About Our Organization
Who We Are
The Humane Society of Union County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization powered by a compassionate team of volunteers, rescuers, and business professionals. United by a common mission, we work tirelessly to help as many dogs and cats as possible—because every life matters.
And yes, we’re friendly and approachable, too!
What Sets Us Apart
We are a foster-based, no-kill organization independent of Union County Animal Services.
We are dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals in need, with a strong focus on Union County. Our efforts include saving animals from Union County Animal Services as well as assisting residents who need to surrender their pets when space and foster homes allow. While Union County remains our primary area of focus, we also extend our rescue efforts to the surrounding region when resources permit, making a broader impact on animal welfare.
Since we do not operate a physical shelter, we rely on the generosity of foster families who open their homes to animals in need, providing them with care until they find their forever homes.
Making a Difference
Rather than just treating the symptoms of pet overpopulation, we took action.
In 2011, we established the Monroe Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic to provide affordable surgeries that prevent thousands of unwanted litters every year. Our licensed veterinarians offer an essential service to the community, giving pets a healthier future while helping to curb unnecessary euthanasia.
Since 2015, we expanded our efforts by offering additional wellness services, including vaccinations, microchipping, and preventatives for fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
In December 2022, we moved our clinic from a modest 1,250 sq. ft. facility to a newly renovated 5,000 sq. ft. space at 1404 East Franklin St, Monroe. This exciting expansion allows us to serve more animals, reduce appointment wait times, and offer a broader range of services.
Every donation to the Humane Society of Union County makes a difference.
Your support directly benefits the animals, can be tax-deductible, and is always deeply appreciated.
