Animal Shelters

The mission of WAIF is to save companion animals, give them loving care, fight for their wellbeing, and successfully advance the relationship between people and animals.

The Welfare for Animals Guild's mission is to defend the rights and welfare of animals, protect them from mistreatment and exploitation, and raise public understanding and empathy for the creatures with whom we coexist on our planet.

The purpose of the Benton County Canine Shelter is to provide safety to the mistreated and neglected dogs in the unincorporated regions of Benton County as well as shelter to the displaced and abandoned pets. We work to raise awareness of the value of responsible pet ownership and care in the community and think that all dogs should have a safe and loving environment before being adopted by their forever families.

A volunteer board of directors oversees the non-profit organization known as the Humane Society of Cowlitz County. Although the Humane Society does not receive funding from a local organization, it does have an animal control contract with the counties of Cowlitz, Longview, Kelso, Castle Rock, and Woodland. The Humane Society is an open admission facility that accepts strays as well as animals that have been released by their owners. These animals include dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other common household pets.

The Kitty Rescue is a NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL501-(c) 3 Organization. Every donation is tax deductible. Litter, dry and canned cat food, towels, bleach, and of course financial aid are all things we could use.

The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society was established in 1967 by Gwyneth and Bruce Mitchell, fulfilling their aim of providing homes and hope for stray animals in the Wenatchee Valley. The shelter increased in size and services as the Mitchells carried out their purpose. The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society still upholds their history and dedication today.
