From its busy shelter in Jasper County the Carthage Humane Society is home to so many homeless, neglected - but wonderful - companion animals. It also plays an ever-evolving role as mediator on the changing relationship between people and animals.

​

Since 1948, the Humane Society has reached out to those who enjoy and employ animals, as well as those people who love and share their lives with them.

​

As an animal welfare organization, the Society is also very much a people business; supporting and promoting the human-animal bond.

​

The Society's mission — to provide a safe haven for animals entrusted to our care —is a joyful one full of challenges and opportunities.
