Welcome to the HSCC's Website 
  


The Humane Society of Cambria County, Inc.
has provided 32 years of service to companion animals and the public.  Founded in 1976 by Gail Suppes and a group of others 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.

   Financial support is provided primarily by individual donations.  Membership fees, service fees, grants and fund-raising activities also help support the shelter.  The State reimburses the shelter for services provided to them.  The HSCC received no funding from the Humane Society of the United States or other national animal groups.  Being a non-governmental organization, we are not supported through tax dollars. 

  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 126,000 animals since the shelter first 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 permanent, loving homes
  • To investigate reports of cruelty to animals
  • To educate the public about responsible pet care
  • To promote awareness of the importance of spaying/neutering
  • To advocate for the humane treatment of all animals

   
   The HSCC is run by the Executive Director, and a part-time staff that includes a Humane Police Officer, a Humane Complaint Coordinator, an Office Manager, Kennel Attendants/Adoption Counselors, and other seasonal workers. 
   
   There are also part-time employment opportunities available on an occasional basis for kennel attendants.  Employment applications may be obtained at the shelter.
