Spokane Humane Society

Our Mission

Spokane Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of companion animals through Support, Education, Advocacy, and Love. Since 1897, we have served our community by providing wellness, medical care, shelter, and placement into loving homes for animals in need.

Our History and Promise

For over a century, we have served as a refuge for tens of thousands of lost, neglected, and unwanted animals. We are proud to maintain a no-kill ethic, ensuring that healthy, adoptable, and treatable animals are not euthanized due to a lack of space or resources.

How We Help

Our care model is powered by our dedicated staff and a massive network of over 1,000 volunteers who provide essential enrichment, foster care, and community outreach. In addition to our shelter, we operate a low-income veterinary clinic and a community pet food pantry to keep pets healthy and with the families who love them.

The Adopter Connection

Finding a new companion is a life-changing experience, and we are committed to making that bond a success. By spending time at our shelters and meeting our animals, you can find the perfect pet who makes every day a little brighter for you and your family.

Visit Us Today

We invite you to find your new best friend by exploring our adoptable animals online or visiting our Main Campus or our Everyday Adoption Center at Northpointe PetSmart. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer, or donate, your support helps us continue our mission of compassion. Come visit us and see how you can make a difference today!
