Boone Area Humane Society

Our Mission

The Boone Area Humane Society is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to the humane treatment of animals. We strive to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals while acting as a beacon of excellence in our community.

Our History and Community Impact

Founded in 1977, we believe that because humans domesticated animals, we have a profound responsibility to ensure their ongoing welfare. We serve the Boone area by responding to animal neglect and abuse calls, providing vital animal control services for Boone County, and offering a safe harbor for lost or unwanted pets.

How We Provide Care

Operating under no-kill principles, we provide a safe, loving shelter environment for animals awaiting their new families. Our dedicated team and volunteers work tirelessly to provide vaccinations, medical assessments, and essential care to ensure every animal is ready for their forever home. Beyond our facility, we also rely on our compassionate foster network to provide additional support and help save lives.

Finding Your Best Friend

We are here to help you find your perfect match, ensuring a joyful and lasting partnership between our animals and your family. Whether you are looking for a playful kitten, a loyal dog, or even a helpful barn cat, our team is committed to guiding you through a transparent and supportive adoption process. We view every adoption as an opportunity to create a new, heartwarming chapter for our shelter guests.

Get Involved

We invite you to come visit us at our 16th Street location to meet our current adoptable animals in person. You can also support our mission by volunteering your time, becoming a foster parent, or donating to help us continue our life-saving work. Please connect with us today to learn how you can make a difference in the life of a shelter animal.
