The Heritage Humane Society announces its 2024 Impact Report revealing a steady flow of heartwarming adoptions, the inaugural Animal Aces Kids’ Club, a decade of the Kibble Kitchen, and much more!

In 2024, The Heritage Humane Society had 1,310 pets adopted. The community continues its momentum to adopt their pets versus shopping from breeders or stores. This approach saves pet lives and helps curb the pet overpopulation issue. The Heritage Humane Society also celebrates reuniting 239 lost pets with their owners, 43 pets transferred to rescue partners, and a 94.7% live animal outcome for a total of 1,869 pets.

Of the 1,310 pets adopted, 403 were dogs, 112 were smaller pets such as rabbits or hamsters, 22 were career cats heading to be mousers at farms and area businesses, and the largest number of adoptions were 773 cats who found their forever homes. One of the biggest highlights comes with 128 adoptions being completed at Schwartzy’s Cat Cove, centrally located at The Nautical Dog in New Town. Opened in July 2022, this outpost has been a delight to area cat lovers looking to engage with adoptable cats in an open environment.
