Our Home

Serving the city of Greensburg and all of Decatur County, Indiana, we are a local government funded facility that consists of Animal Control and the Animal Shelter. Our focus is domestic animal rescue and adoptions.

In spite of space limitations, our euthanasia percentage is less than half the national average due largely to our wonderful volunteers. We work very hard to provide a loving and caring environment for our animals while they are with us.

We are open to the public during the above hours. Adoptions are not limited to city or county residents. Come visit us and meet your future pet!

We gratefully accept donations of money and materials for animal care and enrichment. CLICK here to see our Wish List of items we need.

  3. Looking for young dog med to large size. I do not want a dog that has any pit bull in him. Think I would rather have a female. Lab or German Shepherd type dog.

  8. My son found a very well taken care of female Bassett wandering the farm where he has been working, this dog loves people we are hoping to find her parents, she needs her people to come get her. If you know of anybody missing this beautiful Bassett please let me know otherwise I will need to bring her there as we have our own little lady who is kind of territorial.

    • Do you reside within Decatur County? If yes, we may offer several options. Advertise her on Facebook, and on the local radio. Send a picture and details to us and we will post in-house. If you would like to surrender her to the shelter we suggest that for the time being you keep her and we will post on our Pet finder page and on the site for rescues. Again, we need a couple of pics (portrait and profile) and specific details ; Is she good with children, other dogs, cats? Is she house trained? Will she stay inside a fence? Is she a barker? Does she react to cars, bicycles, joggers, etc.? If you are not able to keep her any longer you may bring her here just be aware that we are a bit full up at the present time and once in-house we are never able to guarantee placement (although the fact that she is already fixed and utd on shots is a BIG plus).

  22. Good Afternoon, My name is Jenn Hopkins. I’m one of the Admins for Indy Lost Pet Alerts. I’m writing you for help regarding a tragic car accident that sent a scared dog from the scene.

    URGENT -LOST DOG – JEEP’s Owner, Julie Best, was traveling home to Georgia from Michigan. Julie thinks she may have blacked out & ended up in the ditch. While the EMTS were tending to her and getting her in the ambulance her dog, JEEP, ran off. Owner has been released from the hospital (staying at a motel) and is waiting there until her brother (from MI) and her husband (from GA) can get to Greensburg to help find JEEP. However, during the trip from GA on Monday, Her husband was involved in an accident, his car is now totaled, but he is ok. Julie’s Husbands trip to GREENSBURG has been delayed. Julie’s brother is now in town & helping search for JEEP. She will take some of her clothes to the area to leave near the scene of the car accident (I74 & St Rd 3), hopefully JEEP will stay in the area. JEEP is normally a very friendly dog, but after the accident my be skittish. We are asking that you share JEEP’s post:

  31. I am trying to surrender or rehome a pit bull mix I rescued after he was dumped in the country and year and a half ago. I have 2 older smaller dogs and 2 cats and he is too much dog for me. He is a good boy, and I had him neutered. He likes kids and other animals. Jackson County humane society told me to put him to sleep. Can I surrender him to you?

  33. I’m writing in regards to my dog who has been missing since January 25, 2017. His name is Boxer. He’s a mix of Sharpie and Boxer, fawn in color with black markings. He has a blue collar and a blue harness on at the time of his disappearance in the Morris Batesville area. This site won’t let me post a picture so hopefully someone finds him anyway.

I have to make sure she never sneaks out because the Dobie will kill her. It’s the second cat she killed in my yard. Thanks for any info. Want to make sure we don’t have to worry about rabies.
