Why doesn’t the Humane Society take strays from some municipalities?
Some municipalities choose not to contract with HSHA for stray services. Thus, HSHA is unable to take in strays from these areas because we do not receive support from the municipality to care for these animals. If a citizen from a non-participating municipality is willing to pay the intake fee, and there is space available in the shelter, we may be able to accept the animal. HSHA encourages citizen in non-participating municipalities to urge their municipality to participate. Click here for help.
