Humane Society of Freeborn County
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Freeborn County is dedicated to preventing cruelty, promoting responsible pet ownership, and ensuring every adoptable animal finds a loving, permanent home. We believe that by working together, we can control pet overpopulation and build a kinder future for animals in our community.
Our Story
Founded in 1976 by a passionate group of animal lovers, our organization has evolved from a small collective into a dedicated 501(c)3 non-profit. Through our persistent efforts and a successful partnership with the city, we have established a safe, no-kill shelter environment where animals receive the care and attention they deserve while awaiting their forever families.
How We Operate
Our work is made possible by a compassionate network of staff, volunteers, and foster homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of our residents, providing necessary veterinary care and socialization to ensure they are ready for their next chapter. As a donor-based organization, every bit of support from our community directly fuels our ability to provide for those in our care.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adopting is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, and we are here to ensure it is a success. We take great care in matching each animal with the most suitable home, ensuring that both the pet and the family are set up for a happy, lifelong partnership. Whether you are looking for a playful companion or a gentle soul, our team is committed to finding the right fit for your unique lifestyle.
