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
ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week, and we’re feeling incredibly grateful 💙🐾
Our amazing team of volunteers makes everything we do possible. We truly couldn’t do this work without them. From caring for animals to supporting events and everything in between, their dedication means the world to us.
All week long, we’ll be sharing some of their stories… stay tuned, show them some love, and help us celebrate the people behind the scenes making a difference every single day.
Today we’d like to highlight Kelley and her family.
THANK YOU KELLEY AND FAMILY!!
“We chose to start fostering dogs for HSDC back in 2022 for one of our kids birthdays as a way to honor something they love. We quickly came to appreciate the caring, ethical, and authentic culture of HSDC and wanted to become more involved which led us to volunteering. Over the last four years we’ve enjoyed volunteering at on the go events, website photography, kennel assistance, dog walking, the Grinch and Easter Bunny events, gala fundraising, and continue to foster. We really appreciate that it’s an opportunity for us to engage in volunteering as a family!
Thanks!

Say hello to the polite and petite Pig!
She doesn't meow much, but she has plenty of love to give. Pig was brought into the shelter along with her daughter Pixie as an owner surrender. Unfortunately, their previous family was no longer able to care for them. From the beginning, she was always very sweet. As she has gotten more comfortable, she'll roam around the room and come up to those who visit, in search of attention. Pig gets along well with the other cats in the room, even grooming her cat friends to show her affection towards them! If she were adopted into a home with another cat, she wouldn't mind, and it probably wouldn't take her long to become friends with them. According to her previous owner, Pig did very well with the dog in the home. They were described as being best friends and that Pig really loved the dog! The owner also praised Pig for getting along well with children, being loving towards them too. Pig really is just the sweetest and loving little kitty! Come by the Humane Society to meet Pig! ...

Our 2026 Fur Ball is more than just a night of celebration; it’s the engine that powers our life-saving work at the Humane Society of Delaware County. Today, we’re inviting our local business community to take center stage.
We have officially released our five Sponsorship Tiers, ranging from our premier Title Sponsor to our vital Pet Lover level. Whether you’re a large corporation or a local small business, there is a way for you to make a tangible difference.
When you sponsor the Fur Ball, you provide:
✅ Critical medical care for incoming rescues.
✅ Nourishing food and a safe place to sleep.
✅ The "Save the Date" for animals waiting for their forever homes.
✅ Highlights your organization’s commitment to supporting animals in need.
