Sheltering:The Humane Society shelter cares for over 6,000 homeless, lost, injured, and abused animals every year. Most are dogs and cats, but we never turn away an animal of any kind.
Rescue Service:The Humane Society operates an emergency rescue service 24 hours a day, seven days a week for injured, sick, and abused animals. Adoptions:The Humane Society has kittens, puppies, cats and dogs of all sizes and descriptions available for adoption at the shelter. The adoption fee of $75 pays our vets for a check-up, worming, a rabies shot, the first distemper shot, and spaying or neutering. We screen all adopters to see if they will be loving, responsible caregivers. Humane Education: The Humane Society seeks to educate both children and adults on responsible care and humane treatment of animals. Our volunteers make presentations at schools, the Public Library, Girls' Inc., daycare centers, etc. Cruelty Investigations:The Humane Society investigates all reports of neglected and mistreated animals, confiscates them when necessary, and takes abusers to court. Medical Care:The Humane Society spends over $5,000 a year of donation money for treatment of injured and sick animals. Spay-Neuter Program:Six veterinarians in Warren, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, and Simpson counties participate in the Humane Society's Prevent-A-Litter program, which offers low-cost spay/neuter certificates to individuals on limited incomes. This is run on-site in the shelter at the Spay/Neuter Clinic and is available to all residents of Warren County. Spays/Neuters for dogs are $39 and for cats are $29. If the animal is not current on Rabies Vaccine, which is required , then there is an additional $6. Nursing Home visits:Through the Humane Society's Nursing Home Visitation Program, our volunteers take shelter puppies to visit all nursing homes in the community, as well as Mediplex Rehab. |

If you have been considering a pet for yourself or your family now is the perfect time to adopt one at the animal shelter. Time is running out and their lives are on the line. Please visit the humane society on old Louisville road. The animal you save today will be your best friend for life.
