Philosophy/Belief Statement:

We are dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, to providing shelter and care for lost and unwanted animals, to implementing educational programs and services, to promoting responsible pet ownership including population control (spaying and neutering are a must), and to placing animals in humane environments. The Humane Society of McCormick County is an advocate for animals - speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Program History:

The Humane Society of McCormick County is a private, non-profit, no-kill organization formed in September 2000. We are staffed 100% by volunteers and we raise every penny ourselves as we live in a very poor county where 54% of the population is poverty level or below. The county has no money for an animal control officer or shelter. We are all our county has for any help with animals. We approach this problem through our "No more litters....fix your critters" low to no cost spay/neuter program. Over 500 animals have been altered in the past year free of charge to those who qualified for it.

Events:

Walking the dogs, caring and feeding the animals, cleaning the pens
