Welcome Friends!

Welcome to our website! The Humane Society of Cambria County is here to serve both the animals and the people of Johnstown and all of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Our primary purpose is to place homeless companion animals into permanent, loving homes and to promote public education and awareness.

We have sheltered more than 129,000 stray, abused, and unwanted pets since we were founded in 1976 and that number continues to grow. The motto of the Humane Society is "Open Your Heart" and we invite you to see the wonderful animals waiting for adoption into a new family.

Along with animal adoption, the Humane Society also provides other critical services to the community. These include dog licenses, public education, spay/neuter advocacy, cruelty investigations and animal rescue operations.

The Humane Society of Cambria County has received a grant provided by the Clinton Arthur Thomas and Kermit Bennett Thomas Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation. The Pittsburgh Foundation supports outstanding organizations in the region. Since 1945, The Pittsburgh Foundation has been connecting its generous donors with the critical needs of our community. Donors who have established funds through the Foundation can support virtually any area charitable interest in Pittsburgh or anywhere in the United States. More than 1,000 individuals, families and organizations have established funds at The Pittsburgh Foundation, which exists in perpetuity- growing each year- to provide an ever-increasing resource to benefit the community.
