We are a 100% all volunteer
group.
We are your friends,
neighbors, local businesses and corporations, all striving
to advance the humane treatment and understanding of all animals
in Madison County.
We are a non-profit,
501(c)(3), charitable organization devoted to the
prevention of animal cruelty and the betterment of all animals in our community. Our
Board of Directors meets monthly to insure these goals are
met. All members are welcome to attend these
meetings and we welcome newcomers. If you think
you'd like to attend one of our monthly meetings, please
give us a call at: 859-626-5600 So,
what is it that we do? Our current programs are
focused on reducing pet overpopulation (thereby saving
lives), by promoting humane
education in our school systems and encouraging
spaying and neutering with our Spay/Neuter
Discount Program. Additionally, through our information
networking, we can help those having an animal-related
issue of any kind, whether it be by offering advice and
information, referring services, or sometimes simply by
lending an ear.

We currently do not have a
facility to take in animals.
We are not
the county animal shelter, although we strongly support the role
they play in our community. Our primary goal is to
help decrease the number of strays and unwanted animals
euthanized ("put to sleep") at our county animal
shelter each year, by promoting humane
education and encouraging spaying
and neutering.
If you need an animal warden or are looking to adopt a dog
or cat please visit or call the local county animal
shelter on US 25 between Richmond and Berea:

We are not a radical animal rights group. The old
fashioned tainted idea that a Humane Society is over
zealous with no regard to our laws holds absolutely no
merit. Overcoming this stereotype, unfortunately, is
a battle we face everyday in our community.
We are not a government
organization, although we do receive some governmental
support.
We are not a rescue organization, although
we maintain contact with and morally support the work of
various local rescue organizations.
Murphy, our Mascot, thinks he
can handle this big rig.
