Butte Humane Society

Meet Hooch, a happy young fellow who seeks a spot as the only dog in a loving home.

A smart guy who loves practicing his obedience skills (especially if treats are involved), this handsome pit mix has lots of energy, so he prefers a home where he can get plenty of play time and exercise. Thanks to his energy levels, he's a bit overwhelming for small children, but gets along beautifully with bigger humans. In fact, during his stay at Butte Humane Society, he's become such a favorite that a kind soul has already paid his adoption fee to make it easier for handsome Hooch to go home with his new person. more »

This annual event is the largest pet-friendly community event in Butte County and surrounding areas, and all proceeds will benefit Butte Humane Society (BHS). more »

Since 1911, Chico's Butte Humane Society, one of the county's oldest nonprofit agencies, has been coming to the aid of animals in need, helping the lost and abandoned find new homes, and also helping prevent future problems through public education and promotion of compassion and responsible stewardship. Recently BHS opened a low-cost spay and neuter clinic to help the local community combat the problem of pet overpopulation.   more »
