Euthanasia Services

The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area understands how difficult and costly it can be to put a beloved animal to sleep.  To aid in the process, HSHA offers affordable and humane euthanasia and cremation services.

Appointments are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9-11am.  Pet owners are not permitted to be present during euthanasia.  Caskets are also available for purchase through HSHA.  To schedule an appointment, call HSHA at (717) 564-3320.

Fees

Feral Cats
HSHA does not accept feral cats to be euthanized.  The organization only accepts feral cats to be altered and returned to the place from which they came (known as “Trap-Neuter-Return” or “TNR”).  In order to receive a FREE Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) surgery for a feral cat, you must obtain a TNR Voucher from the municipality in which you reside.  Only municipalities that contract with HSHA for services will have these vouchers to distribute.  Each municipality will also determine how many vouchers may be distributed per individual.  To find out if your municipality contracts with HSHA for services and if they are distributing TNR vouchers, contact your municipal building directly after January 1, 2011.  Citizens who do not have access to TNR Vouchers may continue to participate in HSHA’s TNR Program on a paid basis.  Costs are $40 for a neuter and $60 for a spay, plus additional costs for FeLV/FIV testing and basic vaccinations.  An appointment is required for TNR services (regardless of whether you have a voucher).  To schedule an appointment, please call HSHA at (717) 564-3320 and follow the recorded prompts.
