Sweet Success: Simon

Simon @simonhowl on Instagram, adopted us on December 27th. He has been an amazing edition to our family! He is so loving! He loves to cuddle, play chase and fetch. He will work for treats and is so smart that he has even pawed to say, “yes you go get me a treat!” Simon has met a couple of dogs, lots of people and he has two cats that he lives with. One he knows to stay away from and one he plays tag with. Simon has encouraged his family to be healthier by taking him on walks before and after work so he doesn’t get so bored. Although Simon is super smart and could be an agility dog (he has ran up and down a slide and through a tunnel) he is looking forward to being trained to be a therapy dog that helps students and people who have experienced trauma. We love Simon so much!

Clinic Corner: January 2020

By BHS Clinic Manager, Emily Acevedo.

Happy New Year!

Did you know that we offer veterinary exams, dental care, and more to the public? That’s right! We pride ourselves in taking great care of our shelter pet’s medical needs, but we see cats and dogs that were not adopted from us as well! We believe quality, affordable veterinary care should be accessible to everyone in our community.

While our clinic has always offered low-cost vaccines and spay/neuter services to the public, it became increasingly apparent that has our community needs access to quality, affordable veterinary care. In January 2018 we began offering wellness and preventative exams and we have continued to grow from there! Our office is open to anyone who would like to use our services, not just BHS adopted pets. From yearly check-ups to heartworm testing, diagnostics to dental cleanings, you may be surprised at how much money you can save by visiting our office for your wellness and preventative veterinary care.

Now that we have moved into a larger facility, we can’t wait to have the opportunity to take care of your furry family members! Call for an appointment today!

Volunteer Spotlight: Randy R.

Randy –There is so much to say and so little room to write! Randy started volunteering at BHS right after the Camp Fire consumed the town of Paradise. It was a critical time when Butte Humane needed a large number of volunteers, and many people were in need of replacement food and items for pets who had escaped the fires with them. Even though Randy had just lost his own home in this fire, he jumped into volunteering with both feet and gave it his all. Randy volunteered most of his free time at our Pet Food & Supply Pantry, where he helped folks who had lost their homes access the tools they needed to continue caring for their pets. He quickly became a team leader, and helped keep the Pet Food & Supply Pantry organized, clean, and easily accessible to those in great need.

As things have started to settle down at the Pet Food & Supply Pantry, Randy has also started volunteering in other areas at Butte Humane Society. He volunteers at dog adoptions, which gets our dogs out of the kennels and helps destress them with long walks around the area. 

Randy has been such a valued volunteer for special events. He assists at our biggest fundraiser of the year, The Anniversary Gala and helps us out with Bidwell Bark and many of our smaller fundraisers/community awareness projects.

Randy is an amazing example of true compassion, kindness and selflessness. He’s an outstanding volunteer, we couldn’t keep our doors open without people like Randy.

Sweet Success: Bo

Written by loving adopter, Brennan

Our new kitty is doing fantastic! He adjusted to his new home super fast and is fitting in as a wonderful addition to our family.

We did change the spelling of his name, so he’s Bo now. He doesn’t seem to mind. We felt it lends itself to more punny nicknames. El-Bo, little Bo peep, Bo-tie, and so on. Personality-wise, he’s very playful and rambunctious, but well behaved. He’s discovering the he can jump higher and farther as he’s growing, so we’re keeping an eye on items that we need to move further out of reach or put away. He doesn’t destroy anything though. He just wants to play with stuff.

We do have a small dog named Milkshake and they quickly took a liking to each other. They are the best of friends and really enjoy playing and snuggling. It’s really too cute. We do keep them separated when we’re not home, at least until he’s big enough to defend himself better if needed. There’s been no aggression from either one of them though, which is awesome.

We really haven’t had any challenges. He used his litter box immediately and he’s had a healthy appetite. He’s personable with my partner and me, and any guests we have over. He plays and cuddles with the best of them. He does have a desire to eat the dog’s food, so we have to put it out of his reach. He eats his own food just fine though too.
He’s also not quite learned what bed time is, so we’ve been putting him in the walk-in closet at night so he doesn’t attack our feet under the sheet. The closet is kind of his home base. Plenty of shelves for him to climb on. Soft piles of clothes and blankets to sleep. His litter box, food, and water also live in the closet so he always has access to those.
As far as the adoption process, you guys were fantastic. I’ve always loved butte humane, and will continue to support and recommend your organization forever. Thank you for all you do!
