From its busy shelter in Jasper County the Carthage Humane Society is home to so many homeless, neglected - but wonderful - companion animals. It also plays an ever-evolving role as mediator on the changing relationship between people and animals. Since 1948, the Humane Society has reached out to those who enjoy and employ animals, as well as those people who love and share their lives with them.
