At 108 years old, Palo Alto Humane Society (PAHS) continues to intervene, educate and advocate for animals. Join us in our second century of compassion!

For over a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.

Funded solely by private donations and fundraising, Palo Alto Humane Society has consistently and creatively responded to protect animals and to address specific needs for their well-being throughout the mid-Peninsula. Palo Alto Humane Society develops, funds, or supports organizations dedicated to meeting specific needs of the animals of the mid-Peninsula.
