The Humane Society of Greene County is dedicated to finding good homes for homeless dogs and cats through our shelter, and to stopping abuse of animals in Greene County.
Buy a Brick Donation Program
Some of our supporters participate in our Buy a Brick program. There is a brick wall at the shelter, and for $100 you can add a brick to it. The brick will have an inscription of your choosing. This is a good way to present your family to other animal lovers, memorialize someone who loved animals, or put the name of your business in front of the public. Go to the Buy a Brick page to find out more about this way to support the Humane Society of Greene County.
The Future of the Humane Society of Greene County
The Humane Society of Greene County Pennsylvania is a non-profit organization that exists solely on donations. The number of lost, abandoned, and abused animals that come through the doors every year is 1,300! We are far above the national average in the number of animals we save every year!
WE SAVED 84% OF ALL THE DOGS THAT CAME TO US IN 2007!
You can contact us about our yearly summary data report for information about our annual operation.
Without ongoing donations, the Humane Society cannot stay open. It is the only place of refuge for the abandoned and abused animals in a rural county with a large animal population. You can help the shelter continue to work on behalf of the animals that have nothing.
Making tax-deductible donations is convenient and easy. Our Drive to Survive program gives supporters ways to help us now and in the future.
Consider this:
For Less than the cost of a pizza once a month, you can save lives and break the chains of abuse!
Join the Power of Ten Club to make this kind of miracle happen again for an abused animal. Click on this Drive to Survive link to sign up for a repeating donation, to join the Power of Ten Club.

Danny was rescued from starving to death on a chain. Now he weighs 81 lbs. and he sleeps on the couch at his new home.
To become a member of the Power of Ten Club, arrange to donate $10 a month or more. You can use the secure and easy electronic funds transfer that can automatically make a deduction for you. It is simple to disenroll at any time, should you have a change of circumstances.
We use PayPal to handle credit donations, but you do not have to be a PayPal member or regular user to participate. Just go to the The Drive to Survive page or click a button above, and select your level of participation--PayPal will guide you from there.
Please consider being a regular donor and we thank you on behalf of the homeless animals who have no voice.
Our Current Needs--Dog Food, Dog Boxes
We are always in need of good quality dog food. Many of the animals that come to us are badly undernourished. The quality of food is important in their recovery. There is a drop box outside our facility where donations can be left during hours that the shelter is not open. Please consider feeding an animal in need. Just look at the results we are getting!
The Humane Society is happy to take used dog boxes or dog houses. You can drop them off near our front gate, even if the shelter is not open. Humane Police Officers use dog houses for needy dogs in their care. If you had more dogs at one time than you now have, we are happy to reduce the clutter around your home by recycling your used dog house, box, or cage.
Thank You !
Project Horse
If you are looking for a Project Horse, please e-mail or call us. We have access to a whole herd of horses that have not been well treated, so each of these animals will require TLC and rehabilitation. If you show us that you can and will put in the time, we may have an addition to your stable.
Click this link to the Humane Society of Washington County, MD, and then look down the main page for the Sharpsburg Horse Rescue, where you will find a link to an application along with a link to pictures of the horses.

Art Works for Sale at Our Shelter
Local artist Callie Paul has graciously donated wood block prints she has made of animals that our shelter has rescued and sent to adoptive homes. These prints are on sale at our shelter, with all proceeds going to the Greene County Humane Society. To see these beautiful prints, go to the Artworks Page.
Pet Therapy
The Humane Society joins forces with Waynesburg College Bonner students Stephanie and Jennifer, to bring smiles to Rolling Meadow residents with Gem, the shelter mascot.
Lost Dog
This neutered, male, black and brown beagle is lost or strayed. There is a reward for information on his whereabouts. Please call the shelter--the number is above.
Cash for Critters
Your used inkjet or laser printer cartridges can help the Humane Society. Turn them in to us at the shelter, or at the Humane Society bin at the Waynesburg Giant Eagle, and we can get money for them to use for animal care. We can accept all but Epson cartridges. You can clear out your home or office, recycle to reduce waste, and help the Society, all in one simple act. Contact the shelter for more information.
Adopting a Companion Animal From Us
We will do our best to match you with a pet that fits the way you live and the resources you have to bring to the relationship with a pet.
We temperament-test our dogs to screen out those that are not ready for life with people.
If you are unsatisfied with a dog or cat that you adopt from us, we will take it back.
We would also like to mention that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires that all animals that we send for adoption must be neutered. This is how the state tries to ensure that the number of stray cats and dogs does not increase.
Humane Treatment
Most Greene County residents, and our neighbors, know us for the pets that we offer for adoption, and perhaps for our requests for money (we are not regularly funded by any government agency at any level). We hope that more of you get to know us for our second function, education, and that you get the opportunity to hear us at an animal show, or at school, or that you may attend our dog obedience classes when we can again present them.

Sometimes you will find our animals available for adoption at 
in Washington, PA or Monroeville, PA.
