Survivor Program Providing Life-Saving Care
Hundreds of animals come through our doors each year in need of life-saving medical care. As an open admission, truly no-kill shelter, the Humane Society for Hamilton County takes in abused, neglected and sick animals and helps them through care and recovery until they find their happily ever after. These dogs and cats are never turned away because their care is too extensive or expensive – every animal deserves the chance to live, love and be loved.
The Survivor Program funds all life-saving medical care as well as the costs associated with rescuing hundreds of animals at-risk for euthanasia each year in Indiana kill shelters.

Survivor Success Stories
Phoenix
Age: 10 years old
His Story:
Before being adopted, Phoenix held a title that no animal wants: Longest Resident. For eight months, this senior struggled on and off with painful urinary blockages and anxiety. Phoenix was treated with medication and was fed a special diet, and slowly began showing improvements. A mass was found in Phoenix’s mouth and a biopsy was recommended to ensure it was non-life-threatening. Results indicated the mass was benign, great news to all after the struggles Phoenix had endured. One unsuspecting day, Phoenix’s angel walked into the shelter – and the rest is history.
Riley
Age: 5 years old
Her Story:
Riley’s life was saved by the Survivor Program in October of 2018 after being transferred in from another shelter. Shortly after arriving, she began receiving treatment for the significant yeast infection covering her skin, ear infections, along with an upper respiratory infection. Riley continued her recovery in a foster home for the following weeks, and ultimately stayed with the family – they had fallen in love and couldn’t imagine their family without her.
