The Humane Society of Skagit Valley (HSSV) is a non-profit organization founded in 1974 to provide a safe haven to shelter and care for the abandoned, abused, or unwanted animals within Skagit County, WA; to treat the animals with dignity and respect; to place these animals into loving and caring homes; to create public education programs that increase the awareness of humane treatment and the necessity of spay and neuter of all animals; and to coordinate resources for housing and placement of small animals evacuated during disaster. HSSV is an open-admission facility that accepts any companion animals who need our care. We see more than 2500 animals annually. We provide care, comfort, and medical care to the animals we receive. Even animals with extensive medical needs get the attention they require.
