Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:

The Bartholomew County Humane Society is a non-profit organization that cares for homeless strays in the Bartholomew County area. We greatly depend on donations to properly care for all of our rescued animals asking for a second chance.

About Our Shelter:

The Bartholomew County Humane Society was established in 1966 to provide humane support, care, shelter, and medical attention to abandoned and homeless animals, to place adoptable animals in permanent homes, and to promote education for responsible pet ownership.

We also work with a low-cost spay/neuter clinic once a month to help reduce unwanted reproduction for members of the public.

Come Meet our Pets:

Come meet our adoptable pets during our open hours: 12pm-6pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We are also open 10am-12pm on Saturday.

Some adoptable pets are listed at www.happydog.petfinder.com but there are always between 100-200 available at the shelter. Visit them at 4110 E 200 S, Columbus, IN.

Our Adoption Process:

Our regular dog adoption fee is $115. This includes their annual vaccine & booster, rabies vaccine, spay/neuter, heart worm test, micro-chip, wormer, flea medication, a leash, and a starter adoption kit!

Our regular cat adoption fee is $115. This includes their annual vaccine & booster, rabies vaccine, spay/neuter, fiv/feleuk test, micro-chip, wormer, flea medication, a cardboard carrier, and a starter adoption kit!

Monthly promotions vary and reduced adoption fees apply.

To adopt an animal from the BCHS, an Adoption Application has to be filled out. This requires a $20 deposit which is credited to the entire adoption fee. A waiting period of at least one business day is needed for application approval and spay/neuter surgery.

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
