Mission Statement
The Whatcom Humane Society: Advocates for animals, educates the community to promote humane treatment and respect for animals, and provides for abandoned, injured, abused or neglected animals.
About This Cause
The Whatcom Humane Society’s (WHS) mission is to advocate for animals, educate the community to promote humane treatment and respect for animals, and provide for abandoned, injured, abused or neglected animals. We turn no animal away regardless of the animal’s breed, age, temperament, physical or medical condition. WHS advocates for the right of all animals to be treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. In 2020, we sheltered and provided medical attention for over 5,000 domestic and native wild animals. In addition to sheltering services, WHS operates 24-hour Animal Control and Rescue, an in-house veterinary clinic, animal adoptions, and a Safe Pet program for temporary care of animals belonging to victims of domestic violence. We also offer programs for pets of low-income families in Whatcom County, including a Spay and Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) and a pet food bank. The Whatcom Humane Society does more than respond to all animals in need; it informs and educates the community about the humane treatment of animals. WHS engages the community through workshops for all ages with a variety of topics. We offer programming in schools across the county in our effort to reduce the cycle of pet overpopulation and animal abuse in Whatcom County.
