Berkeley East Bay Humane Society

Welcome to the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society, one of the oldest private animal shelters in the San Francisco East Bay Region. We offer a unique environment that nurtures and shelters companion animals until they are placed in loving homes. Established in 1927, we are a private, non-profit organization supported solely by private contributions. Thank you for your support!

Our Mission: The Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to placing homeless animals with committed caretakers; to developing healthy relationships between pets and people through education, training and counseling; and to promoting the humane treatment of all animals.

The Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society (BEBHS) provides many valuable resources for animal lovers throughout the San Francisco Bay area. Through our adoption services, sponsored events, community lectures, workshops, seminars, mobile adoption, humane education, and dog and cat training classes, BEBHS makes homeless animals into beloved pets. We also offer reasonably priced, high quality medical care in our Veterinary Hospital for the public. Please visit us in person or online at www.berkeleyhumane.org for location, Adoption Center & Veterinary Hospital hours, and much more!

And, you won’t want to miss our fun and fantastic annual events like Mozart for Mutts & Meows in May (an elegant evening of music, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, & a very special silent auction) and Bay to Barkers Dogwalk & Festival every July (a doggone fun-filled day of activities, contests, & games including the K-9 Olympiad and a 1.3 mile leisurely hike around Cesar Chavez Park) – all to benefit the homeless dogs and cats of the BEBHS. Please check our website for more details.
