About the WHS

webassets/IN40_9184640-1-x.jpg Warrick Humane Society was incorporated in 1983 and opened its No Kill shelter on Vann Road in 1997. Our mission is to end the animal overpopulation crisis in the community, to find homes for homeless and neglected animals and to provide educational programs and community services for the mutual benefit of animals and people.

To assist in funding our mission, WHS opened the Home Away Pet Lodge boarding and grooming spa in late 2005 next to the pet adoption center. Home Away Pet Lodge donates all of its profits to run our homeless animal shelter.

Warrick Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

The Warrick County Humane Society is a no-kill organization. Once an animal is rescued by Warrick County, it is saved for life. We will not release an animal to another organization that has a policy of euthanasia. In addition, we will only place animals with qualified prospective owners.

What We Do
... try to stop the killing over __ unwanted pets in Warrick County each year. We hope to place as many as possible in our no-kill shelter and find them wonderful loving homes. No animal will be killed while in our care.
Warrick County rescues hundreds of pups, cats, dogs and kittens each year that are brought to us by residents who can no longer care for their pets. That is why our no-kill shelter is vital to hundreds of animals that depend on us for their lives.

How We Do It
Our ongoing fund raising helps to meet our animals' needs with the best possible vet care and nutrition. Most of all, due to the efforts of our many volunteers, these dogs and cats receive lots of love and affection until they are adopted.

How You Can Help
We need YOUR continued dedication and financial support. Since we are not funded by the city or state, we rely solely on private donations to keep our shelter doors open. We desperately need your help to save these abandoned, abused and unwanted animals. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. Learn more how you can help. today.

Definition of the term "No-Kill Shelter"
A true no-kill shelter must never kill an animal, except for a humane reason, such as to end pain and suffering, and must never allow the transfer of an animal from their shelter to another facility that does euthanize animals for reasons other than those mentioned in #1. To be a true no-kill shelter must meet both criteria.
