Our Story
The Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center and Western PA Humane Society, each with long histories of helping animals in our community, have joined to become Humane Animal Rescue!
Earlier this year, our two organizations merged to form one of the largest animal welfare associations in Pennsylvania, tasked with providing enhanced services to domestic and wild animals alike. Humane Animal Rescue continues the legacies of the ARL & WPHS, bringing greater efficiency in animal care processes, staff training, and cutting-edge practices to one cohesive organization.
We strive to provide all aspects of care to abandoned, neglected, and injured animals; reunite lost pets with their caregivers or seek new families for them; educate the community on humane care and interactions with all animals with the goal of reducing pet overpopulation and negative relationships with native wildlife; reinforce a standard of living for animals and prevent cruelty; and provide assistance and medical care to injured, orphaned, or ill native Pennsylvania wildlife with a goal of returning them to their natural habitat. Our open door policy ensures that no animal is ever refused shelter.
