Mission: The Humane Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear.

Notes:

HSJC is preparing a plan to care for animals in the event of an emergency or disaster. Donations of products, supplies, and equipment to use during a disaster are needed. We especially need volunteers who can provide time, services, are expertise during a disaster.

In order to adopt a pet from the Humane Society of Jackson County, you will need to complete an application for adoption. This not only protects our animals, but you as an adopter, and the Humane Society. We want to be sure our animals are adopted to loving homes and will be well cared for. Adoption applications are generally reviewed for approval within 1 to 3 working days.

You must be at least 21 years of age and have identification showing your present address. If you rent your home, you must be able to provide the name, address, and phone number of the property owner or manager. Most apartment complexes have rules and restrictions regarding pets. Please check with your landlord or apartment manager before adopting a pet.

You must be willing and able to spend time with your pet. It takes an average of two months for an animal to adjust to a new home. You must also be able to afford necessary training, medical treatment, and proper care for your pet. You will need to maintain your adopted animal in accordance with the licensing and other laws of the community in which you live. All adoptions come with a spay/neuter certificate redeemable from your local vet.

No animal will be adopted to persons having a history of losing, giving away, selling, or having animals injured or killed by moving vehicles. No animals will be adopted to persons who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application. Adopters are legally bound by the terms of the signed adoption agreement and shall be subject to paying any legal fees incurred by the Humane Society of Jackson County in enforcing said agreement.
