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.

🐾💙 MEET COLBY — OUR DOG OF THE WEEK! 💙🐾
Colby is a super sweet boy who may be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he warms up beautifully. 🥰 He walks wonderfully on a leash and does great with other dogs!
At just under 3 years old and 33 pounds, Colby is the perfect snuggle size! 🐶❤️ He would love a home with another friendly dog and, most importantly, someone who will give him the time and patience he needs to feel comfortable. Loud noises can startle him, so a calm, loving home would be perfect for this handsome boy.
Colby is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, tested for FIV/FeLV, and will be neutered before adoption.
He doesn't need much—just someone willing to give him a chance.

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.
Your donations help the lost, abandoned, neglected and homeless dogs and cats of Lawrence County
