FAQs

Glendale Humane has been helping families find their companion animals for ninety-nine years. We are one of the oldest Humane Societies in California. We have extended our mission to assist families whose companion animals need medical assistance. Right here in our own backyards we have loving families unable to afford medical help – help that could save their dear pet’s life.

We have teamed with veterinarians who have clients in need of financial assistance for their four-legged family member. These clients are wonderful pet parents who need a little help from their friends.
