What We Do

Our Humane Society operates a no-kill shelter, and we are the only animal welfare agency in Lake County that investigates cruelty, abandoned and/or abused animals.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF: CLAY CAT LITTER

CANNED DOG FOOD

EDUCATION

As part of its responsibility to educate the public regarding the proper care and treatment of pets and other animals, the Humane Society:

Provides volunteer instructors for programs in the public schools;
Provides speakers to civic organizations and other groups;
Offers "Who To Call" information about sources and agencies dealing with injured, abused, neglected, lost, found and wild animals; and
Offers pamphlets and information on the care of cats, dogs, horses and other animals.

Educators are available at no charge to teach about animal safety. This is a free program, and is appropriate for all school age children and adult programs. Our goal, as educators, is to speak with every child in Lake County about animal safety. Together with our communities' support, we hope to eliminate or to reduce the mistreatment of animals. If interested in speaking with our educator, please contact us.

LOST & FOUND

The Humane Society maintains a current list of pets which have been found or lost. If you know of a pet which as been found and the owner cannot be identified or located, or if you have lost a pet, please notify the Humane Society Shelter so that we can put the animal on our list. If you have previously listed a lost pet with us and subsequently have found it, please notify the Humane Society promptly so we can take the animal off our list. Please view the tab on this website.
