About Us

cinderella drinks from the faucet

Our mission is to bring people and animals together to enrich each other's lives.

Our Story:

The Humane Society of Western Montana was incorporated in 1963 as the Missoula Humane Society and its parent organization was taking care of animals in Missoula at least since 1933. Historically, our shelter saw over 15,000 animals a year. But through the efforts of our members and founders, rallying for responsible pet ownership and spaying and neutering, these numbers have declined to around 1,500 animals annually. Because of the awareness and care of our community, our placement rate is 65-75%, well above national averages. The Humane Society of Western Montana is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We receive no government funding, and we rely solely on the donations of our generous community members, membership fees and funds received through grants. We are governed by our member-elected Board of Directors.

What we do:

We are an open-admission shelter that does not refuse any animal surrendered to us, regardless of size, age, temperament, or location at which it was found. In 2004, we took in nearly 1200 animals. Most of the animals we see are dogs and cats, but we do accept birds, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs. We offer the community a variety of educational programs, and, of course, we have a companion animal adoption program.
