We continue to love, comfort, heal and safeguard each and every dog & cat that finds its way through our doors, until the right family comes along to open their hearts. Maybe even yours.

Adoption Process

Posey Humane Society aims to place animals in forever homes. It can be difficult for an animal to make a transition to a new home only to be brought back to the shelter, so we encourage you to consider your next pet carefully. Your new pet needs time to adjust. A rule of thumb is it takes about three weeks for a new pet to get used to their new home, the people in it and their new daily routine. It takes a new pet around three months to fully be comfortable and settle into their new life. We ask that you give these pets a chance and let them acclimate to their new surroundings before making the decision to return a pet. However, we do understand things don't always work out and if you find your new pet not to be a great fit, please reach out to us. We ask that you do not re-home your pet or surrender to any other shelter. Whether it's been a couple months or several years, we ask that you return the pet back to us! Stop in a visit our shelter to find the right pet for you! Also, come check out our new free roaming cat den with an outside Catio!

ALL stray dogs picked up in Posey County by our two animal control officers are brought to this shelter. Over time, other volunteers joined the group, and we became PC Pound Puppies, a 501(c
