Feline Friends

In 774 square miles of urban and rural settings, Animal Services provides services to 303,976 residents. We are an open-admission facility that partners with numerous rescue organizations and other shelters to reunite abandoned animals with their owners. Staff and volunteers provide excellent daily care and enrichment, and we collaborate with our neighborhood vets to assist animals in need of more extensive care. In addition, we act as a hub for information on animal behavior and health issues, promote humane living, and manage grants for veterinary costs for animals.

Mason County's Adopt-a-Pet dog shelter has been in existence for 44 years and is entirely volunteer-run. We are a motivated group committed to rescuing neglected, abandoned, and unwanted dogs. Our aim is to find loving, safe homes for every one of our dogs. As a 501(c)3 non-profit, our ability to carry out our good deeds depends on adoption fees, contributions, grants, fundraisers, and estate bequests. Since it takes a village to save a dog, we are appreciative of the community's help.

The Humane Society of Mason County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the spaying and neutering of companion animals as well as wild cats. All of the adoptable animals from HSMC are in foster homes.

CHEW Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer group committed to saving dogs who have been abandoned, are in danger of being put to sleep because there isn't enough room in the shelter, and other pets in need. In the ten years since CHEW was founded as a dog rescue group, we have saved and rescued 1,315 canines. To aid more dogs in need, we are constantly looking for more foster homes and money for other crucial aspects of dog rescue.

A small group of concerned residents established The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, which has now evolved to become one of the biggest animal protection organizations in the state. Every year, we provide care for almost 10,000 animals, help thousands of lost animals find their owners, treat sick and injured shelter animals, and administer extensive, affordable spay-neuter programs.
