A Shopping Experience Like No Other

Welcome to Dayton Humane & Co., where upscale shopping meets compassionate giving! Unlike any ordinary thrift store, we redefine resale with a boutique experience that blends style and purpose. From chic clothing and designer accessories to stunning furniture and curated home décor, every item in our collection exudes sophistication. What makes us truly special? Every purchase directly supports the homeless animals at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, a no-kill animal welfare organization. Step inside, indulge in guilt-free shopping, and make a difference—one find at a time!

When Will We Open?

Dayton Humane & Co. will be located in the former Marshall’s store within Cross Pointe Shopping Center, 101 E. Alex Bell Road in Centerville.

Currently, we are under construction, but are still accepting donations from the public.

The store’s Grand Opening will be Saturday, May 24, 2025! Mark your calendars! We hope to see you there!
