Our History
Originally founded in 1979 as "The Montgomery County Humane Society, Inc." the organization was reorganized and renamed "The Humane Society of the Uwharries" in 2024 after the passing of Sally Morris. We will continue to honor Sally and the founding purpose of providing care, support, and resources to animals in need in Montgomery County. As a volunteer-based organization, our success is a result of the dedication and passion of our volunteers and the unwavering support of our community.
