You can expect an inviting and welcoming atmosphere when you visit the shelter, and compassionate care for our animals.
We have many community minded programs designed to educate and support our neighbors, including a free pet food bank, a low-cost spay/neuter program, and twice yearly rabies clinics at the shelter.
We are a passionate group of employees, volunteers and fosters working hard to achieve a future where every pet is a wanted pet.
Mission Statement: The Humane Society of Warren County is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate care to abandoned, abused, homeless and neglected animals in our community.

Meet Diesel – A Young-at-Heart Senior Looking for His Forever HomeDon't let the gray around his muzzle fool you—Diesel may be 8 years old, but he still has plenty of energy and a playful, puppy-like spirit!This handsome Hound/Pit Bull mix came to us as a stray in heartbreaking condition. He was emaciated when he arrived, but with lots of good food and care, he's been steadily gaining weight and continues to fill out beautifully. Now he's ready to find a family of his own.Diesel is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.He's an affectionate, loving dog who enjoys being with people, but he's still working on his manners. Diesel would benefit from training to help him learn boundaries and appropriate behavior. When he gets overly excited, he can become pushy and mouthy, so we feel a home with children ages 10 and older would be the best fit. We'd also like any children in the home to come to the meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable together.We are unsure how Diesel does with other dogs, so a dog meet is required before adoption. He is also very pushy around cats, so if a home has feline friends, extreme caution and very slow introductions are essential.Diesel has been through a lot, but he hasn't let that take away his loving personality. He's looking for a family that will give him patience, guidance, and plenty of opportunities to burn off his energy while enjoying the life he deserves.If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Diesel may be waiting just for you.
MEET PUP! Sometimes the dogs who haven’t had the best start in life are the ones who appreciate a little love the most. Meet 3-year-old Pup, a 30-ish pound Pit Mix who is ready to discover just how wonderful life can be! Pup can be a little shy when he first meets you, but give him a little time and patience and his spunky, curious personality starts to shine. Once he knows he’s safe, Pup absolutely LOVES being loved on! Outside is where Pup really gets to show his curious side. He wants to check out everything around him and take in all the sights and smells. He also walks well on leash, is housetrained, and does pretty well riding in the car. Pup has unfortunately not had the best life before coming to us and was kept outside most of the time. We’d love nothing more than to find him a family who will show him what it means to be safe, loved, included, and part of a family. Dogs: Pup is dog selective and seems to prefer female dogs. A dog test will be required with any current dog in the home.Cats: His previous owner said he was interested in cats but generally indifferent toward them. As always, slow and patient introductions are best.Kids: He has only been around older children, so we recommend a home with older kids who can respect his space while he gets comfortable.Pup is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. This sweet boy may need a little time to come out of his shell, but we think the family willing to give him that time is going to discover one pretty special dog. Could you be the person who shows Pup that his best days are still ahead? Come meet Pup and give him the chance to be your new best friend!
