Meet Your New Best Friend!
Every animal available for adoption at The Humane Society of Delaware County is special and deserves love, but these pets need special people, and we hope it’s you!
We hope you can join us on Saturday, July 18th for our Wine, Dine, and Whiskers 2026 FurBall!
Enjoy an evening of fun, food, and entertainment while helping raise vital funds to care for animals in need.
Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
When we say that animal rescue saves lives, we don't just mean the animals.
This beautiful feature by 10TV - WBNS highlights Navy veteran Jim Webb and his rescue dog, Lucky. After years of isolation following his military service, Jim found himself in his darkest moments until he was matched with Lucky through the incredible Delaware County nonprofit, Veteran Companion Animal Services (VCAS).
At the Humane Society of Delaware County, we are immensely proud to be a shelter partner for VCAS. Providing the dogs that go on to become literal lifelines for local veterans is some of the most rewarding work we do.
As VCAS President Joshua Doran says, therapy and medication help, but a dog is there 24/7 to provide unwavering support.
Grab a tissue and watch this incredible reminder of the power of the human-animal bond. 👇
