The Humane Society of Sonoma County is dedicated to transforming animal welfare through prevention, community veterinary care, innovative sheltering, and education. We are committed to fostering a thriving community that celebrates the deep, life-affirming bond between animals and their people.
As a locally founded, donor-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we have served as a compassionate safe haven for animals for over nine decades. We receive no federal or state funding, relying instead on the generosity of our community to provide essential protection, care, and love to every animal that comes through our doors.
Our work goes far beyond sheltering. We act as a vital resource hub for our community, offering subsidized veterinary care, a pet food pantry, and behavior support services that help keep families and their beloved pets together. By addressing both the immediate needs of homeless animals and the long-term needs of pet guardians, we work to ensure that all animals are safe, healthy, and cherished.
Adoption is a joyful beginning, and our team is here to help you find your perfect, life-long companion. We utilize a personalized, conversational matchmaking process to ensure that the unique medical and behavioral needs of our animals align seamlessly with your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a new best friend or exploring our programs for the first time, we are honored to walk this path with you.
We invite you to experience the warmth of our community firsthand. Please visit our Healdsburg Campus during our adoption hours to meet our available animals, or explore our website to discover the many ways you can get involved, volunteer, or support our life-saving work. Together, we can continue to make Sonoma County a place where every animal is treated with dignity and compassion.
