The Humane Society of Morgan County exists for the purposes of preventing cruelty to, relieving the suffering of, and providing humane treatment for animals.
It is also the HSMC's function to determine, and then
to eliminate, the causes of animal suffering through various means, including,
but not limited to education,
legislation and general promotion of the humane ethic. Under no circumstances
shall the HSMC permit an animal in its care or custody to undergo any
experimentation,
nor shall it release an animal for any such experimentation.
The HSMC is made up of volunteers dedicated to the welfare of companion
animals. All animals that come into our care are housed in foster homes until
they can be
matched with a carefully screened, permanent home. While in our care, they are
spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for
any illnesses or injuries, and
started on quality heartworm and flea prevention. In addition to rescue and
adoption, we provide financial assistance for spaying/neutering, an annual
reduced-cost
vaccination clinic as well as educational materials for the community.
