Hancock County Humane Society

Hancock County Humane Society We are a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter run entirely by volunteers, funded entirely on donations.

The Hancock County Humane Society is a no-kill*, non-profit animal shelter located in Greenfield, Indiana. (We are not affiliated with, nor do we receive financial support from, the Humane Society of the United States.) We are currently open by appointment only, to meet available pets for adoption. This shelter has been in existence since 1977 and has always been staffed entirely by volunteers and

funded entirely on donations from the local community (we do not receive public or government funding). We are a registered 501(c)3 organization listed on GuideStar. It is our goal to find permanent safe and loving homes for the pets in our care. We average 30-40 cats in our shelter and with foster volunteers. Our average intake of cats in a year, and adoptions of pets, is approximately 200. With the recent addition of a medical isolation suite to our facility, our volunteers in cooperation with local veterinarians are able to provide the daily care necessary to help more sick animals become healthy, adoptable pets. We work with other local shelters and rescue many cats from facilities who are sometimes forced to euthanize animals due to illness or space limitations. Please consider helping us with our mission, by donating via Facebook, PayPal, or our Amazon Charity List (links on the "How to Help" tab on our website).

*No-kill meaning healthy pets with good temperaments are kept until adopted no matter how many years it may take. We diligently attempt to treat unhealthy pets whenever possible.

They are sweet, playful, cuddlebugs. So whether you want one kitty or two, come meet Peter and Paul. We think they're purrfect and you will too (or two). 😻😻

Freddie was so helpful with the holiday photo shoot. Thanks Freddie!

Meet Ginger Spice! She really loves this scratching post. Turn up volume to hear her soundtrack.

Eleanor Rigby is more interested in playing. She is still a kitten at only 6 months old & a real sweetheart.
