Humane Society Of The White Mountains: A Case Study

The Humane Society of the White Mountains is a non-profit 501c3 organization that has taken the lead in providing services to all of the homeless animals in our area. The Humane Society of the White Mountains was incorporated in 1970, and founded by a group of caring and dedicated individuals, who were concerned with the plight of homeless animals in our area. We are dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, and finding loving forever homes for abandoned and abused animals. Our organization provides services to Navajo County, Apache County, and the White Mountain Apache Reservation, located in Northeastern Arizona. The total population estimates for our service area is 192,306, increasing substantially in the summer months.

Many of these animals are rescued from the surrounding forest areas, the Apache reservation, the streets, and from the careless people who neglect and abuse their animals. Our efforts help save them from their struggle with starvation, neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
