Humane Educational Society finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. We do not impose time or space limits on animals at the shelter.  While browsing available animals online is a fantastic tool, there truly is no substitute for meeting your potential new best friend in person. Our adoption staff will be happy to help you get some one-on-one time with available pets and can help you choose the right companion based on the needs of the animal and your lifestyle.
