Boone Area Humane Society
Our Mission
The Boone Area Humane Society is a dedicated non-profit organization focused on the humane treatment of animals. We strive to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pets, acting as a compassionate resource for our community.
Our History and Purpose
Since our founding in 1977, we have believed that humanity has a fundamental responsibility to ensure the welfare of the animals we have domesticated. We address a critical community need by providing animal control services for Boone County and operating a shelter for lost, found, and unwanted pets.
Our Care Model
Following no-kill principles, we serve as an example of excellence in animal care and humane education. Our shelter environment provides a safe place for animals, supported by a network of volunteers who help with socializing and daily care. We also maintain a robust foster program, offering a short-term, life-saving option for those who cannot commit to permanent adoption.
The Joy of Adoption
Finding a new best friend is a rewarding journey, and our team is committed to making that partnership a success. We take great pride in getting to know each animal’s unique personality to help ensure they find the perfect family. By choosing to adopt, you are not just giving a pet a forever home, but you are also supporting our vision of increased community involvement and population control.
Join Our Mission
Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in becoming a foster, or looking to volunteer your time, there are many ways to make a difference. Please come in to visit our adoptable animals during our open office hours or check out our latest shelter updates on social media. We invite you to join our community today and help us provide the loving care every animal deserves.

10/27 - 😾➡️😻 From HISS to KISS! Meet Rango! 💕 When Rango first arrived at BAHS, he was sick, scared, and convinced humans were pretty scary! But a little time in foster care worked wonders, and look at him now! 🥹❤️ This sweet boy has traded his hisses for purrs, loves lap snuggles, playtime, and treats! He may still need a little time to feel safe in a new home, but once you earn his trust, you’ll have a friend for life! 🐾 Could you be Rango’s happily ever after?

10/13 - 📣 ROOSEVELT HAS SOMETHING TO SAY! 🍼🐱 Can you help little Roosevelt? This tiny guy is making some BIG noise because we're almost out of kitten formula! 😿 Roosevelt is just ONE of 10 tiny bottle babies who still need formula to grow big and strong. These little ones depend on us to keep their tiny tummies full, and we could really use your help! ❤️ 🍼 You can send kitten formula directly to the shelter through either our Amazon wishlist or our Hazel's wildlife wishlist (cheaper option). Check on the links in our bio! Every bag of formula makes a difference for these little ones! Thank you for helping us keep Roosevelt and all his tiny friends fed, growing, and thriving! 🐾❤️ #BooneHumaneSociety #BottleBabies #HelpTheKittens #Kittenseason2026
