Our Mission Statement:
To provide a safe harbor for the animals entrusted to us as we strive to find them responsible, loving and permanent homes while educating the public about humane values.
About CHS:
Cherryland Humane Society is a no-kill, nonprofit 501 C3 organization dependent upon donations, fund raising activities, estates, planned giving, memorials, and grants.
All of our animals are kept up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered and microchipped. We have a steady volunteer base that comes in every day to walk, socialize, train, or groom our animals.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Please take a moment to review our Adoption Policy prior to applying to adopt a pet.
