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!
We hope you can join us on Saturday, July 18th for our Wine, Dine, and Whiskers 2026 FurBall!
Enjoy an evening of fun, food, and entertainment while helping raise vital funds to care for animals in need.
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

Chubb, the kind of cat you might overlook… until you meet him.
At first glance, Chubb may not be the flashiest cat in the room. He’s a classic tabby, and while the fluffy, exotic-looking cats often steal the spotlight, Chubb patiently waits in the background for someone to notice what makes him truly special.
And what makes him special?
Everything that matters.
Chubb is a 2 year old gentle soul with the sweetest, mild-mannered personality. He’s polite, calm, and quietly affectionate, the kind of companion who may not demand attention but absolutely melts into your hand when you stop to pet him.
He’s:
🐾 Great with kids
🐾 Good with other cats
🐾 Not a fan of dogs
🐾 Full of quiet love for the person willing to give him a chance
Chubb has been waiting over a month for someone to see past his ordinary tabby coat and notice the extraordinary cat underneath.
