Mission Statement:

Since 1908, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Palo Alto Humane Society (PAHS) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through innovative programs in intervention, advocacy, and education.
