Caring for those who care for animals
The Humane Society of Sonoma County strives to support those who care for animals. We’ve created our virtual ‘library’ as a resource for topics ranging from feeding, grooming, training, resolution of common behavior issues and tips for getting off to a great start with your newest family member. If there is something you don’t see and would like to, please contact us and we’ll see what we can do!
