Action For Animals Humane Society, founded in 1983, is a non-profit, non-governmental humane organization. Our primary function is to care for the strayed, abused and abandoned animals of Westmoreland County. AFAHS provides temporary shelter, interim medical care, feeding, training and eventually, placement in permanent homes. AFAHS is a corporation organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

Action For Animals HS is developing other aspects of being a humane organization. Whereas fundraising will be a perpetual necessity, programs such as Adoption Promotion, Spay/Neuter Program and education are being expanded in order to better serve the pets and people of the community.
