YOUR SUPPORT IN ACTION

We are deeply committed to meeting the varied needs of animals and the people who love them. But we can’t do it without the generosity of our friends in the community – friends who know that when they donate to Humane Pennsylvania, they are making extraordinary work possible.

AND, WHAT DOES THIS GIVING SUPPORT?

• The animals in our care need food, water, and sometimes medication every day. Your support provides those resources and the people to provide them.
• Thousands of dollars are spent yearly to care for the animals in our shelters, and to support the ones in our community.
• Companion animals we place in loving homes are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and provided the highest level of care while they are in our shelters.
• Innovative programs such as our Healthy Pets Initiative
• Our Community Support Services, which provided close to 500,000 pet meals in 2023, and also offer a life-changing safety-net for pet families in need.

These figures are a small snapshot of what we accomplish together with people like you who love animals. Together, we can create a more humane Pennsylvania.
