Who We Are

The Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo is a small, NO-Kill Animal Shelter. As of February 2008, we share the building with the City of Geneseo's Pound facilities. Our section of the building has four (4) dog kennels and a large cat area where the kittens and cats live in commune style. All of our funding comes from donations. We receive no City or State dollars to help us run the Shelter. All donations go directly to helping care for the needs of our animals while we look for their permanent homes. We have five part time employees that have the responsibility of keeping the shelter clean (as of February 2009), but the rest of the shelter work and fundraising is done totally by our volunteer organization. We are a growing group of caring volunteers. If you would like to help with the hands-on care of our Shelter Orphans or assist with the fundraising needs of the Humane Society, please call the Henry County Humane Society-Geneseo anytime at 309-944-4868. If you get a recording, leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as possible.

Adopting a Friend

All adoption fees are $40.00 for cats, and $75.00 for dogs. This fee includes all up to date vet work, spaying/neutering, microchipping and any other needed treatments. All animal adoptions have a contract to cover areas of care, health, return policy, and responsibility. Any animal adopted that is too young to be spayed/neutered will have a contract to insure the animal will be altered once it is old enough. The Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo does reserve the right to refuse any adoption that we determine not to be in the best interest of the animal.
