The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is one of Washington’s largest nonprofit animal welfare organizations, providing essential care to more than 9,000 animals in our shelter each year. As a donor-funded organization, we rely on community support to find loving homes for nearly 7,000 pets, reunite more than 1,100 lost animals with their families and assist thousands more through innovative community programs.

Our Friendly Finder program empowers community members to help reunite lost pets with their families without entering the shelter, while our foster and volunteer opportunities provide additional ways to make a difference. We offer vital pet support services, including Spay/Neuter and Wellness Vouchers, a monthly Vaccine and Wellness Clinic and a Pet Food & Supply Pantry. Our S.P.O.T. mobile veterinary unit will expand access to essential veterinary care and launch a targeted trap-neuter/spay-return (TNR) program across Pierce County.
