When a group of devoted volunteers in Suffolk noticed how many pets were being given up by their owners, the Suffolk Humane Society was founded. These volunteers promised to work with the City of Suffolk's Animal Care Center to spread the word about adoptable animals in our neighborhood because they wanted to see a difference.
