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

A huge shoutout to Mia and Delaware County Master Gardeners Association for their Community Partnership.
Mia reached out this spring wanting to help HSDC beautify the front entryway. Well, they did exactly that! Not only did DCMGA plan the plants for the garden and provide a layout, but Mia came out on planting day to help ensure proper spacing and depths for plants were being followed. The new garden is made up of all Ohio native perennials, so we just need to maintain it now. An added bonus was a few vegetables were planted in our raised garden for the guinea pigs. Now they'll have fresh veggies straight from our garden.
Thank you to our Volunteers Tracy and Brenda for coming out to plant with Mia. You all did a great job, and we can't wait to see the results from your labor.
Mia and DCMGA we look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you again for your support, sharing your knowledge, and your love of plants. ... See MoreSee Less
