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!
Thank You to Our Fur Ball Gala Sponsors!

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
They say that when you adopt or foster, you are saving a life. And while that is true, if you ask anyone who has opened their home to a shelter pet, they’ll tell you a secret: The animal usually saves them right back. ❤️
When you bring a foster or adoptive pet into your family, you aren't just giving them a bed; you are filling a void in your own life. You’re trading silence for the sound of happy paws. You’re trading loneliness for a companion who loves you unconditionally, regardless of the kind of day you’ve had.
Whether you’re looking to add a permanent member to your family or just want to provide a temporary "soft landing" as a foster, there is a heart here at HSDC waiting to beat in sync with yours. 🐾

Maisy moves through the world like everything is something to look forward to.
Morning light.
Leashes by the door.
A toy on the floor.
Your voice calling her name.
To her, it all feels important.
She runs like joy is chasing her. She plays like every game matters. She carries her toys like little trophies and treats each one like it holds a story. When her body finally asks for rest, her heart argues back, and sometimes she falls asleep standing, just to stay close to you a little longer.
Maisy doesn’t love halfway.
When she chooses you, she chooses you completely.
She’ll trail behind you like a quiet promise. Settle beside you without being asked. Press her head into your side like she’s reminding herself you’re real. Her loyalty isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s constant. It’s there every single day.
She’s thoughtful. She watches. She learns. She tries. With gentle guidance and a few good treats, she’s happy to grow right alongside you. She enjoys knowing the rules of her little world and being proud of herself for following them.
Maisy is equal parts playful and tender. Goofy and graceful. Curious and comforting.
She’s the kind of dog who slowly becomes woven into your life. Into your routines. Into your mornings and evenings and everything in between.
Not just a pet.
Not just a companion.
A presence.
A heartbeat.
A home with four legs.
Maisy is ready to give her whole story to someone who will treasure it.
Maybe that someone is you.
