Welcome to our website! 
The Humane Society of Cambria County is here to serve both the animals and the people of Johnstown and all of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Our primary purpose is to place homeless companion animals into permanent, loving homes and to provide public education and awareness.
We have sheltered more than 136,000 stray, abused, and unwanted pets since we were founded in 1976 and that number continues to grow. The motto of the Humane Society is "Open Your Heart" and we invite you to see the wonderful animals waiting for adoption into a new family.
Along with animal adoption, the Humane Society also provides other critical services to the community. These include dog licenses, public education, spay/neuter advocacy, and animal rescue operations.

A huge thank you goes out to the PETCO Foundation for their donation of $2,146.00! This donation was made possible by funds collected at the Johnstown PETCO store during their 2011 Breeds in Need fundraiser. The homeless pets in our care truly appreciate the generosity!

Thank you to The Pittsburgh Foundation for their continued support! Grants from the Clinton Arthur Thomas and Kermit Bennett Thomas Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation help cover some of our general operating expenses.

Two Westmont Hilltop Senior’s, Julia Chessa and DeAnnah Dick, created and executed a fundraising campaign on behalf of the shelter for their senior service project. During the course of the school year the young women created donation cans and distributed them to 16 area businesses, sold homemade dog treats and “puppy chow” at school events and solicited donations of items needed by the shelter such as dog and cat food, stamps, paper towels, bleach and other necessities. Overall, they raised over $900.00 and delivered several hundred pounds of much needed items to the shelter. We are quite impressed with the time and effort that Julia and DeAnnah put into this project and thrilled with the results! It’s clear that these young women were fully committed to this project. They used unique ways to reach the public, had creative ideas and we have no doubt they will reach any goal they set for themselves. The pets can't thank you enough Julia and DeAnnah!
