Our Philosophy

Q: How do I find a list of adoptable animals?

Please visit the "Adopt" page of our website! Adopt

Q: If there isn't currently an animal available that looks like a good fit, can I still submit an application to foster or adopt from HSTC?

Absolutely! Having foster and adoption applications in advance can help us when we are trying to determine how to help an animal in need! Please make notes in your application of any specifics about the animal you are hoping to help!

Q: I don't currently have room for an animal in my household, but would like to help HSTC. What can I do?

Help can come in so many forms! In addition to providing a home, you can also help by donating time, resources, or money to help those in need. Please check out our Volunteer with Us page for more information!

The Humane Society of Tipton County is a “no-kill” shelter. Our purpose is to assist with the care of stray and abandoned cats and dogs in and assist in reuniting lost pets with their families, to educate the public as well as assist and encourage compliance of all animal ordinances of the City of Tipton and Tipton County, and to educate and communicate humane care and ownership responsibilities for all domesticated animals within Tipton County limits.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help control the pet population by actively spay and neutering, stop and prevent animal neglect and cruelty, provide a shelter for strays and lost pets, place homeless animals into loving homes, reunite lost and found animals with their proper owners, and educate the community about animal welfare. We strive to instill in our community the appreciation, care, and compassion for all animals, great and small.

Thank you for visiting our site!

If you need to report a lost or found dog within Tipton County limits, please call dispatch: (765) 675-2111

Having a building is a tremendous first step to keeping Tipton County cats and dogs that have lost their way safe. However, we do not have the staff or space to assist with owner-surrendered or at-risk animals from other communities and organizations. We will be regularly adding pet owner resources to this website.

We do have a Community Pet Food Pantry to assist members of our community in keeping their beloved pets fed and safely at home. Please follow our Facebook page for announcements about the pantry schedule.

If you would like to help by becoming a volunteer, foster, or adopter, we would love to have you join the team! Please visit the Adopt or How to Help pages of this site for links to the appropriate application.
