Antietam Humane Society Inc.

Our Mission

The Antietam Humane Society is dedicated to promoting the well-being of animals and our community through education, compassionate care, adoption, and outreach. We believe in working together to save lives and keep pets and their families together.

Our Commitment to Care

As a privately funded organization serving Southern Franklin County, Pennsylvania, we rely entirely on the generosity of our supporters to provide a safe haven for those in need. We operate with a no-kill philosophy, striving to maintain a save-rate of over 90% by prioritizing the health and temperament of every animal in our care. Our team is committed to excellence, honesty, and compassion, treating every animal and caretaker with the respect they deserve.

How We Help

We believe in managing our resources effectively to provide the best outcomes for our animals. By utilizing a managed intake system, we are able to provide specialized care for stray dogs and sick or injured animals while offering safety net programs like pet food banks and low-cost spay/neuter services. We also proudly support community cat populations through our Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) and Return-to-Field (RTF) initiatives.

Finding Your Perfect Match

Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find a friend who fits your lifestyle. Our knowledgeable staff focuses on each animal's unique personality and background rather than labels, ensuring that every transition is a positive experience for both the pet and the adopter. We take the time to understand your needs, schedule, and activity level to ensure a lifelong bond is formed.
