ABOUT US

The Isle of Wight County Humane society is an all volunteer organization that promotes responsible pet care and the humane treatment of animals in our local community. Humane Society members take in homeless and unwanted animals and provide them with foster care and medical treatment. When the animals are healthy and socialized, they are adopted out to permanent homes. Our pet adoption program is very successful and we find homes for hundreds of dogs and cats each year.

The Humane Society also actively supports our county animal shelter.
The shelter is owned and administered by Isle of Wight County
but the Humane Society provides vaccines, medication, leashes, pet carriers and
veterinary care not funded by the county.
We also take animals from the shelter as part of our adoption program.
Additionally our group donates “wish list” items to the shelter and we have recently purchased cooling fans, heating pads, disinfecting aerators, a bathtub and a digital camera for the facility.

To promote our concern for animal welfare the Humane Society participates in local activities such as parades, festivals and fairs.

We also place notices and advertisements in our local newspaper, The Smithfield Times. Our small “green house” donation banks have been set up in the shops and stores of many kind business owners throughout the county.
