The Human Animal Support Services (HASS) project is a movement seeking to revolutionize the animal welfare industry by leading with and embracing a community-centric sheltering model. By providing both private and municipal community shelters with equitable access to data-driven resources, education and implementation tools, HASS aims to create pathways toward a more unified support system for pets and their people in every community.
Community services identified or developed by a shelter to assist pets and people in need.
Shelter services that prioritize reuniting pets with their families.
Programs that enable the community to participate in the process of finding new homes for their pets without having to enter a shelter.
Process taking in animals in need and identifying or placing them in the best environment available.
In an industry that has traditionally put animals first and people second, HASS believes you can’t serve one without supporting the other.
We pioneer accessible pathways that unite animal shelters with social service providers to achieve a common goal:
Save lives and support our local communities, pets and people alike.
