Brown County Humane Society

Brown County Humane Society BCHS is a nonprofit animal shelter serving the homeless dogs and cats of Brown County, Indiana.
(286)

We also offer resources to help residents keep pets in their homes including low-cost spay/neuter. BCHS strives for a community where all animals are valued and treated with respect. All animals that come to the shelter are re-homed, regardless of how long it takes and no animals are euthanized due to lack of space or funds. We hold the Brown County Animal Control contract, but we are not a govern

ment agency and receive no funds from any national animal welfare organizations. Our community outreach program has reduced the number of animals coming into the shelter by 49% and the BCHS has been nationally recognized as a successful rural shelter with an outstanding save rate of 99%, compared to a national average of 60%.

Meet Pickle 💚🐾

Pickle is a 2-year-old petite gray lady with a gentle, shy personality. She’s the kind of kitty who loves curling up in the coziest beds and quietly watching the world go by.

While she may be a little timid at first, Pickle is working hard on becoming more brave every day. She would thrive in a home with a friendly feline companion to help show her the ropes and build her confidence.

With a little patience and love, Pickle is sure to blossom into a loyal and sweet companion. Could your home be the safe place she’s been waiting for? 🏡💕

Frank arrived as an under-socialized community cat destined for a life of warehouse security and avoiding humans. Then we discovered his secret love: snacks. After countless treats and a lot of patience, this tough-looking guy with the face of a retired boxing champion has become a cuddle bug who absolutely lives for pets. If you want a cat that looks intimidating but is secretly a marshmallow, Frank is your guy.

✨Guess the Breed✨

Brock recently had a DNA test done! This boy is fiercely loyal and loves to have a good time. He’s strong and energetic, but once he’s had a great workout he’s a total cuddle bug and is convinced his 80 pound body belongs in your lap.

What breed(s) do you think this handsome boy is?!
(Correct answer will be posted tomorrow morning!)

ADOPTED
Blossom is a curious girl who wants to keep an eye on what’s going on around her. She is a petite 1 year old tabby. She would probably love to have a bird feeder to keep tabs on from a nice sunny window.
