"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that has." --Margaret Mead

The mission of Contra Costa Humane Society is to empower our community to improve the quality of life for animals and decrease euthanasia rates. Through our programs and services we connect with individuals and private and public organizations to adopt pets, reduce the number of unwanted animals, and educate the public to foster compassion, responsibility, and respect toward animals.
