Whatcom Humane Society

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue, and Cosmo was the very first animal we ever successfully rescued and adopted. Since then, we have rescued hundreds of dogs from high-kill shelters in various states that were on death row.

Our rescue offers a safe refuge and adoption service for stray cats and dogs in Washington State, inspired by the extraordinary canine, Rocket. Rocket Rescue is committed to helping abandoned animals find the ideal SPACE.

To provide education programs that raise awareness of humane treatment and the importance of spaying and neutering all animals. To give shelter and care for the unwanted, abused, or abandoned animals. To treat the animals with dignity and respect.

We assist cats and the people who adore them at the Cat's Meow. We offer free spay/neuter services for cats in our neighborhood, a free cat food and litter pantry, a unique cage-free adoption center where we house unwanted cats until they find loving homes, and an indoor/outdoor refuge for wild cats, among other services.

Our Mission: By running an animal shelter, we work to promote the welfare of animals in need by offering assistance to the local community and humane treatment.
