Program areas at Prince William Humane Society
The Homeless Animals Support Network (HASN) strives to ensure better lives for homeless pets and relief for low-income pet owners. Realizing that not all rescues and communities have access to needed resources, HASN is bridging the gap by advocating for and providing grant assistance and resources to underserved and impoverished communities and homeless pets throughout the state. As of Dec. 31, 2022, we have 42 affiliate partners in our Homeless Animals Support Network and we have provided 31 grants to these partners resulting in them assisting 1100 cats, 375 dogs, and 357 pet owners with medical treatments, food, supplies, adoption fees, microchips and much more.
The Warrior Buddies Family Adoption Program is designed to improve the morale and welfare of our service members and their families by bringing them unconditional love and companionship in the form of adoptable shelter pets. Prince William Humane Society believes that the families of service members also deserve the love and companionship only pets can provide, so our military family adoptions are offered at a discounted adoption fee for any homeless pet in the Prince William County Shelter.
The Poor Animals Welfare and Surgical Fund (PAWS Fund)saves the lives and limbs of sick, abused, and injured pets so that they may receive the medical treatment they desperately need, time to fully recover, and the opportunity to go on to live full and loving lives in new forever homes.
The Seniors 4 Seniors Adoption Program is based on the premise that pets provide innumerable health, social, and other benefits to the elderly including; getting more exercise, more feelings of well-being and less depression, the opportunity to love and be loved unconditionally, and even a longer, if not, much happier life. We also know that kittens, puppies, and younger pets are adopted at much greater rates than senior pets, leaving them to languish at shelters lonely and afraid or worse. Our Seniors 4 Seniors program saves the lives of homeless senior pets at the P. W. County Shelter while enriching the lives of adopters over 60 years young at no cost to the adopter for adoption or spay/neuter services.
