Without you, there is no Washington Humane Society!

The Washington Humane Society is supported almost entirely by private contributions. The overwhelming majority of our contributors are individuals just like you who support our mission to protect and defend homeless, abused and abandoned animals. Without your support, our ability to sustain our proactive animal welfare programs and to answer every call for help may be compromised.

If you would prefer to send a check, please make it payable to
the Washington Humane Society, and send it to:

Sponsor a Shelter Animal

Caring individuals can have a positive impact on the life of a Washington, DC homeless animal by sponsoring a dog or cat in one of our two shelters as they await permanent homes. For just $150 (the average cost of each animal’s stay to WHS ), you can have the satisfaction of knowing that your generosity sponsored the bedding, treats, special foods, toys, gentle leader leashes, dog “Adopt Me” vests, etc. that make an animal’s stay at the shelter as comfortable as possible. Your name will be prominently displayed on an animal’s cage for all visitors to see, and you may visit and meet the beneficiary of your generosity (WHS will work with you to choose the right animal). To sponsor a dog or a cat, please send your one-time gift of $150 (or spread your payments over 12 months at $12 per month) and specify if you prefer to sponsor a dog or a cat. You can also make your gift online by donating with credit card. For more information, contact Peter Larson 202-723-5730, (ext. 206) or via e-mail at plarson@washhumane.org.
