The Humane Society of Delaware County is not your average animal shelter. Our Mission –

We strive to provide the best care, treatment and placement of animals in need.

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!

ARF! The Animal Resource Facility

Making Our Best Hometown Even Better

For our community, neighbors and pets

We’re launching a capital campaign to build the future of animal welfare in Delaware County! ARF (Animal Resource Facility) will be a 22,000 sq. ft. hub for adoption, veterinary care, training, boarding, and grooming—uniting the Humane Society of Delaware County with private businesses to support pets and their families.

We have just a few months to raise $1.8 million, and we need your help! Join us in making this vision a reality. Click below to learn more and get involved!

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.
