Since 1966

Bringing people & animals together for good.

Our History

For more than half a century, Anderson Humane has been a place of refuge and second chances for thousands of animals and the people who love them.

2023 Year in Review by Anderson Humane

Animals and people together are better.

A one-of-a-kind animal welfare organization, Anderson Humane focuses on creating and supporting mutually beneficial relationships between people and animals. Current programming such as our Adoption Program, Military Veterans Program, and Healing Paws Pet Therapy Program create positive, impactful connections between people and animals, improving the lives of both. We offer services in partnership with human-service organizations throughout our community, maximizing impact and changing lives for the better.

Anderson Humane is a resource for pet owners, providing information and services to provide better care for their pets. Services such as our Low-Cost Vaccination, Dental, and Spay/Neuter Clinics offer affordable veterinary care options, preventing owners from having to give up their pets simply because they can’t afford care. We offer programs to keep pets in homes, such as a pet food pantry, affordable pet training options, and temporary housing for pets when families are in crisis.
