Beaver County Humane Society, located 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, PA, is the only animal shelter serving Beaver County and surrounding counties, Ohio and West Virginia. Since 1950, we have grown to meet the needs of the community as a full-service companion-animal welfare organization, providing pets with second chances and happy homes. Beaver County Humane Society is leading the way to protect all domestic animals and promote the concepts of kindness and respect for all living creatures with comprehensive offerings of animal-centered programs and services.
Everything we do is for the best interests of our animals in our care. Our adoption process is aimed at matching you, your family and your current pets with our animals for adoption. Upon arrival to the shelter, you will be asked to complete a printed pre-adoption application. If you complete a pre-adopt on-line, you still must come to the shelter with a valid photo ID and copy of lease approval (if renting). We will not contact you - you must come to the shelter. You must be in good standing with the Beaver County Humane Society and that the information you provided in regards to housing is correct. Our adoption team member may call your landlord if your lease does not state animal restrictions. Completed, approved per-adopt applications are held for 30 days. After 30 days, you must complete a new pre-adopt. Once your information has been confirmed, an Animal Attendant Team member (or volunteer) will introduce you to our animals in a private meeting room or outside in one of our exercise areas. We will share information about the animal’s history and needs, and any volunteer / staff comments. When we find the right pet for you and your family, the Adoption Team member will assist you in completing the proper paperwork. This process includes signing an adoption contract, reviewing medical history (provided by BCHS) and providing proper pet care information. This process takes approximately 1 hour to complete. Unaltered animals will need to stay to have sterilization surgery.
