Cat of the Month ~WYATT~
Wyatt
Sex: Male
Age: 2 years old
Intake Date: 11.23.09
Available Date: 11.23.09
Source: Citizen Stray
Litterbox trained: YES!
Adoption fee: $25
Wyatt is such a sweet boy! He came to us as a stray, but he has obviously been well cared for because he was chubby and already neutered! Wyatt has made a HUGE improvement from whenever he first came to us, he was very shy and liked to hide a lot. Lately though he has been out and about, he loves to walk around in the mornings and is very well behaved with other cats. Wyatt is just begging for a new chance to redeem himself as the house cat he was always supposed to be.
Dog of the Month ~JANE~
At just 18 months old, Jane is awesome ... she's great with dogs, cats and kids! We cannot believe that no one has snatched this girl up yet! She is absolutely PRECIOUS. Jane is very well behaved, and we believe that she has probably been an indoor dog before. PLEASE consider making her part of your family! You won't be sorry!!!
Save A Life & Sponsor A Shelter Pet
Our shelter always has animals in need of medical care & we always need help funding their treatments or injuries. Please view our site & animals that have ~NEED HELP~ next to their names are ones that NEED YOU!!!!!!! Right now, we have several dogs waiting for funding for heartworm treatments, people normally will not adopt a dog that comes w/ medical baggage & your donations help us, make them, more adoptable. These treatments range from $80 to $300 to treat. These are loving, adoptable animals, but they need extra money & Tender Loving Care to be able to be adopted. Please if you can donate $5.00 to help one of these animals, please do! Every little bit adds up & creates a 100% chance of these animals finding a FOREVER HOME! Thank you!Sponsor A Pet

Who We Are
The Humane Society is an independent, non-profit agency contracted by Warren County to operate the animal shelter, which we moved into in 1983. The Humane Society is not a department of city or county government. The city and county own the shelter building. The Humane Society receives funds from city and county governments to operate the shelter. This funding is used to pay for management/employee salaries, utility bills, cleaning supplies/chemicals, euthanasia solution, cat litter, fuel for rescue vehicles and building repairs/maintenance. Humane Society DONATIONS are used to pay for medical care of sick and injured animals, animal cages, incidental supplies such as food/water bowls, dog/cat treats, canned cat/dog food, dog/cat toys, supplies for fund raisers and education/outreach programs. Hill's Pet Products donates dog, cat, kitten and puppy food.
We were lucky enough to open a second building in 2004 called the Bowling Green Warren County Humane Society Adoption Center. This building has allowed us to save thousands of lives that we would NOT have been able to save otherwise. This building is COMPLETELY funded by donations, we recieve no city/county funding. In February, 2007, we dedidated our Adoption Center to Mr. Bill Hildreth and the Hildreth family. The Hildreth family founded the original Humane Society many years ago. Bill continued to support our shelter throughout his entire life. Unfortunately, Mr. Hildreth lost his battle with cancer on Saturday, September 1st, 2007. We have lost a tremendous part of our family, and we will ALWAYS be grateful to him and his family. We will love you always Mr. Hildreth!The Humane Society's mission is to provide a clean comfortable shelter for homeless, abused, lost and impounded animals of our community; to place as many of these animals as possible in loving and responsible homes and humanely euthanize those not adopted; to investigate complaints of animal abuse/neglect; and to educate the public about responsible care of companion animals, ESPECIALLY SPAY/NEUTER!

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
We need more volunteers to walk dogs and spend time with the animals at the shelter. Many dogs are housebroken, but don't even get out once a day. Other dogs could become housebroken if they were taken out each day. A form is used to keep track of which dogs have been out each day. We would like volunteers to schedule their time so there are enough volunteers each day. Volunteer manuals are available at the shelter and online. It is helpful if you can read the volunteer and shelter help manuals before volunteering. New volunteers need to schedule an orientation and/or be matched with an experienced volunteer.
