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.

💛 HAPPY ENDING: LUCY! 💛
When Lucy (formerly Melinda) first came to us, she was a nervous little dog who needed another dog to help show her the ropes. Then, last October, she met her family—and what was supposed to be a foster turned into a very fast foster-fail! 🥹🐾
With their older dog, Charlie, by her side, Lucy quickly found her confidence. Now, she loves perching on top of the couch to keep watch over the backyard, racing outside to chase away squirrels and bunnies, and charming everyone she meets on neighborhood walks. (Apparently, she’s also the biggest treat mooch you’ve ever seen!)
And she has become a very important part of the family. Her college brothers were even sadder to leave Lucy behind than anyone else—and now they FaceTime her regularly.
Her family says it best:
“I am so thankful to have this little dog in my life! Thank you Humane Society of Delaware County for my daughter!”
Lucy, we are so happy you found your family! We love seeing the nervous dogs who come through our doors blossom into confident, happy companions.
Congratulations, Lucy! You are home. 🏡💛 ...
