Humane Society of Jefferson County Inc

The Humane Society of Jefferson County is a private non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation founded in 1922.  The majority of funds are raised through donations, charitable giving, bequests, and events such as the annual Fur Ball, a black tie affair held in the month of October, our FF5K Run/Walk, and various other fundraisers sponsored by the shelter or the public.
