The Humane Society of Sonoma County is dedicated to transforming animal welfare through prevention, community veterinary care, innovative sheltering, and education. We believe in building a thriving community that celebrates the profound bond between animals and their people.
Since our founding in 1931, we have served as a donor-supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Because we do not receive federal or state funding, our life-saving work is made possible entirely through the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of our community.
We provide a compassionate, safe haven for animals at our two campuses in Santa Rosa and Healdsburg. By maintaining a clean, comfortable shelter environment and offering accessible veterinary services, we ensure that every animal in our care receives the respect, health support, and kindness they deserve while awaiting their forever homes.
Adoption is a joyful journey, and our goal is to help you find the companion who is the best fit for your unique lifestyle. Our adoption counselors use a thoughtful, conversational approach to review the medical and behavioral needs of our pets, ensuring a harmonious transition for both you and your new family member. We are here to support you in creating a lasting, loving partnership.
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our available animals online or visit our Healdsburg campus to experience our work firsthand. Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission, we look forward to welcoming you into the Humane Society of Sonoma County family.
