Caring for unwanted dogs, cats and small animals is the role of the Women’s Humane Society, one of the country’s first humane societies. We serve the Delaware Valley from our convenient location in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and offer a variety of services to area pet owners. The Society is not affiliated with any other humane society or SPCA and is completely supported by your donations and fees collected for medical services; we do not receive any federal, state or local tax funds.

You’ll find information on adoptions, turning in unwanted animals, our hospital, cruelty investigations, education, obedience, and volunteer programs, and our ambulance service on this website, along with pages dedicated to answers to frequently asked questions.

Please keep in mind that although our animal listings are updated several times each week, it is possible that an animal you see on the site may already be adopted by the time you visit us. It is impossible to determine if an animal is right for you and your family just by looking at a photograph on a website. We urge you to carefully consider an animal’s interaction with your family members and the demands of your lifestyle before making the decision to adopt a pet.

In order to adopt a pet from the Society, you must live within a 50-mile radius of our location in Bensalem, PA.
