About Us

The Marin Humane Society offers refuge, rehabilitation, and support services to more than 10,000 domestic animals and wildlife each year through a myriad of community services, including adoptions, foster care, behavior and training, humane education, pet assistance for people in need, lost-and-found pet services, low-cost clinics, and more. In addition to our role as non-profit animal shelter, MHS is responsible for upholding county and municipal animal services ordinances through a Joint Powers Agreement contract with the County of Marin.

As partners in animal advocacy, collaborative efforts between MHS and Marin’s elected officials have resulted in the adoption of progressive animal protection ordinances. In fact, Marin County is well-regarded as a model community for enacting progressive animal legislation.

A 2008 Grand Jury report praised the Marin Humane Society’s dual role as animal services and nonprofit animal shelter. The report concluded that “MHS is an important community asset, and the citizens, pets and wildlife of Marin are better off for it.” In addition, according to a Marin Independent Journal poll (4/12/08), more than 87% of respondents think that the Marin Humane Society is “doing a good job.”
