Animal homelessness is essentially the by-product of people
who take little or no responsibility for animals in their
care. We live in a society where nearly everything is disposable,
which leads many people to terminate their relationship with
an animal on a whim, with little or no thought about the impact
it will have on these creatures.
Harbor Humane Society strives to adopt out as many animals
as we can to loving, nurturing homes. Some animals are simply
unadoptable due to aggression or illness, but we make every
effort to unite unwanted animals with people who will care
for them for a lifetime.
