The Kalamazoo Humane Society (KHS) was founded in 1897 and has served the community for over 100 years in the area of animal welfare and protection. The KHS is a leader in animal cruelty prevention, pet population control and humane education.

As a non-sheltering facility, the KHS works with the Kalamazoo County Animal Control Department to address the needs of stray and homeless animals, to eliminate animal suffering and to provide pet adoption counseling to citizens interested in adopting a pet.

The KHS is not affiliated with any other local or national humane organization. The KHS is a local, private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and receives no federal or state funding.
