Since 1968, the Owensboro Humane Society has slowly grown in strength and numbers to stop abuse, neglect and the over breeding of our local animal population. The Owensboro Humane Society believes that all animals are adoptable and that is why in 1999, we decided to go completely NO KILL (mercy kill’s only – beyond any medical help). Like people, some of our animals require special needs, or just may be senior citizens – but they are all adoptable.
