The Women's Humane Society was the first animal shelter in the United States. We were founded in 1869 by Caroline Earle White. Other firsts include... ...first humane education program in the U.S. ...first low cost veterinary clinic in the U.S. ...first bird conservation program in the U.S. ...first 'Companion Pets for Seniors' program in the U.S. ...first animal hospital owned and operated by a humane society in the state of Pennsylvania ...first ambulance service for animals We balance the wisdom gained from our long history in the humane movement with staying abreast of modern day issues and trends in animal welfare towards the goal of fulfilling our mission to take a comprehensive approach to the prevention of animal abuse and neglect.
The Women's Humane Society is a non-profit animal welfare organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or SPCA. Because we are a non-profit organization, we receive no tax dollars and operate solely on donations and fees that reflect our animal welfare mission ( for example our veterinary exam fee is $20.00, our minimum adoption donation recommendation is $20.00 for all cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies). We shelter unwanted dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, birds and other small animals. Adoptable animals are placed in our adoption program. We offer a low-cost veterinary clinic, open to the general public. Other services include: a humane education program that teaches children and community groups how to care for and respect animals, a cruelty investigations department, dog obedience training and an animal ambulance service.
