In 2025, the Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW) served more than 16,000 pets in Southwest Washington, guided by a mission to rescue, return, restore, rehome, and reconnect — one animal at a time. With campuses in Vancouver and Longview, they provide shelter for lost and stray pets, refuge from abuse and neglect, essential medical care, and a second chance for a happy home.

The support HSSW offers doesn't stop at the shelter. In 2025, HSSW opened the Nierenberg Community Veterinary Clinic (CVC) providing low-cost, high-quality veterinary care for pets. By offering affordable services such as spay/neuter, vaccines, wellness exams, microchips, and preventative care, the CVC keeps pets healthy, happy, and with their families where they belong. And thanks to two mobile veterinary clinics, HSSW brings essential care to locations throughout the community, supporting pets of families and our unhoused community with vital services like vaccines, microchips, exams, and spay/neuter for cats.

The organization also supports pet owners with free pet food through their CHOW program, emergency boarding, and other services that help ensure the bond between pets and their owners remains unbroken during difficult times.

HSSW also owns and operates ReTails Thrift Store. Every purchase and donation at the store directly supports the shelter's lifesaving work, allowing the broader community to champion animal welfare through everyday giving.

Their commitment to the pets and people of our community is felt every day. In the last two years, HSSW has been named Best Nonprofit in Clark County and Best Pet Adoption Service for seven years running — and ReTails has been named Best Thrift Store for the last nine years!
