About this shelter

Humane Society of Western Montana in Missoula, MT

The Humane Society of Western Montana is a humane society located in Missoula, Montana, about 6 miles northeast of the city, offering pet adoption services, low-cost veterinary care, and training and behavior services to the Missoula and Western Montana community. It is open Wednesday through Sunday from 1:00 to 6:00 PM. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit that receives no government funding, HSWM relies solely on donations, events, and grants to support its work, which in 2025 included thousands of adoptions, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgeries for dogs, cats, and small animals. The organization also partners with Petco Love Lost to help reunite lost and found pets with their owners.
