Welcome to The Halifax Humane Society!

The Halifax Humane Society was founded in 1937 by Mrs. Elsie Beatty. Starting with a small contingent of animal lovers, Mrs. Beatty formed a board of directors and, later that year, incorporated what is now The Halifax Humane Society. Through Mrs. Beatty's efforts, the Halifax Humane Society soon became well known for helping homeless and wild animals in Volusia County, Florida.

Currently, The Halifax Humane Society receives over 17,000 animals per year. As always, their goal is to salvage and place into good permanent homes as many of these animals as possible, but the number of homeless and abused animals in the community is too great. Each year during "cat season" we continue to see an average of 1,000 cats came in each month throughout this period (May thru August). To address this growing problem, HHS continues to promote and educate the public about the benefits of spay/neuter surgery for pets.
