Humane Society of Sonoma County

The new shelter, finished in 2004, offers the animals a roomy and comfortable environment. Couple this with the dedication of the volunteers who come in 365 days a year to walk dogs and cuddle cats, and you have animals who are a lot less stressed.

The Shelter now has a full service medical clinic that is staffed with incredibly kind and knowledgeable vets and technicians.

Pros: Lots of great habitats for animals

Cons: Building not energy efficient
