The Humane Society of Western Montana was incorporated in 1963 as the Missoula Humane Society. Historically, the Humane Society saw over 8,000 ANIMALS A YEAR. But through the efforts of our members and founders, rallying for responsible pet ownership and spaying and neutering, THESE NUMBERS HAVE DECLINED TO AROUND 1,350 ANIMALS ANNUALLY. Because of the awareness and care of our community, we guarantee the adoption of all adoptable pets. The Humane Society of Western Montana is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We receive no government funding, and rely solely on the donations of our generous community members, events, membership fees and funds received through grants. We are governed by our member-elected Board of Directors.
