Mission Statement

To provide a safe haven for ALL animals in the Lehigh Valley. To be the leading advocate for breeds such as pit bulls that often are left behind or ignored by other shelters. To provide state of the art medical care for all animals and to offer financial assistance to those pet owners who cannot afford veterinary care for their pets. To match responsible pet seekers with their next best friend in order to find the perfect home for the animals in our care. Investigate any and all reported animal cruelty cases, prosecute, rescue and rehabilitate all animals that suffer from cruelty situations.

Description

The Lehigh Valley Humane Society is a 24/7 organization. We rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving forever homes for over 3,000 abandoned and unwanted animals per year. We provide high quality veterinary care, behavioral enrichment and foster placement for the pets in our care. The LVHS also offers lost pet services, pet surrender services, dog training, and grooming. We are the only organization in the Lehigh Valley to offer a full-service Community Vet Clinic, which brings
affordable vet care to owned pets. The LVHS employs the only Humane Society Police Officer in Lehigh County, who is dedicated to investigating cases of animal cruelty or neglect within the county. We also run a Community Cat Program, which spays/neuters and vaccinates feral and freeroaming cats in the City of Allentown at no charge to residents. Within our adoption program, our full-time Adoption Specialist works hard to ensure that our animals are adopted into loving homes that are just right for them. We will work to reduce the number of homeless animals in the Lehigh Valley by educating the community, offering low cost medical services and through our adoption processes. We will continue to support prosecution of any and all reported animal cruelty cases, and the rescue and rehabilitation of all animals that suffer from cruelty situations.
We are very proud of the work we do and we welcome you to become a part of it!

I love that this organization helps animals in need. Most people turn a blind eye when a cat or dog or any animal for that matter is in distress. I support the cause, my only downside is the fee you must pay to volunteer . Most people don’t have the money to donate, and are really only looking to provide with what they do have. Time. But other than that, this is a fine organization!
