DeKalb Humane Society
Our Mission
At the DeKalb Humane Society, we are deeply passionate about providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for the cats and dogs in our care. Our mission is to help every animal find the compassionate forever family they truly deserve.
Our History and Dedication
Founded on December 23, 1975, and granted 501(c)3 status in 1976, we have spent nearly 50 years serving the DeKalb County area. As a no-kill shelter, we are fully committed to advocating for animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and the prevention of animal neglect.
How We Care for Animals
Our facility in Auburn, Indiana, serves as a safe haven where we prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of our residents. Beyond providing shelter, we actively educate the community on the importance of spaying and neutering to help manage the pet population humanely and responsibly.
Your Role as a Partner
Adoption is a beautiful, life-changing journey that creates a lasting bond between you and your new companion. By adopting from us, you gain a loyal friend and directly contribute to our ongoing mission, helping us raise awareness and save more lives. We focus on thoughtful matching to ensure a happy, lifelong success story for both you and your pet.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Are you ready to find your next best friend? We invite you to view our Adoptable Animals, learn more about our adoption process, or visit our shelter in Auburn to meet the many wonderful animals currently waiting for their forever homes. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these innocent animals.
