The Hancock County Humane Foundation (formerly Hancock County Animal Shelter Foundation) was established in 1992 after a county resident visited the shelter and felt we as a county could do better for our animals.
Starting out in a small windowless building, the Foundation secured a better facility for the animals and worked to raise the save rate for our county's animals by implementing new programs in adoption, fostering, spay and neuter and community education.
For more than 20 years, the Foundation worked towards a goal of not killing animals for space and convenience. Instead, we were able to provide veterinary and behavioral care for dogs and cats for issues that would have gotten them killed in the old shelter model, reserving euthanasia for only those cases where an animal was suffering needlessly or was a danger to others with no hope for rehabilitation.
