The Starke County Humane Society is a very small, privately funded, non-profit 501(C)(3) organization that depends on the generous donations of animal lovers to continue operating. We do not receive any county funding. We strive to *Provide assistance, shelter, and humane care for all lost, abused, neglected or unwanted animals *Reunite lost pets with their families *Place homeless animals with responsible guardians through various adoption programs *Foster the humane treatment of all animals with education concerning population control, animal abuse, and ownership responsibilities *Promote SPAY/NEUTER as the BEST way to reduce the population of unwanted pets. Our hope is that one day SOON all people will realize that ALL of their PETS MUST BE SPAYED or NEUTERED, so that there will be enough loving, responsible guardians for every healthy, nonaggressive animal. This will eliminate euthanasia as a form of population control.

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.
