Make A Difference For Animals In Need
Give and support our programs

Your support allows us to continue to provide medial care, investigate cruelty and care for hundreds of animals each year. We rely heavily on your support to provide the highest quality of care. We are not a government agency nor are we a part of a national organization. We are a local, private 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization with law enforcement responsibilities.

ways to give that help Save Lives
There are many ways to give and your generous donation whether large or small will help JCHS save homeless animals in our community. It’s because of supporters like you that we’re able to help them recover and find a new family to call home!
Your support allows the Jefferson County Humane Society to continue providing medical care, investigating cruelty and caring for hundreds of animals each year. A gift of $25 will test 5 dogs for heartworm. A gift of $50 will help to vaccinate 10 animals. A gift of $100 will spay/neuter 3 cats. A gift of $200 provides a month of food and boarding for 4 dogs. A gift of $250 staffs the Humane Operations Department for one day.
Do you want to help animals year round? Sign up to give monthly and become a Constant Companion! As a Constant Companion, you can help us save even more lives. You simply choose a monthly donation amount that will be processed automatically. It’s a convenient way for you to give, and you will provide a steady stream of lifesaving funds to animals all year long.
Giving an honor or memorial gift is a meaningful way to recognize a loved one – two-legged or four-legged. Your gift is not only a tribute to someone special in your life, but it helps the Jefferson County Humane Society continue serving hundreds of homeless animals in our community.
When you become the sponsor of a kennel at JCHS you’re playing a vital role in the day-to-day care of animals in need, helping us continue to provide food, housing, and medical care to all the animals who will stay in your sponsored kennel over the course the month. A plaque will be affixed to your sponsored kennel for the month, recognizing the way you’re making a difference for homeless cats and dogs. Plaques may be personalized with your name/organization name or may be personalized in honor or in memory of a friend, loved one or pet.
