Our Mission. Who We Are.

The mission of the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area is to build a better community for pets and people through compassion, protection, education, and collaboration. 

The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area (HSHA) serves pets and people in Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties, an area of more than 600,000 people. HSHA not only helps our community’s homeless, abandoned, and lost pets but also acts as a resource for individuals to receive support through our various programs and services, focusing on providing quality care for people and our shelter companions.

Together, We’ve Built a No-Kill Harrisburg.
