A year and 2 months ago, My Fiancé at the time and I had just moved into our new apartment, we decided that it would be perfect for us to get a friend from the Contra Costa Humane Society. This is where we met Mocha, My Now wife and I fell in love from the moment we saw him….
We adopted 3 cats from CCHS a little over a year ago. We fell in love with the beautiful Lily, the lovable goof Bam Bam (formerly Jackson) and the fat loaf of a cat Lola. Lily (the birman) had just gotten over scabies and huge weight loss when we first got her but now she is a healthy fluffy…
I adopted Duke (was Davey) in August 2013 and we have been attached at the hip ever since. He is a very easy-going, mild tempered boy with a very big, goofy heart. He can’t control his tail or his licker and loves everyone he meets. I have found that we can’t have any soft toys or kongs because he…
Hi! My name is Hildy, but the wonderful ladies at the Contra Costa Humane Society knew me as Sophie. I came to them in August, after trying out two other homes. I can be a little temperamental sometimes, and I was starting to think maybe I would never find my forever home. That was okay, though. The women at…
We adopted Willow in 2012 she had been your longest resident at the time. It took her a while to warm up to us but she has blossomed since we first brought her home. She use to hide from us the first few days we took her home once we couldn’t find her and after several minutes of looking…

Frankie came to my home in May 2014. He is super happy to be able to run and play in his new fenced yard! Every day he brings me happiness and laughter and we give a shout out (and a bark) of thanks to everyone involved in helping Frankie find me!
Without a doubt I know that my new kitten was a gift from God. God knew that Danny and I needed each other. I had recently lost my cat and companion of 13 years, Dexter. He had Cancer and I had to say goodbye. It was one the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My friend Mary is…
We are so happy to have brought home our newest family member, Rory! Her foster mom, Melissa, was so wonderful and made the experience of adopting easier and that much better. We had been looking for a pup for some time, when one day we stumbled upon a photo of Rory at the contra costa humane society, took one…
We adopted Joe a few months ago. He was dropped at the shelter with no history, and his age was estimated to be ‘at least’ 13 years. He has a definite hitch in his gait, which appeared to be getting a bit worse, so we took him to the vet to see if arthritis meds would help. Turns out…
