Humane Society of the White Mountains

The Humane Society of the White Mountains will continuously improve the standard of care for all pets by educating our communities on quality companion animal care, and be the voice of the voiceless pets, striving always to stop pet cruelty and neglect.

Our humane society shelters over 1,000 animals per year. We are the only humane society in Navajo and Apache counties, covering over 21,000 square miles! Many animals that come to us are strays found on the streets as a result of neglect and abuse from uncaring owners. The Humane Society of the White Mountains saves them from their plight of starvation, abandonment or worse. Our shelter accepts all companion animals and as our community continues to grow, so does the number of animals that come through our doors. These animals depend on the generosity and compassion of people like you!

As part of our mission to educate the public we hold a Critter Camp for children with the goal of educating them on the proper care of animals and the importance of spaying/neutering and vaccinations. We recognize that the children in our community are our future and it is our job to teach them compassion and care for all animals. This program has had a very positive impact on the children and their families.

We also apply for grants to help with other outreach programs, such as our spay/neuter program. For 2023/2024 we received $20,000.00 to help our community with spay and neuters with this  grant we were able to help the community spay and neuter over 475 cats and dogs! We also received a $10,000.00 for 2024/2025 to assist with our community with spay and neuters to which we have done 110 cats and dogs. 

On August 23rd we will be having our 20th Annual Happy Tails Auction and BBQ to help promote and support the Humane Society of the White Mountains!

Thank you for all you have done. WMHS changed our family when we were allowed to adopt Jack (was called Nugget) a few years ago. Our grandchildren absolutely love him and are truly best friends. He is spoiled rotten.???? Becky Meyer
