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!
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
- 1,906 adoptions in 2024
- 2,180 foster placements in 2024
ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Happy Ending: Toto → Chestnut 🌰🐾
Toto is now Chestnut, and he’s clearly loving life with his new family! 🥰 We’re so happy to see this sweet boy settling in and getting all the love he deserves.
His family shared, “We love him to pieces! We had a great experience when we fostered animals from HSDC and ended up adopting Chestnut that way.” ❤️
And they didn’t stop there! They recently held a garage sale where everything was “free” and instead asked people to make a donation to HSDC. Together, they raised an incredible $145 for the animals in our care! 🐾 Some people even donated without taking anything in return. How amazing is that?
Thank you for giving Chestnut such a loving home — and for giving back to the animals who are still waiting for theirs. We’re so happy you’re part of the HSDC family! ❤️
🌰 Happy life, Chestnut! We’re so glad you found your people! ... See MoreSee Less
