The Women’s Humane Society is dedicated to the humane and compassionate treatment of animals. As America’s First Animal Shelter founded in 1869, we are committed to protecting the interests of animals and offering a continuum of care to ensure that all animals are treated humanely with kindness and respect.

WHS serves communities in the Delaware Valley by rescuing and sheltering unwanted animals, offering humane education programs, cruelty investigations, and by providing a veterinary hospital and adoption program to match animals with their lifelong home.
