Humane Society of Scott County
A Legacy of Compassion
The Humane Society of Scott County is dedicated to helping animals in need by providing shelter, adoption services, and vital support resources with care and compassion. We believe that when pets and people thrive together, our entire community benefits.
Serving Our Community Since 1902
For over a century, we have served as a cornerstone of our community, making it a better place for both people and pets. While our mission has evolved to meet changing needs, we remain unwavering advocates for those who cannot help themselves, regardless of age, health, breed, or behavior.
Our Lifesaving Care Model
As a private, 501c3 non-profit organization, we provide a safe haven for animals while they wait for their forever homes. Beyond traditional sheltering, we rely on a dedicated network of foster homes for neonates, behavioral rehabilitation, recovery, and hospice care. We also support the community through low-cost vaccine and microchip clinics, a free pet food pantry, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives to help keep pets with the people who love them.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our team is here to help you find a companion that is a great fit for your home and lifestyle. We encourage family members to meet our adoptable pets in person, including a required meet and greet for current dogs, to ensure a happy transition for everyone involved. Our counselors are here to answer your questions and provide support long after you take your new friend home through our post-adoption resource series.
Join Us in Saving Lives
You can make a difference today by opening your heart to a new companion or supporting our lifesaving work. We invite you to browse our available pets online or visit us at our Davenport location to meet your future best friend in person. Together, we can give every adoptable pet the second chance they deserve.
