For Pets. For People. For Pierce County.
We’re here when pets need a new home, when families need support, and when care can’t wait. Through adoption, reunification, medical care, and community resources, we help keep pets and people safe—together.
Start A New Adventure
Meet a pet who’s been waiting for you. Every animal here has a story and a future that starts with the right match. Just browsing? That’s okay, take your time.
How We Support
No two situations look the same. Sometimes it’s finding a new home. Sometimes it’s help staying together. We provide direct care when we can and connect people to trusted resources when that’s the better path. This important work couldn’t be done without our partners and neighbors who all strengthen the safety net that keeps pets and people thriving.

Serving Pierce County For Over A Century
At the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, we’re here for folks who need help feeding their pets. For families trying to hold on through hard times. For a lost pet waiting to be found, and the child who misses them.
And yes, for the thousands of animals who pass through our doors every year needing a new home, refuge, medical care, or a fresh start.
As an independent nonprofit serving Pierce County for over 100 years, we’re part of this region’s DNA, known and relied on by generations of families who’ve walked through our doors to adopt a new best friend, find help in a moment of need, or give back to the place that once helped them.
Powered By Community
Together, we’re building a community where every action is rooted in our belief that doing good for animals means doing good for all and that it takes an incredible amount of heart, skill, and shared responsibility.
