Humane Society of Skagit Valley
A Second Chance for Every Pet
At the Humane Society of Skagit Valley, we believe that every animal deserves a chance to thrive. Our mission is to provide compassionate care and find loving homes for the abandoned, neglected, and surrendered animals throughout our community.
Our History and Our Mission
Since 1974, we have served Skagit County with an unwavering dedication to animal welfare. As an open-admission shelter, we are proud to say we have never turned an animal away, ensuring that every life is treated with the care and respect it deserves.
Providing Compassionate Care
We operate a physical shelter located in Burlington, where our dedicated team provides medical care, wellness assessments, and enrichment for our animals. Beyond our facility, we are supported by a network of fosters and community partners who help us prepare pets for their permanent families. We are deeply committed to maintaining a no-kill philosophy in practice, focusing on the individual needs of every pet in our care.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we strive to make the process as supportive as possible. Whether you are looking for an indoor companion or a working cat through our Barn Buddy program, our team is here to provide guidance and ensure a lifetime placement. We believe in strengthening the bond between people and pets, helping you find a best friend who fits your home and lifestyle.
