Our Mission

The Humane Society of Kent County is dedicated to the protection and care of all animals. We give voice to creatures who cannot speak for themselves. 

We do this by:

• Promoting responsible pet care through public education and services

• Working to reduce unwanted pet populations

• Providing humane care to abandoned, injured or relinquished animals

• Finding homes for adoptable pets

Our Vision
 

Our vision is a community in which:

• All pets are provided with adequate food, shelter, medical care, companionship and appropriate training

• No adoptable pets are euthanized

• All companion pets are spayed or neutered

• All pets are wanted and considered a part of the family

• The Humane Society is considered the ‘pet source of choice’ for responsible pet owners.
  

Our Values & Beliefs

• OPEN DOOR POLICY
  We accept all animals that are brought to us for help.

• BEST CARE STANDARDS
  We provide humane and responsible care for all animals and facilitate placement to appropriate homes.

• COLLABORATION BRINGS RESULTS
  We cannot achieve our vision on our own. It will require collaboration with animal welfare organizations and other community partners in order to achieve our common goals.

• EDUCATION CHANGES BEHAVIOR
  Education directed toward an understanding of responsible pet care; the pet overpopulation problem; the need to spay and neuter pets can change citizen behavior over time.
