Formed by members of the community who were concerned about animal welfare, the Upper Credit Humane Society (UCHS) got its start in 1991 as the Erin and Hillsburgh and District Humane Society (EHDHS).  The primary focus was the welfare of local wildlife and animal cruelty investigations.

 

Today, the UCHS is proud to care, protect, educate and serve to provide for the humane care of animals and encourage responsible pet ownership.

With a focus on education and community involvement, the UCHS reinforces its message of responsible pet ownership with an emphasis on safety, respect, care and compassion towards animals.

 

Since it was incorporated in 2003, the UCHS has found homes for more than 5,000 animals. While the majority of animals at the shelter are cats and dogs, the UCHS also finds homes for other animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchilla, rats and birds.

The UCHS receives no funding from the government and relies on the support of donors and volunteers to maintain the operation.

The Thrift Shop

 

The Upper Credit Humane Society Thrift Shop is our largest source of revenue, contributing funds to cover approximately 35% of our annual shelter operating expenses.

 

The store is staffed entirely by volunteers and all money raised at the Thrift Shop goes to support the UCHS.

 

Please support us by donating your gently used clothing and household items any time we are open.

 

We are always looking for enthusiastic people who love animals to work in our store. If you enjoy meeting people and working with a great team, then this could be the place for you.

 

he Thrift Shop holds a monthly auction on the last Saturday of each month, with the exception of December.

THIS IS A GOOD THING
