​Together, We Save Lives.

Every wagging tail, every comforted purr, and every happy ending at the Bowling Green Warren County Humane Society is made possible by people like you. With nearly 12,000 animals entering our doors each year, our mission is big, but our community is bigger. Whether you have time to volunteer, a room for foster pets, or a passion for sharing the shelter with others, there is a place for you to make a difference here.

Make an Impact for Our Most Vulnerable Animals

We love our amazing foster family. Each year, our number of fosters grows, and so does the number of lives saved! To be a foster, all you need is to live in Warren County, have a safe space for fosters, and have a big heart for animals.
