Palo Alto Humane Society

Founded in 1908, Palo Alto Humane Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, charitable organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of shelters through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, education, and community engagement. For more than a century, PAHS’ mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.
