Humane Society for Southwest Washington

Last year, more than 16,000 animals in our community were served by HSSW. With campuses in Vancouver and Longview, we provide shelter for lost and stray pets, refuge from abuse and neglect, essential medical care, and a second chance for a happy home. 

HSSW is a lifesaving pathway for animals across Southwest Washington and when you Give More for the Animals, you are part of that pathway. 

And our commitment to the pets and people of Southwest Washington extends far beyond the shelter, providing critical support to pets and families. Through our community medicine program, we provide low-cost, high-quality veterinary care for the pets in need, helping to ensure animals remain healthy and home with the people who love them. We also provide support through critical programs like free pet food, emergency boarding, financial assistance, and other services that help keep families together.

This is what it means to Give More for the Animals: creating safety, healing, and second chances for every animal that needs us.

Our Mission: rescue • return • restore • rehome • reconnect one animal at a time

Our Vision: A community where everyone loves and cares for animals
