Welcome!

We’re so glad you’re here! At HSBC, we’re passionate about saving and protecting the lives of animals. Through education, advocacy, and encouraging social change, we work daily to strengthen the bond between humans and animals. Whether you're looking to adopt, volunteer, or learn more about our programs, you’re part of something special. Together, we’re creating a brighter future for animals in our community.

Rescuing Animals

Saving lives, one paw at a time. At HSBC, we rescue abandoned, abused, and neglected animals—offering them compassionate medical care and a safe haven until they find their forever homes.

TNR

Our Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) program humanely traps, neuters, and returns community cats to the homes they know and love, reducing overpopulation and giving these cats a chance at healthier, happier lives.

Home For Good

At the heart of our mission is finding loving, forever homes for pets in need. We work tirelessly to match each animal with the right family, ensuring a happy new beginning.

How To Help?

Whether you volunteer, donate, or foster, every act of kindness brings hope to animals in need.

At the Humane Society of Bay County, we rely on the compassion and commitment of our community to continue our lifesaving work. Every abandoned, abused, or neglected animal that comes through our doors is given a second chance — and that’s only possible because of people like you.

When you choose to get involved, you become part of something bigger. Volunteering your time can help us care for animals, run outreach programs, and support adoptions. Donations help us provide food, shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation for animals who may have never known kindness. Fostering opens your home — and your heart — to animals who need a safe place to heal and grow while they wait for a forever family.

Whether you have a few hours, a few dollars, or a place in your home to share, your contribution can change lives — theirs and yours.
