Humane League of Lancaster County
The Humane league of Lancaster County was founded in 1917 to "prevent animals from becoming homeless through providing services and education to help people understand how to provide responsible lifetime care to their animals".〔(About Us ). humaneleague.com〕 It is based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
==Early history==
On May 3, 1917, Miss Maud Haldeman (1874–1931), along with seventeen other women, formed the Woman's Humane League of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The organization's stated purpose was as follows:
This corporation is founded for the prevention of cruelty to, and care of, children, girls, aged persons, and animals within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and to enforce all laws enacted by the Pennsylvania legislature or by Congress for the protection of the children, girls, aged persons and animals〔Woman's Humane League of Lancaster County Records, MS 46, Archives & Special Collections Department, Shadek-Fackenthal Library, Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, PA, 2006.〕
As social service agencies began to address the problems of woman and children, the League turned its attention exclusively to animal welfare. Although for 20 years complaints were investigated and resolved, no shelter was available for homeless animals until 1937, when animals were temporarily housed in kennels, fairgrounds and other locations in the area.(). A "Men's Advisory Committee" was formed in 1946 to assist the ladies, and soon thereafter, in 1947, the word "Woman's" was omitted from the name and formally changed to The Humane League of Lancaster County.
Since April 2006, Franklin and Marshall College, Archives & Special Collections Department, Shadek-Fackenthal Library, has been the official custodian of the records of the Woman's Humane League of Lancaster County.
