Brown County Humane Society
Our Mission Statement: the purpose of this society is the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals and the extension of humane education.
BCHS meetings are held at 6:00pm the 3rd Monday of each month at the shelter, 2393 Mallard Rd., Hiawatha, KS . All members and the public are encouraged to attend. Come and find out our current activites and share your ideas with us.
Spay & Neuter Program:
Early in 2010 BCHS members decided to seek funding for a spay/neuter program for overpopulation in Brown County. Our members visited with the community leaders in every town in Br.Co and also Tribal authorities, We heard the same thing from everyone "Pet overpopulation is a big problem in our community." The spay/neuter program became a reality when we received a donation from the Sac & Fox Tribe specifically for spaying and neutering pets. Then in July of 2010 BCHS was notified that our spay/neuter grant application to a private foundation had been approved and we were awarded a grant for the sterilization of dogs. The funds from both Sac&Fox and the grant were used to offer reduced cost sterilization of pets owned by families that can not afford the full cost. We believe the Spay/Neuter programs were a huge success and we plan to apply for addidtional grants to allow us to continue to offer assistance.
Policy on Animals:
We currently accept stray animals brought in by animal control or police authorities from Hiawatha and surrounding communities. The shelter does not accept owner-surrender cats. This means an animal someone owns and they are choosing to get rid of them. However, there are instances when a family simply cannot keep their pet. Humanes society members try to locate homes and work with applicable rescue organizations that might accept them. The rescue groups that BCHS works with are great organizations that do their very best to ensure these animals go only to responsible new owners that will give the pet loving homes.
