At the Madison County Humane Society, our mission is to help homeless cats and dogs find loving forever homes while advocating for the humane treatment of every animal. We are dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership and helping lost pets reunite with their families.
Founded in 1973, we have served as a private, no-kill animal rescue and shelter in Anderson, Indiana for over 45 years. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we operate entirely on the generosity of our community through donations and fundraising, receiving no taxpayer monies to sustain our vital work.
Our facility serves as a safe haven for 100-115 homeless animals every single day, with many others thriving in our supportive foster care network. We provide medical attention, nutrition, and daily care, ensuring every animal receives the attention they deserve while they wait to meet their new families.
We believe that successful adoptions are built on thoughtful, intentional connections rather than a first-come, first-served approach. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through our application process, helping to ensure a lifestyle fit that guarantees a happy, lifelong partnership for both you and your new furry friend.
We invite you to experience the joy of adoption by browsing our current list of available cats and dogs. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer your time, or support us through a donation, you are making a life-changing difference for the animals in our care. Visit us in Anderson to meet your new best friend today!
