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.
- 11,100+ lives saved since 2019

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Our Seniors for Seniors program is designed to bring comfort and companionship to both senior pets and senior people. Older animals are often overlooked in shelters, but they have so much love left to give.
Through this program, we help match senior pets with senior adopters, creating meaningful connections filled with calm companionship, loyalty, and unconditional love.
Senior pets are often:
🐾 Already house-trained
🐾 Past the high-energy puppy/kitten stage
🐾 Grateful for a quiet, loving home
If you or someone you know could benefit from a steady, loving companion, we would love to help make the match.
Because the golden years should be shared. 💛

🚨 Important Update 🚨
The animals our humane agents helped rescue from heartbreaking conditions will be up for adoption soon.
10TV - WBNS reported yesterday that the two people charged in the case agreed to surrender the nearly two dozen animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, and chickens. This is an important step in the legal process, now allowing us to provide additional care, place the animals in foster homes, and prepare them for eventual adoption.
This process is costly. As a non-profit with no public funding, donations are essential to providing the best care to animals in these situations.

When the animals are available for adoption, they will be posted on our adoption page:
