About the Society:
The Humane Society of Cambria County, which has provided 31 years of service to companion animals and the public was founded in 1976 by a group of people led by Gail Suppes who were concerned about the welfare of stray and unwanted animals within the county. We are a private, not-for-profit, incorporated organization, holding a class NP kennel license and are inspected and audited quarterly by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The HSCC operates as an open entry shelter, meaning that we accept stray as well as owner surrendered companion animals, including those that are sick, elderly, pregnant, injured or aggressive. We have received more than 123,700 animals since the shelter opened. The purpose of the Humane Society of Cambria County is:
- To provide temporary care and shelter for stray and unwanted companion animals from Cambria County
- To place as many of these animals as possible into good homes
- To investigate complaints of cruelty to animals
- To provide educational materials on proper pet care
- To promote awareness of the importance of spaying/neutering
- To advocate for the humane treatment of all animals .
