ABOUT LCHS Our Mission: Rescue, rehabilitate & educate; fostering a kinder community for people and their pets. Formed in 1960, the Leon County Humane Society is Tallahassee's largest no kill, non-profit animal welfare organization. We are dedicated to saving Tallahassee's homeless pets through programs such as Spay/Neuter Assistance, our free Pet Pantry, Rescue Ride transports, and Humane Education initiatives. Our Foster Program places more than 600 pets every year and we are an Emergency Placement Partner with the Humane Society of the United States. The Leon County Humane Society works closely with other animal welfare agencies in the community to save lives by transfering animals into our Foster Program from other shelters that euthanize for space, including the Tallahassee Animal Service Center (City Shelter).
