WE FIND DOGS & CATS
NEW LOVING HOMES
Our humane society provides a personalized and experienced adoption service, where each animal and prospective adopter is treated uniquely. We don't adhere to rigid rehoming criteria because we believe every dog and cat deserves their perfect match. Our goal is to find that special someone for each of our furry friends, ensuring a loving and suitable home for all.

WE OFFER PROGRAMS TO HELP THE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS
At Highland Humane Society, we’re committed to supporting pets and the people who love them throughout Highland County. We offer a variety of community programs designed to keep pets healthy, safe, and in their homes—including vaccine and microchip clinics, low-cost spay/neuter services, affordable dog training options, and a Pet Food Pantry to help families in need. These programs, along with other initiatives, are all part of our mission to improve the lives of animals and strengthen the bond between pets and their people.
