Located in beautiful Highland County Virginia, the Highland County Humane Society is dedicated to promoting health, safety, welfare, compassionate care and protection of animals through a cooperative engagement with Highland County, its citizens, and other like-minded animal welfare groups.

We are a group of dedicated volunteers and foster homes taking unwanted animals from the public, Highland County pound and neighboring animal shelters in Bath, Augusta, Rockingham, Page, Pendleton and Pocahontas. HCHS has no physical building but has no boundaries. Our group consists of animal lovers and each of us believes that every animal deserves a loving home. Since forming in July 2012 HCHS has taken in over 850 dogs and cats.

HCHS is a recognized 501c3 organization and is completely funded through donations, private and corporate sponsors, adoption fees and fund raising events. Your tax deductible donation provides day to day care, veterinary services, food and shelter for the animals under our protection.
