Action For Animals Humane Society No-Kill Mission
“Action For Animals Humane Society was founded in 1983 to shelter and provide care for abused, abandoned and stray dogs and cats of Westmoreland County. They adopt animals into responsible homes and vigorously promote the spaying and neutering of all pets to eliminate the cruelty of animal overpopulation. As a non-profit, non-government funded, no-kill shelter who keeps animals free from the threat of unwarranted euthanasia.”
a no-kill shelter, there are limited cases when we are forced to make the difficult decision to humanely euthanize animals. These animals include those suffering with end stage medical illness or with extreme aggression who would pose a dangerous threat to human or animal lives. They have come to this decision only after exhausting all options, such as advice from veterinarians, licensed behaviorists, trainers, or attempts to place with a foster group who would have the ability to rehabilitate the animal.
Located on Route 217, just outside of Latrobe, our beautiful facilities include Tigre Pavilion (cageless open-air cattery), Blessed’s Dog Park and walking paths, private visitation rooms, and outdoor covered play areas.
