CCHS is a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization that serves Contra Costa County animals and the people who love them. We are an individual organization and not related to any other humane society, SPCA, rescue group, county shelter or government agency. Similarly, We are not a branch of the Humane Society of the United States nor do we receive any funding from the government. Our funding is generated from private and corporate donations as well as grants.
The only free-roaming shelter in Contra Costa County.
We could not do what we do without the help of wonderful volunteers. Learn More about Volunteer Opportunities.
