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
Meet Babyboy! Don’t let the name fool you, this sweet guy is growing into a handsome young cat with a heart full of love just waiting to be discovered. At just over a year old, Babyboy has spent a little too long at the shelter, and he’s more than ready to find a quiet, loving home of his own.
Babyboy is on the shy side at first, but with a little patience and kindness, he truly blossoms. Once he feels safe, you’ll see his gentle, affectionate personality shine through. He absolutely adores other cats and would do wonderfully in a home with a feline friend to help him feel more confident.
One of Babyboy’s most charming features? His adorable little goatee! It gives him a permanently distinguished look like a tiny gentleman just waiting for his chance to steal your heart.
Babyboy would thrive in a calm home with patient people who understand that the best relationships take a little time. If you’re willing to go at his pace, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion who will be so grateful to finally have a place to call home.
If you think you could give Babyboy a home come visit him at the shelter today! ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Davina 💛
Davina is a sweet Lab mix with the softest heart and a gentle soul. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, so don’t expect her to come in like she owns the place right away. She’s more of a “quietly observing from across the room” kind of girl at first. But give her a little patience and kindness? She blooms.
Once Davina feels safe, she turns into an affectionate, loving companion who absolutely lives for attention. Pets? Yes. More pets? Also yes. She’s the type to lean into you like she’s trying to merge souls.
She’s already housebroken (we love a respectful queen), and she’s currently working on crate training and learning her basics like come, sit, and stay. Davina is a smart girl who genuinely wants to learn, she just needs someone willing to guide her and hype her up a little along the way.
Davina would do best in a home with another friendly dog, as having a canine buddy helps her feel more confident and secure. Think of it as emotional support bestie energy.
If you’re the kind of person who understands that the best bonds take a little time, Davina will reward you with loyalty, love, and a level of devotion that’s honestly a little unmatched.
✨ Shy girl starter pack
✨ Certified cuddle enthusiast (once approved)
✨ Looking for her safe place and her person
If you’re ready to give Davina the patience she deserves, she’s ready to give you her whole heart.

🐾 30,000 lbs of love delivered in 2025! 🐾
Thanks to our amazing supporters, volunteers, and community partners, the Humane Society of Delaware County provided over 30,000 pounds of nutritious food to pets whose families needed a helping paw. That’s the same weight as five adult hippos, a massive mountain of compassion!
👉 Every bag, every scoop, and every wagging tail reminds us why we do what we do.
How you can keep the momentum going:
• Donate – Even a $10 contribution helps us refill another bag.
• Volunteer – Join our group of dedicated volunteers who make a difference every day.
• Spread the word – Share this post and tag a fellow animal‑lover.
🙏 From the bottom of our hearts (and the bottom of every food bowl), thank you, Delaware County! Together we’re turning hunger into hope, one paw at a time.
