About Us

The Butler County Humane Society is proud to serve pets and people in Butler County through our programs. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care possible to the nearly 2,000 homeless dogs and cats we care for each year and to the education, safety, and health of all of the animals in Butler County. The Butler County Humane Society is a non-profit organization that relies solely on community support.


All the shelter animals have been through some difficult experiences. Losing their former home and ending up at the shelter is not an easy thing for any animal to go through. In addition to the bewilderment of finding themselves at our shelter, they often display signs that they are grieving for their former human companions. The routine at the shelter, while not the same as a loving home, helps the animals adjust to their new situation. But even with our very best efforts to create an environment where the shelter animals feel safe and not unhappy, being in a cage in a shelter is a difficult experience.

The BCHS, through its training and foster programs, helps the animals begin to understand what is expected of them in their interactions with people. Mostly what they need is your patience, understanding, and time to adjust to their new surroundings.

Help us to continue our mission in helping the neglected and abandoned animals by adopting a shelter dog or cat today!
