Washington Humane Society


The Washington Humane Society is the oldest animal protection agency in Washington, D.C. Since 1870, WHS has served homeless, lost, and abused animals in the District of Columbia; providing protection from cruelty, shelter from the elements, and a second chance at a loving home. No call for help goes unanswered, and no animal is ever turned away.

The animals you see on our website need homes. But they need friends, too. Even if you can't adopt them, you can help care for them and find them homes. We spend an average of $60 on each animal from the time they walk through the door with an officer to the time they walk out with a new family. That's just for the direct costs of their care: food, medicine, vaccinations, treats, toys, kennel supplies, grooming and adoptions advertising. It doesn't include staff time, overhead, general operating expenses, or anything else. They would love your help as they make the transition from "unwanted" to "cherished." Please help with a sponsorship gift of $60 or any amount. A gift of any size will help give current and future animals the care -- and the hope -- that they need. They ask for so little and they deserve so much.

If you would prefer to send a check, please make it payable to The Washington Humane Society, and send it to:
