Humane Society Of Hancock County

The Humane Society and SPCA of Hancock County does not receive any tax money nor any financial support from national organizations such as the HSUS or the ASPCA. We rely on our community for support to continue our mission of humanely providing for and protecting unwanted, lost and abused animals in our county.

Shelter life can be very stressful for animals. Our Pet Pal program enlists the help of volunteers to provide much needed enrichment to dogs in our facility. Pet Pals will interact with dogs by playing outside, taking walks, and relaxing in our Serenity Room. Our Cat Cuddlers provide interaction and socialization to adoptable cats in our facility.

The Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County hopes to decrease the number of homeless animals by providing access to high quality, low cost spay and neuter services. Surgeries are performed in the Kirk Surgery Suite at the shelter by highly skilled, licensed veterinarians. The same high quality products and instruments that are found in full-service veterinary facilities are used in our clinic.

Animal Control is responsible for all statutes and ordinances relating to the confinement and licensing of dogs. Humane Agents within the Animal Control Department investigate all claims of animal cruelty or neglect and respond to reports of injured or sick companion animals. Whether finding a stray animal or needing surrender your pet, all animal surrenders enter through the Animal Control Department. Animal control maintains records of lost and found animals in our community and diligently tries to reunite lost pets with their owners.

The Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County provides animal control services for Hancock County. Hancock County Animal Control is tasked with enforcing state and city ordinances pertaining to dogs running at large, registration of dogs, vicious/dangerous dogs, and investigation of animal bites. Complaints pertaining to dogs can be made by contacting the animal control office at 419-423-1664 Ext.
