Arlington Humane Society

Welcome to Arlington Humane Society The Arlington Humane Society was founded in 1984 by pet industry professionals, i.e., veterinarians; kennel owners and dog trainers on the principle of Retention not Surrender. There are numerous other shelters in the local area that take unwanted pets; over 90% of which are killed. The Society is and has been a non-killing, educational Society since 1984. We will do everything within our power to help pet owners keep their pets. This includes training and problem behavior resolution programs and low cost veterinary services among many other things. Surrendering your pet to any other organization, regardless of what they say or how much money you donate is most likely a death warrant for your pet. The Arlington Humane Society is a totally volunteer organization. No one gets paid. Further, the Society operates out of donated space, donated by local kennels and veterinarians. If the Society had to pay for these facilities, staff and other
