A LITTLE ABOUT THE SHELTER

Our humane society opened our county's first-ever animal shelter in June of 2013. The shelter was built almost completely by volunteers. Josh and Courtney Hughett built and operated the animal shelter from 2013-2024, Jennifer Randolph was also instrumental in being a part of the shelter being built and served as vice president of the humane society at that time. The spay/neuter clinic opened in 2021. The Hughetts moved out of the county at the end of 2024 and a new group is working to find a way to keep the shelter and clinic in operation.
