About Huntington County Humane Society

The Huntington County Humane Society is a private, independent, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. We rely heavily on the limited revenue generated by our programs and fees, and on the tremendous generosity of our community. We serve the entire county of Huntington, Indiana. We are contractually funded by the city and county of Huntington to provide animal control and enforce animal related ordinances. This contractual funding helps to support our ability to pay for costs related to animal control such as maintaining vehicles, fueling vehicles, providing officer training and education, providing phones for police dispatch communication, housing homeless animals brought in as a result of calls, and partially funding payroll for our officers.
The majority of the animals at our shelter are cats and dogs, but we also provide temporary care and coordinate safety services for farm animals and other small pets brought in as a result of animal control investigations of cruelty and neglect.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

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.
