About

Opening its doors in 2013, Auburn Valley Humane Society enriches the lives of companion animals and people through animal sheltering, programs and community engagement. Auburn Valley Humane Society is much more than just "the pound." AVHS is a local, independent 501c3 non-profit organization which relies on pet licensing and lost pet housing agreements with the City of Auburn, shelter services, Thrift Store sales and generous donations from the community to fund shelter operations, humane education and human services programs. AVHS also serves King and Pierce Counties for owner relinquishment and pet adoptions. Please visit auburnvalleyhs.org and be sure to follow AVHS on Facebook and Instagram.
