The Washington Area Humane Society (WAHS) is a no-kill shelter, funded solely by private contributions. Our shelter takes in as many as 4,000 animals annually and investigates an average of 800 abuse complaints per year.

Our Mission is to:
• provide shelter, safety and food for the orphaned and abused animals of Washington County with the goal of placing them in loving homes;

• provide public education about the humane care and treatment of animals;

• provide affordable veterinary outpatient services including spaying or neutering; and

• investigate and resolve abuse cases in the best interests of the animal and community.

We do not euthanize animals to make room for other animals. We pride ourselves on giving every animal a second, even third chance at a loving permanent home regardless of age or medical condition. Our only exceptions are those cases where "quality of life" is severely affected and for cases of public safety. We would not knowingly allow an animal to suffer nor pose a safety risk to the community.

We need dedicated volunteers and your economic help to continue to operate. Every donation counts.
