Who We
Are
The Joplin Humane Society is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help
protect the welfare of animals. We pursue this goal through educational programs
to teach children and adults how to be responsible pet owners, as well as caring
for many lost and abandoned pets, and by providing many new homes through
adoptions. We also aid local and state law enforcement officials in animal cruelty
investigations. We serve Jasper and Newton Counties and many of the communities
within them, including Joplin, Alba, Carterville, Duenweg, Webb City, Saginaw,
Carl Junction, Neosho, and Republic. Adopting a

There are always
a variety of animals available for adoption at the Humane Society. See our pet
list link at the top of the page. Pets can be adopted for a fee of $60, of which
$35 goes for the spaying/neutering of each animal. All pets have had their first
vaccinations and deworming. Mandatory state law requires spaying or neutering of
all animals adopted from the humane society. Area veterinarians have agreed to
provide free physical exams within 48 hours of adoption to ensure adoptees are
healthy.
Donations are a vital
part of our Humane Society. The donations we receive fund our adoption centers,
educational and visitation programs, cruelty investigations and large animal
rehabilitation programs. Donations are appreciated in any form, including:

The Joplin Humane Society was incorporated in 1948 as a non-profit organization taking on the responsibility of helping animals. In 1956, a stucco building with inside pens and a large cattery was purchased. This building is standing near the Pet Cemetery that the Humane Society oversees behind the VFW Hall on Main Street. As the animal population grew, so did the need for a larger shelter. The Society obtained the land and moved the shelter to Swede Lane in 1966, where it stood until February 2010. In February 2010, we moved to our new shelter at Main Street and Emperor Lane!
