The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is: A no-kill animal welfare agency. The ONLY organization in the Miami Valley helping all types of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, farm animals, exotics, birds, small animals, and more. The OLDEST AND MOST-ESTABLISHED animal organization in the area. We’ve been helping people and pets since 1902. The ONLY organization with sworn humane agents on staff investigating cruelty and neglect against ALL types of animals. Run SOLELY by donations. We receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of individuals, companies, and grants to fund 100 percent of our programs and services. Although we have Humane Society in our name, we are not affiliated with any other animal welfare agency in the region, state, or nation. All funds raised stay right here to help animals locally. Rated in the TOP 4 PERCENT NATIONALLY as a 4-star nonprofit through Charity Navigator, a national watchdog group that ensures nonprofits are good stewards of all donations and gifts. We also have received the highest rating possible through Guidestar, and in 2017 received the BBB Eclipse Integrity Award for the impact we have made on our community.
If you find an animal you are interested in, fill out our Online Adoption Application. Once we have an adoption counselor review your application, we will have someone reach out to you to schedule an appointment for you to meet that animal in person. If it is a fit, you can typically adopt the animal the same day as your appointment.
