Woods Humane Society has been opening homes and hearts to homeless pets in San Luis Obispo County since 1955. Their mission is simple: to serve, protect and shelter homeless companion animals; to place animals into humane environments; to promote responsible pet ownership, provide humane education, and reduce animal overpopulation; and to celebrate the human-animal bond. Each year at their facilities Woods cares for over 3,000 cats and dogs until they can be united with loving forever families and their medical team has performed nearly 40,000 spay/neuter surgeries since its opening in 2007.
