The Dubois County Humane Society, located in Jasper, IN, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1974 to care for homeless animals in the community. Through their many years of operation, and countless staff and volunteers, they have likely cared for many thousands of cats and dogs that have made their way inside the shelter walls.
As a No-Kill Shelter, The Dubois County Humane Society does not receive tax dollars or public funding, instead they rely on the support of the local community through contributions and fundraising events.
Over the lifetime of the shelter, the Dubois County Humane Society has worked with various other local shelters to keep animals off the euthanasia list, helped local Street Departments with reuniting animals with owners, grown and expanded their facility operations, and most recently, opened their very own low-cost Spay and Neuter Clinic to help combat the overpopulation of pets in Southern Indiana.
To celebrate 50 years of the Dubois County Humane Society saving animals’ lives, they will be hosting a 50th Anniversary Celebration event at Huntingburg’s Market Street Park, on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, from 2:00PM to 10:00PM EST.
This free public event, organized by the shelter, will feature live entertainment from the local band, Studebaker. There will be on-site food trucks available, and beverages will be provided by Pints for Purpose. They will also work with community members to provide a Vendor Fair at this event, (Vendor registration details can be found here), as well as a “mega-prize” Key Box Raffle – consisting of various donated items from event sponsors.
As described by the shelter: “We will have a locked box FULL of amazing gifts and prizes on site at this fundraiser. We will be selling keys to attempt to unlock this vault. Only one key will fit, and that person will take EVERYTHING in the vault.”
The Dubois County Humane Society is still seeking Vendors for their Vendor Fair, and Event Sponsors for this September 21st celebration. (There are various sponsorship levels, you can find more information and register on their website.)
The Dubois County Humane Society is located at 426 Wernsing Road Jasper, IN 47546. For more information on this event, or the shelter and the services they provide, visit their website: https://www.duboiscountyhumane.org/
