SPUDS NEEDS A HOME!
Meet Spuds, an adorable, sweet-natured boy estimated to be just 1 year old — and he’s ready to find his forever family!
Because he’s so loved by his Kennel Keeper supporters, Spuds’ adoption includes 3 FREE in-home training sessions with Ashtan Bean of River Run Dog Training & Boarding!
Spuds isn’t a wild one — he’s a gentle, well-mannered pup who already knows “sit” and happily gives up the ball during fetch. He’s playful, smart, and ready to thrive with a loving home and a little guidance.
This is a perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation with your new best friend!

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.
