The Society's activities cover a broad spectrum of animal related topics. The Humane Society enjoys a reputation of professionalism as well as compassion. In addition to offering guidance about spay and neuter procedures, the Humane Society of Shelby County sponsors educational programs that cover the full range of pet ownership issues. Our education department visits school classrooms on a regular basis. Stray animal are not the only cause of animal overpopulation.
Many pet owners refuse to have their animals spayed or neutered.
We work in conjunction with most of our local Vets to educate the community about spaying and neutering, and to provide assistance with the financial and emotional needs owners may have. If you feel that burial would not be an appropriate choice, or if not feasible, cremation has become an increasingly popular choice. Using modern technology which is friendly to the environment as well as dignified for your pet, cremation offers a practical and fitting solution to both disposal and maintaining the memory of your pet. The Society works hard to match the right pet with owners. Mobile adoptions are held at various locations each month.
