The Hancock County Animal Shelter is a county facility managed by the Hancock County Animal Shelter Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization. Founded in 1991, the Foundation worked to raise money for the construction of a new county shelter to replace the outdated facility then being used. Recently, the wonderful citizens of Hancock County have again shown their support for homeless animals in need by passing a county wide levy to update and expand our facility over the next three years.
