Dogs

Man’s best friend. They’ve been there for us practically since time began, at our side, in our homes…counting on us to accept (and return) the love and affection they consistently offer. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, each one able to wag, wriggle, or worm their way into our hearts. Discover a dog that delights you today!

Cats

They’re cute, they’re cuddly…they couldn’t care less what we think! Life with a feline friend can be entertaining, exciting, and ever so rewarding. Cats are playful and particular, purring powerhouses of love and affection, whether classically mysterious and sphinx-like or goofy as a puppy. Find yourself a feline friend today!

Special Needs

Some animals face challenges which make finding a new home that much more difficult. They may have physical impairments or chronic health issues, or just require specific environments…but animals with special needs are as loving and deserving of love as any other. Make room in your heart today and learn just how very special they are!

Seniors

Investing your heart in an older pet can be incredibly rewarding, knowing time is precious and your gentle care in their senior years is as needed as it is welcome. Their unconditional love does not lessen with age, nor their need for affection diminish! Everyone deserves a friend, right up until the end…cherish a senior pet today.

Adoption Fees & Requirements

We get so much out of our furry companions, but at Valley Humane Society we also put a lot in! Each dog and cat in our care receives high-quality veterinary care, vaccines, microchips, nutritional diets, socialization, and plenty of love. 

In addition, each pet is spayed or neutered before going home. Connect with one of our knowledgeable adoption counselors who can pair you up with the pet that’s right for you!
