Humane Society for Southwest Washington Our Mission
rescue • return • restore • rehome • reconnect
One animal at a time. Each year, thousands of pets in our community receive care at HSSW.

We provide shelter to lost and stray pets, a refuge from abuse and neglect, essential medical care, and a second chance for a happy home. And our commitment to the pets and people of Southwest Washington extends beyond the shelter, providing critical support to pets and families with Wellness Clinics, pet food assistance, spay/neuter, emergency boarding, financial assistance, and other programs th

at help keep families together. We also own and operate ReTails Thrift Store – the best thrift store in Clark County! Giving new life to gently-used items, every purchase and donation at ReTails supports our lifesaving work with the animals. Learn more at hssw.org/retails

Billy Idol is all smiles because our 🌞Summer of Love🌞 adoption promotion was a huge success! And the total is...

32 Cats
20 Dogs
90 (!!) Kittens
14 Puppies
2 Guinea Pigs

🐱🐶🐹❤️ That's 158 pets adopted, and an additional 17 pre-adoptions bringing the total up to 170. Amazing!

Thank you to everyone who adopted. And big shout out to our staff and volunteers for their work - it was a BUSY weekend. Thank you also to everyone who shared the promotion with friends and family - your support helped more pets find the loving homes they deserve.

If you missed out, there are still pets (like Billy Idol, wink wink) looking for homes at hssw.org/adopt.
