Who
we are
We are pets, people, and community. We are a nonprofit organization with a nearly 120-year mission of helping Dayton’s lost, abandoned, and homeless animals. A community of animal advocates, supported by the community—by people like you.
What
we do
Through our programs and services, we seek the dignity and value of animals. We promote the loving relationships between people and animals in the Dayton community. From reuniting lost pets with families to curbing populations through spay/neuter programs, we cover a lot.


Report animal cruelty
Put this number in your phone: 855-PETS-911. Call when you see animal abuse and neglect, help us stop the suffering. We investigate all signs of cruelty, neglect, and abuse against all animals. We need your help because animals need your help.
How you can help us today.
It’s tough work, but somebody has to play with the dogs and cats. They need scratches, pets, and special treats. But if that’s not the cat’s meow for you, we need help at events and with spreadsheets. Be an animal’s hero by volunteering with our organization.
