Vanderburgh County Humane Society Inc

Vhs operates a low-cost spay/neuter clinic. In 2024, 6,665 spay/neuter surgeries were performed. All animals are altered before being placed in their new home to ensure no breeding occurs once animals leave the shelter. The spay/neuter clinic is open to the public. The shelter significantly underwrites the cost of these surgeries and other services to ensure the surgery is available regardless of income. The clinic also operates as a wellness clinic to provide low-cost medical services to the general public, including vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment, and medical testing.

The education and volunteer programs of the vhs reached 5,082 kids in 58 programs in 2024. The programs include tours of the shelter and class room style presentations on being safe around animals, proper care and treatment of animals and a variety of other pet related safety issues. The vhs educators also take presentations to the schools and other group settings where people want to learn more about the shelter or hear pet related topics.
