Euthanasia & Cremation

Losing a family pet is just like losing a member of the family. When the time comes to make a decision to put your pet to sleep, the Humane League offers humane euthanasia and cremation services. We conduct humane euthanasia with dignity and sensitivity; two caring staff members are present in a quiet and calm room to be with your pet as he or she crosses over the Rainbow Bridge. We also contract with Pet Memorial Services in order to offer communal and private cremation options after your pet has passed. Please refer to the fee charts below for specific prices, depending on your situation. You can reach the Humane League at (717) 393-6551 if you have any additional questions or concerns.
