Founded in 1897, the Humane Society for Southwest Washington is the largest and oldest animal welfare organization in Southwest Washington. HSSW is an independent nonprofit with campuses in Vancouver and Longview, Washington. Each year, HSSW cares for thousands of pets. We provide shelter to lost and stray animals, a refuge from abuse and neglect, essential medical care, and a lifesaving second ch

ance. Our commitment to the pets and people of Southwest Washington extends beyond the shelter, providing critical support to pets and families with Wellness Clinics, pet food assistance, spay/neuter, emergency boarding, financial assistance, and other programs that help keep families together. We also own and operate ReTails Thrift Store. Giving new life to gently-used items, every purchase and donation at ReTails supports our lifesaving work with the animals.

Jacklynn may look a bit nervous in some of her photos and that's because she is. The shelter environment can be a lot! She's starting to come around though. Going on runs with volunteers, exploring our outdoor enrichment area, wagging her tail at the sight of a leash…But she's still a little nervous, and that's OK.

The best version of Jacklynn? She's saving that for her person. The one who brings her home, goes at her pace, and gets to watch her finally come out of her shell.

That could be you. Learn more at hssw.org/dogs
