Washington Area Humane Society
Our Mission
The Washington Area Humane Society exists to provide shelter, safety, and care for the abandoned and abused animals of Washington County with the ultimate goal of placing them in forever homes. We believe that every animal deserves a valued life and a loving family.
A Legacy of Compassion
Since our incorporation in 1906, we have served as a dedicated advocate for the voiceless in Washington County. For over a century, we have remained committed to being a present, ongoing resource for our community, working to improve the lives of pets through education, advocacy, and professional care.
How We Care
We operate a 10,000-square-foot facility in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, where we provide life-saving care to nearly 650 pets each year. Our dedicated team manages a comprehensive range of services, including spay/neuter surgeries, a pet food bank, and foster programs, ensuring every animal receives the attention they need before finding their new family. As a 100% privately funded organization, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to maintain our commitment to the animals in our care.
Your Partner in Adoption
Choosing to adopt is a beautiful, life-changing journey, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion. We prioritize thoughtful matching to ensure that both you and your new pet are set up for a lifetime of happiness. Whether you are looking for a playful friend or a calm companion, we invite you to join us in making a difference.
