pets safe while supporting families through temporary challenges. Our no-cost program provides short-term, confidential housing and veterinary care for pets, giving families peace of mind to focus on their safety, access support services, or receive medical care without having to choose between their pet and getting help.

Pet Assisted Therapy

Pets make us laugh, they ease our troubles and enrich our lives. Research shows pets are good for us both physically and emotionally. During a visit from therapy animals, patients can disconnect from their illness and feel happy and hopeful even if only for a short time.

Resources

Bringing a new companion animal into your home is a major adjustment for both your new pet and your family. This is why every Rancho Coastal Humane Society adopter can take advantage of our post-adoption support services. We want to make lifelong matches and give you the tools and resources you need to help make that happen.
