We transition companion pets that need the love of a family.
The Humane Society can accept cash, checks, or card for adoption and deposit fees.
If you are interested in a dog or cat, please fill out the contact form on the pet’s profile page or call us at (814) 677-4040.
We can answer your questions and send you a physical application if you would prefer one.
Phones will be answered during regular hours.
Before you adopt ask yourself the following questions:
- Can I provide the required medical care, food, and shelter?
- Do I have the time to give my pet the exercise, love, and attention it needs?
- Do I have enough space?
- Do I know if this pet is a good fit for my family?
If you can answer “YES” to the above questions, you are a great candidate for adopting a pet.
Be sure to ask the shelter or a vet about the breed you’re considering. Consider any special needs or medical conditions that the breed may have or develop. Make sure you have everything you need for your pet to ensure they are happy and healthy.
