Our Mission

The Humane Society of Cambria County aims to provide a second chance for the abandoned, surrendered, and stray animals of Cambria County through the means of a no-kill philosophy and quality of life policy, our volunteer and foster programs, animal control services, a spay and neuter requirement, our veterinarian relationships, animal training assistance, a vetted adoption process, responsible pet ownership, and, most importantly, the human-and-animal bond.

Adoptable Pets

Our Pet in the Spotlight

Penelope is a 2 year old female pit bull mix. She came to the humane society on October 6, 2022, and has been with us ever since! This cute girl is a mid sized dog, and has a lot of love to give! Penelope can be dog selective, so a meet and greet would be necessary for other dogs in the home. She would do well in a home with older children, and someone who can continue some basic training to calm some of her excitable puppy ways! Penelope would love a home that she can play, go on walks, and cuddle up with her family in! Do you think your home could be right for this sweet girl?

Volunteer of the Month

For the month of June, we would like to recognize Julia as #VolunteeroftheMonth! Julia has been volunteering at the Humane Society of Cambria County since September of 2020. What she enjoys the most about volunteering is that she can make an animal’s days just by letting them out to exercise and giving them her love and attention. She loves seeing them being their amazing selves outside of their kennels as well as seeing previously shy or scared animals open up. Julia would tell others that volunteering is all about asking yourself what you can do for the animals. There is nothing better than seeing your love and dedication having positive impacts on the animals! Thank you Julia for being a compassionate and dedicated volunteer! Read Julia’s full story here!
