Our Story

Serving Clallam County's animals since 1947

Where it all Began

The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society was founded in 1947 with a mission to protect homeless, helpless, and suffering animals throughout Clallam County.

Over the years, the support of our community has helped us expand our services, improve our facilities, and create safer, brighter futures for thousands of animals.

Today, we continue that mission through compassionate care, dedicated staff and volunteers, and a community that believes every animal deserves a chance.
