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

🐾 Max has been waiting for his forever home for far too long, and we can't understand why! This amazing boy has captured the hearts of everyone who has met him, especially his foster mom.
Just see what she has to say:
"Every day Max discovers something new about being a dog. And every day I discover something new about resilience."
Since coming into foster care, Max has learned that toys are fun, naps are wonderful, and people can be trusted. He loves exploring the neighborhood on walks, picking out his favorite toy each morning, and soaking up all the love he can get.
Max may be blind, but he doesn't let that slow him down. What he needs now is a family to show him that this new normal can be forever.
