For 115 years, Kitsap Humane Society is where second chances start for pets and the people who love them. Together with your support, we put compassion into action and serve as a safety net, providing essential services and progressive programs to pets and people in need since 1908.
Please give today to help us serve as more than a shelter to people and pets who rely on KHS for critical, lifesaving support and care. And this spring and summer, as temperatures rise, we’ll see even more animals coming into KHS who will be counting on you!
Kitsap Humane Society is the West Sound region’s largest nonprofit animal shelter, and in 2022, we were committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming thousands of pets in need. Because of supporters like you, we took in more than 4,290 pets in need - including 572 at-risk animals we transferred into our shelter from high-volume and overcrowded rescues around the world, rehomed 3,411 animals, and reunited 522 lost dogs, cats, and critters with their loving owners. And that's not all - in 2022 alone, we spayed and neutered 4,000 pets - including 1,519 owned animals through our low-cost spay/neuter services.
Founded in 1908 and fondly known as “the little shelter that could,” KHS is a national leader in animal welfare with a lifesaving rate of 94% or better, year after year, among the highest in the nation!
