FOSTER HOMES

You can help our volunteer group save adoptable dogs, puppies, cats and kittens from being euthanized and give them the opportunity of a bright future. Our foster families ensure that these guys have a secure haven until they can be adopted into forever homes or transported to rescue groups .Cats and Kittens are housed at our new headquarters at 1176 North Gardner, in Scottsburg. Dogs and puppies are housed at our Volunteer's Foster Homes until they are are adopted of shuttled to a rescue group. We provide the food, supplies, and medical care. You supply the love, attention, socialization and patience.  The rewards are incredible - a wet kiss, a purr, a wagging tail, and the knowledge that your foster dog or cat is going to a "forever" home.

 

For more information Contact Us or call 812-752-7500. 

HELP AT ADOPTION FAIRS

We always need volunteers to help at adoption Fairs. We hold these functions nearly every Saturday of the Month at various locations and occasionally we are asked to participate in special event adoption fairs locally.  

  

Many of our Foster Homes bring their Foster Dogs and Cats and we need additional individuals to help screen prospective adopters, walk the pets, and various other duties which are necessary.

TRANSPORT HELP

Rescue is a very important part of most humane societies and the Humane Society of Scott County, Indiana. feels the same way.    

Without the many groups that we work with in various states, many of our animals would never have the chance to find good homes. We work with groups in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky on a regular basis. The groups that we work with are completely checked out to be sure they are good, solid organizations who will find the best possible homes for the animals we send their way. Most of the time they will meet us half way so that the transport time is shorter.     

You Can Help by becoming a transporter in our underground railroad. Normally we may go as far as far as Rennsselaer or Lafayette, Indiana and the animals are transferred to another road warrior who hands them off to another who meets with the receiving rescue group.     

If you drive a smaller car, you can still help on the shorter runs with fewer animals!  

We have purchased a 15 Passenger Cargo Size Van which can be used to transport dogs and some cats to the above Rescues. Often we meet Rescue Groups and transfer the animals to their Van. 

We need drivers to help drive or copilot with a driver.

   

For more information call or e-mail us and one of our volunteers will contact you. 

HELP WITH CAT ADOPTION

Our Cats Have a NEW home, and we need volunteers to help at our New Humane Society Adoption Center located at 1176 North Gardner (Hwy31) in Scottsburg.    

At the end of November 2018 we moved to our new building which is still under renovation, located at 1176 N. Gardner in Scottsburg.    

Maybe you can give one evening a week or month but your help is needed to socialize the cats, help with adoptions and feed the cats. 

Contact us at 812-752-7500 or drop by.
