About Us
A Winning Team
We have four part-time employees and some very dedicated volunteers that donate their time and money to the needs of our furry friends. Our goal is to provide for the welfare of animals and to promote public education for responsible pet ownership.
Our History
Pope County Humane Society was established in 1985 and incorporated in 1987. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to caring for lost, abandoned, and stray animals. Seeing a need for an energetic nonprofit to support our community's animals, we formed our organization to provide solutions for animals in need. We've grown considerably since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
Animals Are Our Mission
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for the animals coming into our care at PCHS. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us do meaningful work.
Help Our Cause
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet the needs of each animal and improve conditions at the shelter. Every little bit helps us provide a safe place for the animals that come in to our care at PCHS.
