Rescue FAQs

The Humane Society of Jackson County's Mission is to prevent neglect, cruelty and exploitation of animals. We assure that their interest and well being are fully, effectively and humanely protected by providing care, shelter, spay & neuter, and education. Our Vision is to be the model Humane Society shelter of the state that shall provide for the well being animals of Jackson County. Our ultimate goal is to one day have an adoption location, but in the interim we save animals by means of our foster license through The Department of Agriculture. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
