- ADOPTION The primary purpose of Berkeley Humane is to shelter homeless companionanimals until they are placed in suitable homes. In the 1970s, the Board of Directors committed to a revolutionary adoption guarantee model: that no healthy or treatable shelter animals in the Society's care would be euthanized. This commitment set the stage for Berkeley Humane placing 100% of healthy and treatable animals into loving homes for nearly forty years, a commitment that awarded Berkeley Humane and partner organizations the prestigious Maddies Fund Lifesaving Award in 2009. Berkeley Humane serves the animals and people of Berkeley and the East Bay with vital services that last year alone matched over 1,000 animals with loving families and individuals.Expenses $717,718 · revenue $82,300
