124
We have proudly been serving the people and pets of the Miami Valley since 1902 - that is 124 years!
Cruelty/Neglect Investigations and Rescues
We investigate all signs of cruelty, neglect, and abuse to all types of animals.
Community Cat Initiative
This initiative offers a catch-and-release spay/neuter program and a working cat program designed to reduce the number of outdoor cats humanely, effectively and ethically.
Community Outreach
We offer pet therapy, presentations, tours, and birthday parties.
Surrendering an Animal
Parting with a beloved pet is tough. As a limited-intake facility, we can only take in as many animals as we have space for.
Lost and Found
Call us right away if you lose your pet. We make every attempt to reunite pets with their families.
Pets for Life
The Humane Society of Greater Dayton’s Pets for Life program brings free, personalized pet wellness services directly into underserved neighborhoods, breaking down barriers that keep families from accessing essential care. This community-based approach empowers pet owners, strengthens the human–animal bond, and helps pets stay healthy and safe in the homes they love.
Safe Haven Program
We investigate all signs of cruelty, neglect, and abuse to all types of animals.
Disaster Preparedness
We investigate all signs of cruelty, neglect, and abuse to all types of animals.
Our Impact
We are more than a hub for animal adoption. We offer programs, resources, and services for all animals in the Greater Dayton community.
A Community Where All Animals Are Valued
Jean B."The Humane Society of Greater Dayton amazes me on many levels. Just a few points include: the staff and volunteers are fabulous, the level of compassion and care is evident, safety measures are enforced and respected, and the animals are shown a level of respect that they deserve. The proof that it all works is that the majority of animals that come into the shelter go back out into loving families."
