Wenatchee Valley Humane Society
Helping Pets and People Together
Our mission is to build a safer, more supportive community for pets and people. We strive to provide shelter, adoption services, and compassionate care for those who need us most.
Our History
Founded in 1967, the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society began with a simple dream: to give homeless animals hope and a home. Today, we have evolved from a shelter into a comprehensive community resource center focused on protection, prevention, and keeping families together.
Our Approach to Care
We are a locally operated, independent nonprofit that treats every animal as an individual. From full-spectrum veterinary care and enrichment programs to our dedicated foster network, we work to ensure every pet is ready for their next chapter. Our team follows the Asilomar Accords, ensuring that we only consider end-of-life decisions for animals suffering from untreatable conditions or serious safety risks.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe in an open, conversation-based adoption process that matches the personalities of our animals with the lifestyles of our adopters. This approach embraces all community members and fosters a successful, lifelong partnership between pets and their new families. By choosing to adopt, you are helping us create a more compassionate future for the animals who need us most.
Get Involved
Whether you are looking to find a new furry family member, volunteer your time, or support our efforts, we invite you to join us. You can explore our all adoptable animals online or visit us at our shelter to meet your new best friend. Together, we can turn hope into happy tails.

She’d love a warehouse, barn, shed, shop, or other safe indoor space where she can live comfortably on her own terms. And the best part? Barn Buddies have NO adoption fee! 🎉 Price comes: 🐾 Fully vaccinated 🐾 Spayed 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Ready to clock in! All she asks is for a safe indoor space, fresh food and water every day, and someone willing to give her the care she deserves. She may not want to be your cuddle buddy, but Price still deserves a chance. ❤️ Think you have the perfect workplace for Price? Come meet her!

10/1 - 🥔Your camera roll could use more Tater. 💛 Those ears would probably make an appearance in every photo. Tater is a young Pit Bull mix who loves to run, explore, and spend time with his people. He’s looking for someone who enjoys an active dog and has the patience to help him learn along the way. There’s still plenty we’re learning about Tater, too. Come meet him at the shelter and talk with our team about what he needs in a home.

9/29 - 🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED: 4 TINY KITTENS 🚨 These four little babies are only 10 days old and need a foster home ASAP! 🐱🍼 They are bottle babies, which means they need to be fed around the clock—about every two hours as they grow. They also need a dedicated foster who can help keep them warm, clean, fed, and comfortable while they grow stronger. At just 10 days old, these kittens are especially vulnerable and don’t have a fully developed immune system yet. With new cats arriving in our stray cat hall every day with unknown health histories, getting these babies into a clean, quiet home environment is incredibly important. 💗 What they need from a foster: • Bottle feeding approximately every 2 hours • A warm, safe, comfortable space • Help keeping them clean • Lots of care and monitoring around the clock • A little patience and a LOT of love 🥹 This is a commitment, but it can also be an incredibly rewarding experience as you watch these tiny babies grow! Plus we'll help you every step of the way! We provide all the supplies, training, and support you'll need. Can you help these four little ones? Please reach out to our Foster Team ASAP! 📞 Call: 509-312-8681 📧 Email: fosterteam@wenatcheehumane.org They need a foster home now. ❤️🩹
