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

Meet our longest stay cat, Beauty! With a personality as bold as her black and white coat, this sassy girl knows exactly what she wants: a cozy place to nap, plenty of wet food, and a home to call her own. With humans, Beauty is affectionate, will come sit next to you on the couch (when she feels like it, of course), and will never leave you guessing on how she feels. She would prefer to be your one and only, as she isn't really a fan of her other feline roomates here at the shelter.
If you’re looking for a confident companion who will always share her feelings and will always come running to the sound of a can being opened, then come by the Humane Society to consider rescuing Beauty from these other pesky cats! ... See MoreSee Less
