Our Story
The Hancock County Humane Foundation was established to operate the Hancock County Animal Shelter with a humane model that prioritizes the well-being of animals. Euthanasia is reserved solely for cases of suffering or when rehabilitation is not feasible. In 2016, after the operational contract was not renewed, the Foundation recognized unmet animal welfare needs and reorganized to enhance outreach efforts. Today, it connects animal welfare advocates to provide low-cost spay/neuter clinics, TNR programs, emergency medical assistance, and community education.
