🐍🐾 Rattlesnakes and Dogs: Not the Kind of Friendship We Recommend! 🐾🐍

Living in Mendocino County means sharing our beautiful outdoor spaces with wildlife—including rattlesnakes. While we can't remove every snake from the trails, we can help our dogs learn to avoid them.

Join us for a FREE Rattlesnake Avoidance Training Workshop hosted by HSIMC and Free Dog Trainers!

📅 June 28, 2026
🕐 1:00 PM
📍 Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County
9700 Uva Drive, Redwood Valley

This is a drop-in educational workshop open to the public, no registration required.

Tag a dog-loving friend, share with your hiking buddies, and help us spread the word. Because the best snake encounter is the one your dog chooses to walk away from. 🐕➡️🐍

If you’re feeling exhausted with, “please help save these dogs in shelters,” because it feels never-ending, let’s support community-based programs that keep dogs OUT of shelters!

Looking for an LGBT+ owned nonprofit to support this Pride month? keeps dogs out of shelters by providing support from qualified professionals to everyone. We do it for free because we believe every dog deserves to be understood, regardless of how much money their owner makes. Support Free Dog Trainers in challenging the idea that only the wealthy can afford to have the unconditional love of a dog.

Hey folks, our friends at Free Dog Trainers have agreed to put on a rattlesnake training session at Clearlake Animal Association in Clearlake.

You can attend with or without a dog. There is no cost for attendance but donations are welcome. I’ll post reminders and additional relevant information as we get closer but mark your calendars.

Come stop by the Humane Society of Inland Mendocino County this Sunday and talk to us about your dog!

Our goal is to get behavior support out into the community where it’s needed!
