We are a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter staffed entirely by volunteers and funded entirely on donations from the local community. It is our goal to find permanent safe and loving homes for the pets in our care.

The Hancock County Humane Society is a no-kill*, non-profit animal shelter. (We are not affiliated with, nor do we receive financial support from, the Humane Society of the United States.) This shelter has been in existence for many years and has always been staffed entirely by volunteers and funded entirely on donations from the local community. It is our goal to find permanent safe and loving homes for the pets in our care. We would also like to promote community education and awareness, including the importance of early spay/neuter of a pet and the importance of a pet wearing I.D.

Please note that we are NOT part of the Hancock County Animal Management Shelter but are a completely separate shelter, though both are located in Greenfield, IN. The number to call the county shelter is (317) 477-4637. The county shelter is responsible for dealing with stray animals in the community and other issues involving loose pets or wild animals. The county shelter is also listed on Petfinder.

*No-kill meaning healthy pets with good temperaments are kept until adopted no matter how many years it may take. We do first attempt to treat unhealthy pets whenever possible.
