More than 90 years of lifesaving efforts invested into our community.
SoHumane provides quality care for dogs and cats while working to make a difference in the pet overpopulation problem. Annually, SoHumane serves approximately 1,600 companion animals. In 2020, despite the many challenges that we faced with Covid-19, we successfully adopted out 1,085 animals, and saved 392 animals from euthanasia at other shelters through our Saving Train program.
