Located on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula in Northwest Washington State the OLYMPIC PENINSULA Humane Society has maintained a active presence in the community since 1947. The Society shelters and cares for animals of all types. The goals of the Society include finding responsible owners for all adoptable pets and the prevention of abuse and cruelty.
We are a private, non-profit 501 C3 corporations owned by our membership. We are not a government agency. We contract with the City of Port Angeles and Clallam county to provide care and shelter for their animals. We are financed primarily with your donations and gifts.
Every living creature has a purpose and value existing for reasons not necessarily known to us. Mankind is accountable for insuring the welfare of all species of animals, both domestic and wild. We accept responsibility for the protection, care, and shelter for all domestic animals in our charge. We acknowledge the primary purpose for the existence of the OLYMPIC PENINSULA Humane Society is the prevention of cruelty to any living creature.
We do not turn away any animal brought to us and we currently handle 2500 to 3000 animals annually. Our current adoption rate for dogs is 90%. We work closely with other humane societies and resources across the state to help place adoptable dogs in loving, permanent homes.
