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.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
The need is great. And so is this community. ❤️
Our CEO, Amanda Wampler recently reflected on her first 90 days at the Humane Society of Delaware County—and what those first few months have shown her about our organization, the challenges ahead, and the incredible community that makes this work possible.
HSDC is doing a lot with limited resources, while working to build a stronger foundation for the future. We need foster families, volunteers, donors, businesses, foundations, community leaders and others willing to show up alongside us.
Because being a great hometown is about how we show up for one another—and that includes the animals who depend on us. 🐾

🐾 Local Businesses, Big Hearts! 🐾
We are so grateful to two local businesses for opening their doors to HSDC cats and helping us find them forever homes!
A huge thank you to Pet Supplies Plus at 860 Sunbury Rd and State Farm – Adam Bibb at 225 S. Sandusky Street for partnering with us to foster cats at their locations. 🐱
By welcoming shelter cats into their businesses, these teams are giving them something incredibly valuable: more time, more attention, and more opportunities to meet the people who might become their forever families.
And that's what makes partnerships like these so special. They're not just helping animals get adopted — they're showing what it looks like when local businesses step up and support animal rescue in their community.
If you're looking for a way to support local businesses, we hope you'll consider stopping by and showing some love to these two wonderful partners!
And while you're there… keep an eye out for our adoptable kitties! You just might meet your new best friend. 🐾
Thank you, Pet Supplies Plus and Adam Bibb State Farm, for being such wonderful friends to HSDC and our animals! ❤️ ...

🚨🐾 WE NEED POULTRY-FREE DOG FOOD! 🐾🚨
We have dogs in our care who are allergic to poultry-based foods, and right now, we have ZERO poultry-free dry dog food at the shelter.
If you’re able to help, we would be incredibly grateful for a donation of poultry-free dry dog food today. Even one bag can make a difference for the dogs who need it. ❤️
