Homeless Pets Need Animal Lovers Like You

Since Heritage Humane Society is an open-admission shelter, no homeless pet is turned away from James City County, the City of Williamsburg, and York County District 1, based on age, breed, health or behavior. Because of this, approximately 1,800 lost, stray and unwanted companion animals come through our doors each year.
