MISSION

To promote animal welfare in Hancock County through humane education and pet population control by:

  • Developing and providing humane education programs that teach kindness to and respect for all living things.

OUR CORE VALUES

  Caring for the Animals & Our Community

  • We believe all life has value and that animals have an inherent right to live free of cruelty. Their unconditional love and nonjudgmental companionship enhances the human condition.
  • Education is the cornerstone of all we do. We will teach that all life is connected and that animals are entitled to humane treatment, protection and welfare.
  • Animals cannot speak for themselves, therefore we must. We will promote animal advocacy within the rules of politeness, decency and the law.
  • We will maintain a reputation of credibility and trust through uncompromising compassion and professionalism.
  • We will practice sound business principles; stable and controlled growth, ongoing planning, continual evaluation and quality control processes.
