The Latest News and Information

Hi, it is Buttons, Pandi, and Cuddles Holmes. We would like to tell you about our girl Amanda Rose Holmes. Every year her high school, South Fayette, has a food drive for the Washington Area Human Society. This was the 3rd year, wow !!!!  We made 3 trips to the shelter with truck loads of pet supplies. 

Also this holiday season, me (Buttons) turned 8 years old.  When I was a puppy (8 weeks) I was left on the side of the road with my 3 brothers and 1 sister. It was a cold February night and we would like to thank the Washington Area Human Society for having their doors open for us, the discarded and unwanted ones.   

My human mom (Maria Holmes) says I am her soul mate!  The Washington Area Human Society gives hope when hope seems lost. Please think about adoption because with every life that comes into yours, your heart will grow. We must always remember to do small things with great love because many small things turn into great successes.  May this valentines day bring true forever homes to the animals. 


Maylea Ankrom of Washington celebrated her 11th birthday on January 19th at Alpine Lanes and instead of gifts for herself, she asked all of her friends to bring gifts for the animals at our shelter. Maylea made a wonderful contribution of dog food, cat food, treats, litter and also over $100.00 in monetary donations.  Our animals send a big Thank You to Maylea and all of her friends for the generous donation.

Pets for Vets!

  A new program has been developed by Suzi Smith of 84 Fitness to help pair up our US veterans with some of the veteran dogs at the Washington Area Humane Society. The veteran dogs or cats are free when the soldiers present their military ID. They are also given a free clinic membership as part of this program. This programs is a way to give back to the military men and women who have served our country and  also a way to get a deserving veteran dog into loving hands. While a fun event kicked off this new program, it is dependent on public donations to keep the program going. Please give generously to the Pets to US Vets Program. Check out the smiles on the faces of the newest "vets" who got lucky!

Local U S  Veterans Needed

The Brown family would like to thank the Washington Area Humane Society for giving us the opportunity to adopt “Taz” through the Pets for Vets program! When we found out about the program, there was no question that we were taking a trip to look at all the dogs up for adoption! After looking at a couple dogs that we really liked, there was Taz carrying his ball around in his cage- he wouldn’t put it down! That caught my eye, so we decided to spend some time with Taz. After a few minutes or so, we fell in love! He has a gentle and calm demeanor and is great with our 5 year old, Mason. Taz enjoys taking daily walks, any chance to get outside and play with his new family and to sniff and make friends with the neighborhood dogs. We can’t wait to take him on camping trips next summer- he’ll be great! Thanks again for the program and giving a Veteran, and his family, the opportunity to adopt such a wonderful addition to our family!

Sincerely,
Scott, Shannon & Mason Brown
