Are all Humane Societies Related?

No. There is no national humane society headquarters and each humane society is privately funded by the communities which they serve. Regardless of geographical location, all humane societies are working together to provide compassionate care to the homeless animals within their individual counties.

We are networked through the Humane Society of the United States, the State Humane Association of California, The American Humane Association and the national SPCA. Woods does not receive funding from any of these organizations.

How is Woods Humane Society funded?

Woods Humane Society does not receive any form of tax money or government funding. We are wholly supported through our fees, fundraising events, private donations, graants and bequests. We rely entirely on our community for financial support. Woods Humane Society holds two main fundraising events a “Woods’ Tails of Magic” which takes place in June and is a black tie gala the “Wiggle Waggle Walk-A-Thon” which takes place in October and is a fun-family dog walk and pet fair.
