About Us

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

Our mission: Help pets in need in our community and surrounding areas through sheltering, adoption, education, spay/neuter, and community outreach.

Our goals:

-To reduce the number of animals euthanized in our community by providing the animals temporary housing, foster homes, or other suitable venues, until they can be placed in adoptive homes.

-To educate the public in areas of humane treatment of animals, the importance of spaying and neutering, the importance of pet adoption to help eliminate the need to euthanize animals due to lack of space in existing shelters and humane societies.

-To work with other humane societies, other animal rescue groups, the public, and governmental agencies to offer relief from pet overpopulation.

-To provide medical care to all animals in PCHS custody, through local veterinarians.

-To grow Pope County Humane Society to fit the needs of our community
