The Suwannee Valley Humane Society, Inc., which is located at 1156 SE Bisbee Loop, is a 21-acre no-kill shelter that currently houses many of Madison County’s unclaimed animals. From tiny kittens, to large full-grown dogs, many of the animals at the humane society are just looking for a home and family to call their own.
Many of the animals at the humane society are there as a result of pet-owners not spaying or neutering their pets, resulting in unwanted puppies and kittens.
Each year, approximately 7.6 million pets enter animal shelters around the U.S. and of that sheer amount, 2.7 are euthanized and 2.7 are adopted. It is impossible to determine how many cats and dogs are strays due to overpopulation of shelters and owners no longer wanting their pets.
The Suwannee Valley Humane Society is a no-kill shelter. However, due to this policy, they frequently face overcrowding their own facility and are running out of space.
All pets that are adopted from the Suwannee Valley Humane Society will be spayed or neutered with their shots up-to-date and will be microchipped
