We are a non-profit, donor-supported humane rescue organization. Since 1924, the Glendale Humane Society has provided shelter for unwanted dogs and cats. Glendale Humane is a No-Kill facility. We care for our animals until they are placed in loving, permanent homes.


We are proud to feed EaglePack Holistic Pet Food.

Featured Dog of the Week


Glendale Humane Society

Hobo


Hobo was brought to us by a neighbor of his. The family had allergies to Hobo and were planning on taking him to the desert to leave him. Fortunately for Hobo he got a second chance. Thankfully temporarily he was taken in by the kind neighbor. He is now safe at GHS and we are looking to rehome him to a home where commitment is understood and practiced. This handsome Aussie/Chow mix was born in September of 2006. Hobo enjoys playing with other dogs and would do well in a multiple dog household. In his previous home Hobo lived with children - all in all he seems very well adjusted. Come meet Hobo if you think you could give him the home he deserves. Please read on if you think Hobo is the boy for you. »
