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!
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
Sol has been waiting for his forever home since June 4, 2026, and we think it's time this goofy lovebug got his chance!
This big guy has plenty of personality, lots of zoomies to share, and a serious appreciation for cozy lap time and a good brushing. What Sol needs most is a calm, low-stress home where he can settle in, feel comfortable, and be himself.
Sol has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a condition that will need lifelong management. He is on a special urinary care diet and will need a home committed to monitoring his health and keeping his environment as stress-free as possible. Plenty of toys, fresh water fountains, and a peaceful place to call his own will help him thrive.
If you have a laid-back home and room for one very lovable, slightly goofy guy, please consider giving Sol the forever home he's been waiting for.
Come meet Sol at HSDC!

Happy National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!
We want to make sure our staff feels celebrated ALL WEEK LONG, and we need your help! On Thursday, November 5, we’ll close to the public for a special Staff Appreciation Day, but we’d love to make the entire week special!
Here’s how you can help:
• Donate: Gift cards, door prizes, or small treats.
• Help Us Add a Picnic Table!: We’d love to have a picnic table where staff and volunteers can enjoy some fresh air and a place to sit during breaks—not just on Staff Appreciation Day, but all year long!
• Adopt a Day: Sponsor breakfast, lunch, coffee, or treats for our team.
• Share Your Thanks: Send a handwritten note or share how a staff member has made a difference for you or your pet. We’d love for every employee to receive a personal message!
• Get Creative: Have another idea? We’d love to hear it!
Let’s come together and take care of them!

28 adoptions, 28 new beginnings!
We had an incredible week at HSDC as 28 amazing animals headed off to start their next chapters with loving families. From the big dogs to the little cats, each one has a forever home to call their own.
Help us congratulate this week's newest HSDC alumni and their families!
