The Danville-Boyle County Humane Society promotes the humane treatment of animals through compassionate care, community engagement, and dedicated support. We are committed to making a difference in the lives of our local animals, one wagging tail and gentle purr at a time.
Formed in 1972 through the vision of Charlotte Bateman, our non-profit organization has served as a beacon for abandoned and unwanted domestic animals in Boyle County for over five decades. We believe in the power of community, and our facility continues to evolve to provide the best possible environment for the pets currently in our care.
Governed by a dedicated volunteer board, we operate our animal shelter with a focus on sheltering, adoption, education, and spay/neuter initiatives. We rely on a compassionate network of volunteers and foster homes to provide pets with the love, training, and socialization they need while they wait for their forever families.
Adoption is a beautiful, life-changing experience, and we are here to help you find your perfect companion. By taking the time to learn about each animal’s unique personality and needs, we help ensure a lifelong, successful match for both the pet and your family. Whether you are looking for a playful puppy, a cozy cat, or a trained companion, we are honored to help you start your journey together.
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to visit our adoption center at 778 N. Danville Bypass to see all our adoptable pets waiting for a home. You can also view our current residents online or contact us at 859-238-1117 to learn more about volunteering, fostering, or supporting our mission.
