Hinsdale Humane Society
Our Mission
Hinsdale Humane Society is dedicated to transforming the lives of animals and the people who care for them. We strive to create a world where every animal experiences compassion and respect, free from suffering and neglect.
Our History
Our story began in 1953 when six dedicated women came together to improve the conditions for local animals. Since those early days, we have remained committed to our founders' vision of providing a safe, sanitary, and compassionate environment for pets in need.
How We Care
Today, we operate from the state-of-the-art Tuthill Family Pet Rescue & Resource Center. This facility serves as a hub for our comprehensive care services, including vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and specialized medical support for animals with unique needs.
Your Journey to Adoption
Adopting is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find your next best friend. We believe in building strong human-animal bonds and provide support through every step of the process, from initial meetings to ongoing resources. Whether you are looking for a dog, cat, or critter, our team is ready to guide you toward a successful, lifelong match.
Join the HHS Family
We invite you to experience the impact of our work firsthand. Explore our available animals, learn more about our foster and volunteer programs, or visit us at our Hinsdale location to meet your new companion today. Together, we can champion the compassionate treatment of every animal in our care and beyond.

10/8 - TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY TO KEEP SAYING YES. When we first met Apricot, she was severely underweight, missing her fur, and desperately needing someone to see her. We couldn’t bring her back to HHS that day, but we couldn’t forget her either. So we found a way to say yes. ❤️ With medical care, a loving foster home, and time to heal, Apricot got her second chance. Today, she’s happy, healthy, and home with someone who loves everything that makes her Apricot. This is what your support makes possible. And with today being the FINAL DAY of our $50,000 matching campaign, you have one last chance to double your impact. Every dollar donated is matched, dollar for dollar, helping us keep saying yes. Because somewhere, there’s another Apricot waiting for her chance. ❤️ 🐾 Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.

10/7 - ⏳ 1 DAY LEFT TO KEEP SAYING YES. Three weeks ago, we brought 14 dogs and 9 cats back to HHS from CACC. You saw them arrive. Now, look how far they’ve come. ❤️ Indigo can see fully again and is waiting for her forever home in foster. Schnitzel has been adopted. And of the five dogs found tied to a fence outside CACC, four are now home and one is safe in foster. This is what saying “yes” makes possible. And with just ONE DAY LEFT, you can help us keep creating happy endings like these. Every dollar donated is matched, dollar for dollar. ❤️ Help us keep saying yes. 🐾 Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.

10/6 - ⏳ 2 DAYS LEFT TO KEEP SAYING YES. When Lightning came to HHS after being hit by a car, we couldn’t promise what her future would look like. We could only promise that we would give her a chance. ❤️ She had suffered head trauma and two badly injured legs. But we weren’t ready to give up on her - and neither was Lightning. Just two days later, she was cuddling, purring and eating like nothing could stop her. Today, she’s still healing with our team, playing and learning that she is safe. We don’t need to know the ending to believe an animal deserves the chance to have one. With just 2 days left, every dollar donated is matched, dollar for dollar. This is what your “yes” makes possible. ❤️ Help us keep saying yes. 🐾 Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.

10/5 - ⏳ 3 DAYS LEFT TO KEEP SAYING YES. Chowder came to HHS as a police stray. Today, he’s changing lives. ❤️ When Chowder came through our doors, we couldn’t have known where his story would lead. But we said yes. Our team saw his potential, and with the right match, that potential became something pretty incredible. Today, Chowder has a loving home and a whole new purpose as a TheraPaws dog alongside his adopter, Mike. Together, they bring comfort, connection and joy to people throughout our community. That’s what saying yes can do. It can change one animal’s life - and sometimes, that impact reaches far beyond our doors. With just 3 days left, every dollar donated is matched, dollar for dollar, helping us keep saying yes to whoever comes through our doors next. 🐾 Help us keep saying yes. ❤️ Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.

10/3 - ⏳ 5 DAYS LEFT TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. Sometimes saying yes is only the beginning. ❤️ Once an animal comes through our doors, our commitment doesn’t stop at giving them a safe place to land. It means finding the answers, providing the care, and giving them the time they need to heal. Goose and Lyla needed very different things from us. But today, they have something in common: They both went home. 🥹❤️ Every dollar donated is matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Help us keep saying yes so more animals can get there, too.

9/26 - ⏳ 12 DAYS LEFT TO DOUBLE THE HOPE. When Mona Lisa came to HHS, she needed more than a safe place to land. She needed medical care, behavioral support, patience - and time. ❤️ For eight months, our team worked alongside her through the hard days and the tiny wins. Because saying yes means meeting every animal where they are and giving them what they need to move forward. Today, Mona Lisa is thriving in her home - even happily living with another dog. 🥹 Right now, every dollar donated is matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Your support gives us the ability to keep saying yes, even when an animal needs more. Help us keep saying yes - for as long as it takes. ❤️ Donate today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.

9/22 - ⏳ 16 DAYS LEFT TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. They weren’t expected. They weren’t planned for. But when they needed somewhere to go, HHS was here. ❤️ Kittens left in a plastic bin. Brownie outside our doors. Milk Crate hidden beside our building. A guinea pig found dangerously cold in the middle of winter. Different animals. Different circumstances. The same answer from us: yes. Because we don’t always know who will need us next. Your support gives us the resources to provide the medical care, food, warmth, safety and time these animals need when they arrive. Right now, every dollar donated is matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Help us be ready for whoever needs us next. 🐾 Donate today: secure.qgiv.com/for/2gytub/ or through the link in our bio.
