Animal Humane Society proudly partners with other shelters and rescue organizations to provide medical services and placement options that help thousands of animals find new homes each year.
Placement partners
More than 35 local rescue organizations partner with AHS to place animals that experience high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress in shelter environments. Last year, AHS transferred 96 such animals to our placement partners.

Non-traditional placement resources
Because AHS cannot accept exotic pets (reptiles, large birds like cockatoos and amazons), or livestock (chickens, pigs, and goats), we maintain connections with other animal welfare groups dedicated to finding placement for non-traditional companion animals.
