White River Humane Society has $50 spay / neuter vouchers available for Lawrence County residents thanks to a grant from Lawrence County Community Foundation. Vouchers are redeemable at participating veterinary centers for $50 OFF the cost of the spay/neuter procedure.
To qualify:
• You must be a resident of Lawrence County and present a valid photo ID when picking up your voucher
• You must have a veterinary appointment already scheduled within 30 days of picking up the voucher
• Limit 2 vouchers per household
Spaying and neutering your pets is one of the most important ways to help reduce pet overpopulation in our community. Every litter prevented means fewer homeless animals entering local shelters.
Only you can help reduce the pet overpopulation in Lawrence County. Please be part of the solution by having your pets spayed or neutered.
Stop by White River Humane Society during business hours to pick up your voucher while supplies last. For more information, call White River Humane Society at 812-279-2457.
In 2024 alone, we sheltered 1,120 animals and achieved an incredible 96% out-alive rate—a testament to the dedication of our staff, board, volunteers, and the support of our amazing community.
However, things were not always this way. White River Humane Society (WRHS) has come a long way in its mission to save and protect homeless animals. Over a decade ago, the euthanasia rate stood at 51% for cats and 44% for dogs. These numbers were heartbreaking, but with hard work, determination, and a commitment to a pro-life philosophy, WRHS has transformed into a true safe haven for animals in need.
This success would not be possible without the tireless efforts of our staff, adopters, volunteers, board members, foster families, rescue partners, and generous supporters. Over the years, we have saved thousands of animals—giving them a second chance at a loving home.
But our work is far from over. To continue our lifesaving efforts, we rely on the community for support through donations, fundraisers, volunteering, adoptions, and foster care. Every dollar, every hour, and every adoption makes a difference. Together, we can give more animals the future they deserve.
Join us in our mission—because every life matters.
Here are only a few of the many animals that have passed through White River Humane Society.

Time is crucial when pets are lost. It is important to contact Animal Control in your area to verify if your pet was picked up and to verify where the pet is being held during the local stray hold period per local ordinances (in most cases 5 days). At WRHS, when a pet is brought in by a Good Samaritan or an Animal Control Officer, we will post their photo to our Facebook page. You are welcome to visit the shelter to take a look to see if your pet is here Monday through Saturday. Visit us at www.WhiteRiverHumaneSociety.org/lost-pets for tips and more information.
*Please note due to contract changes some lost pets are being held at government locations or other third-party providers. Animal pickups via Animal control are reportedly lower in frequency than in the past, so animals may be with another citizen or still roaming.
Accidents happen. Please take steps to keep your pets safe and on your property. We highly advise microchipping your pet to increase the chances of them being returned to you if they are ever lost or stolen.
Pets can be microchipped at WRHS with proof of ownership for a ONE time fee of ONLY $15. Please call for an appointment 812-279-2457.

Creek is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and has already been neutered. He's healthy, happy, and ready to start the next chapter of his life with a loving family.

Dog of the Week: Meet Memphis!
Looking for a loyal best friend? Meet Memphis! This handsome guy is 1½ years old, weighs 43 pounds, and has everything you could want in a canine companion.
This past Saturday, Memphis was our office boy for the day, and he was absolutely amazing! He had wonderful manners, loved being around everyone he met, and proved what a great companion he would make. He already knows how to sit, down, and stay on command, and he's eager to keep learning.
Memphis walks beautifully on a leash, keeps his kennel very clean, and gets along well with the other dogs at the shelter. With his friendly, easygoing personality, we truly believe he'd fit into just about any loving home.
Memphis has been vaccinated, dewormed, and tested for heartworms. Before going home with his forever family, he will be neutered and microchipped.
This wonderful boy has so much love to give—he's just waiting for a family to give his heart to. Could that family be yours?
Stop by White River Humane Society and meet our Dog of the Week, Memphis.
