Whitman County Humane Society
Our Mission
The Whitman County Humane Society values the human-animal bond, provides stewardship for homeless pets, and promotes the compassionate treatment of all companion animals. We are dedicated to providing care, shelter, and placement for stray and homeless animals throughout our community.
Our History
Established on February 16, 2000, our organization was founded by community leaders to ensure humane care for local animals. Since July 2000, we have operated with a no-kill policy, ensuring that adoptable pets are never euthanized due to space constraints.
How We Help
Operating as a private, non-profit, limited-admission facility, we provide housing and medical care at our AnimalHaven campus. Our work extends beyond our walls to include vital community resources like our pet food bank, spay and neuter assistance programs, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives for community cats. By working closely with partners and community members, we strive to reduce overpopulation and support the well-being of animals across the county.
Your Partner in Adoption
We believe in creating thoughtful, positive matches that set both the adopter and the animal up for long-term success. Our dedicated team works closely with you to understand your needs and lifestyle, ensuring that every adoption is a joyful partnership. We encourage open communication throughout the process to ensure that your new family member truly feels at home.
Join Our Mission
Whether you are looking to adopt your new best friend, volunteer your time, or provide a loving foster home, there are many ways to get involved. Please browse our currently adoptable animals online, or visit our shelter in Pullman during our open hours to meet the pets waiting for their forever families. We look forward to welcoming you to the WCHS community!

10/17 - Meet Tumbleweed! 💙 Tumbleweed is a young girl with the quiet wisdom of a much older soul. She was deeply frightened when she first arrived, often pressing herself into the farthest corner of any room as if to simply vanish from view. Weeks of patient work have brought real change. Tumbleweed is beginning to trust. She has a small circle of people friends here at the shelter, too. New people earn their place in her life slowly, through repeated gentle visits (and a little bit of luck). Once you’re inside that circle, you’re solidly in. What waits on the other side of her caution is pure sweetness. She becomes a goofy, joyful little shadow who will race in delighted circles around her kennel, then plant herself right against your side to keep quiet watch. She’s also developed an endearing habit of gathering treats and toys and tucking them away in secret spots — her own private treasures. ✨ Because she is still a flight risk, her forever home will need to be secure and thoughtfully managed until she fully understands she is safe. We are so proud of how far she has already come, and we can’t wait for the person who will earn her complete trust and gain the most devoted best friend and shadow in return. You can learn even more about Tumbleweed at www.whitmanpets.org/adopt 🐾
