We're Expanding
to Better Serve You!
The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is here to tackle the needs of the community and transform animal welfare in the Miami Valley.
With more than $5 million raised, we are 100% fully funded to embark on the first phase of our Master Plan. With plans to break ground this Spring, these new amenities will provide much-needed services to the people and pets in our community including a:
- Regional High-Volume Spay/Neuter Clinic that will positively impact the unowned cat overpopulation concerns facing our neighborhoods.
- Full-Service, Needs-Based Animal Hospital that will help pet owners in our community better care for their pets.
- Cruelty & Neglect Animal Rehabilitation Center that will house, protect and rehabilitate animals who have been involved in cruel or neglectful circumstances.
We're Not Done Yet - We Need You!
The Humane Society of Greater Dayton has a big vision for all animal welfare in the Miami Valley. Thanks to a small group of generous supporters, fundraising for expanding the services offered at our Nicholas Road location is complete. The next phase in our Master Plan to help more animals in need is the creation of a new adoption and community center at our site on Austin Boulevard. This new facility near Austin Landing will allow us to continue to move forward and impact the community to better meet the needs of all animals, while saving more lives!
