Polk County Humane Society
Our Mission
Polk County Humane Society ensures a lifetime of safety, love, and companionship for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets. We provide a safe, no-kill environment where pets can thrive while they await their second chance at a forever home.
Our History and Community
Founded in 1991 by a group of concerned citizens, our organization has grown significantly to save hundreds of animals each year. We proudly serve Polk County, Missouri, and reach into surrounding areas that often lack the resources to support animals in need.
How We Care for Our Pets
As a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on the generous support of our community, staff, and volunteers to help over 1,000 animals annually. Our skilled team maintains a clean, safe shelter environment, while our robust foster network provides loving, temporary homes that facilitate successful transitions for our animals. By promoting spay and neuter initiatives, we actively work to reduce pet overpopulation and abandonment in our region.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are committed to helping you find the right companion. Our adoption process is designed to be easy and contactless, ensuring that both you and your new pet feel confident and prepared for a happy life together. We encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet our animals so we can give you our full attention and ensure a thoughtful, lasting connection.
