Carthage Humane Society
Our Mission
At the Carthage Humane Society, we are dedicated to providing a safe and loving haven for all the animals entrusted to our care. Our mission is to promote the incredible human-animal bond, ensuring every pet finds a path to a happy, healthy life.
Serving Our Community Since 1948
For over 75 years, we have been a steadfast partner to the Carthage community as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We believe that caring for animals is a joyful journey, and we are proud to serve as a no-kill shelter for pets in need.
How We Provide Care
We operate a dedicated shelter facility where our team prioritizes the well-being and long-term health of every resident. To ensure our animals are ready for their new homes, each pet receives up-to-date vaccinations, microchipping, and is spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We are also committed to preventative care, offering resources to help pet owners keep their companions safe and secure for life.
A Joyful Partnership
Adoption is about finding the perfect match, and we are here to guide you through that special process. We take pride in our thoughtful approach to matching pets with their new families, fostering connections that enrich both human and animal lives. Whether you are looking for a playful young dog or a seasoned companion, our team is dedicated to making the transition into your home a seamless, rewarding experience.
