Humane Society of Henderson County
Every Animal Deserves a Second Chance
Since 1965, the Humane Society of Henderson County has been a trusted advocate for animals, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming pets in our community. We believe in saving lives every day and providing a compassionate bridge to a better future for every animal that comes through our doors.
Our History and Mission
For nearly six decades, we have remained committed to serving Henderson County as a cornerstone of animal welfare. Our mission is built on the foundation of promoting responsible pet ownership, providing vital community services, and ensuring that every animal receives the care and dignity they deserve.
How We Serve Our Community
We work tirelessly to support both people and pets, providing 365 days of Animal Control services each year. Our facility cares for over 2,600 animals annually, offering a safe environment where rehabilitation and medical care are our top priorities. Together with our community, we are proud to see 1,500 pets find loving homes every year and successfully reunite 250 lost pets with their families.
Your Partner in Adoption
Choosing to adopt is a beautiful way to change a life forever, and we are here to help you find your new best friend. We focus on creating meaningful, lasting connections by ensuring every pet is matched with a home that supports their needs. Adoption is a joyful partnership that enriches your life just as much as it changes theirs.
Join Our Mission
There are many ways to make a direct impact, whether you choose to adopt a new companion, volunteer your time, or contribute supplies from our wish list. We invite you to visit us at our Drury Lane location to meet our available animals or reach out to learn more about how you can help. Together, we make a difference in the lives of animals every single day.

9/30 - POV: you know which kennel is yours at this point It’s familiar. It’s safe. And honestly, it may be one of the only places that feels like his own. 🥺 But Rhyder deserves more than just a familiar kennel. He deserves a HOME and humans who become all he knows. 🤎 Today is the LAST DAY of Bissell reduced fees, which means it’s the perfect day to come meet this big brindle potato and give him the fresh start he’s been so desperately waiting for. He’s already made it out once, let’s make it happen again, just for good this time. 🥔 Big couch potato 🤎 Sweet, loving boy 🐾 6-ish years old 💲25 🔗 https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HHKY/Dog #AdoptRhyder #RhyderStrong #AdoptDontShop #EmptyTheShelters #BissellEmptyTheShelters #HSHC
