Humane Society of Central Washington

The Humane Society of Central Washington, SPCA is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving and protecting the animals of Yakima County. Our mission is to end animal suffering and cruelty, reduce animal overpopulation, and educate the public regarding responsible pet ownership while promoting community kindness and commitment to their welfare. We practice and promote the Humane treatment of animals through animal control services, pet adoption, education, information, referral and quality animal care.

The Humane Society of Central Washington/SPCA is currently located at 2405 W. Birchfield Rd (right off of Nob Hill Blvd. across from K-Mart down by the Arboretum) in Yakima. We are open Monday through Saturday from 12 pm. – 5 pm. Incorporated in 1906, our Humane Shelter has been operating as a non-profit 501-(c)(3) organization at its current location since 1983.

We offer educational oportunities for local schools to educate the youth regarding responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals in our community.

The Humane Society of Central Washington has partnered with local rescue organizations and animal control to form a Spay and Neuter Coalition for Yakima County. The Spay & Neuter Assistance Program(SNAP) was first implemented in 2005 thanks to a generous grant of $10,000 from the Yakama Nation Legends Casino in Toppenish, Washington. A dedicated group of individuals came together to help reduce the overwhelming amount of litters being born in Yakima County. The coalition consists of The Humane Society of Central Washington, Barks R' Us Rescue, Pawsitive Alliance, Yakima Valley Pet Rescue, Yakima County Animal Control, & the Yakama Nation Housing Authority.
