Welcome to the Auburn Valley Humane Society

Who is AVHS?

A group of concerned community members and seven Auburn veterinarians have teamed together to help solve a need. They have put together a non-profit group called the Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS) to establish a local animal shelter aimed at caring for Auburn's lost, stray and abandoned pet population.

This is more than just "the pound". It's a community education center where pets and people can come together. You can expect pet related seminars from local veterinarians and staff - topics ranging from grooming to diabetes, plus weekend dog walking events, kitty calming visits, service dog information and pet related events.

The AVHS will create sustainable employment and offer countless volunteer opportunities for community members and even those considering a career working with animals.

AVHS has asked the City of Auburn to join us in a partnership with the common goal of improving animal control, care, and life for shelter animals.
