The Services We Provide
The Humane Society of Jefferson County, Inc. (HSJC) is a non-profit entity serving municipalities in Jefferson County. We contract with these municipalities on an annual basis to provide animal control 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
Help Financially
The Humane Society of Jefferson County, Inc. (HSJC) accepts funds and property to provide care for the neglected animals of Jefferson County. Since only one third of our annual budget comes from municipal contracts, we rely on the generosity of individuals and business donors and on fundraising events to cover the costs of housing, food, medicine,
veterinary fees and other services rendered.
