ADAMS COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY
Placing animals in loving forever homes
ACHS “Brief” History


Adams County Humane Society was formed in the early ‘70’s by a group of concerned citizens. It was incorporated in 1975.

The animal control officer at the time had to shelter the animals at his farm. Eventually, this dedicated group decided that a shelter in
Adams/ Friendship was needed. Through the endless hours doing fundraisers and hard work by this group of citizens, in 1988 the first
Humane Society was built. Finally, a permanent home for ACHS to better help the animals of Adams County.

In 2000, plans were made to expand the shelter into a larger facility with outdoor exercise areas, and better separation of animal areas.

After a generous memorial gift given by Dr. Wesley Willard, the Board of Directors decided to add on once again in 2008, adding a surgical
room, an intake room, isolation room and creating a larger cat room.

Although the number of animals has increased since 1975, we take great pride in our animal care and adoption rate.
ACHS continues to strive to improve the quality of life for animals through education, adoption, and redemptions.

ACHS is a private non-profit 501.C3 organization. We need your support to continue our important work of helping the animals & people of
Adams County & surrounding areas.

ACHS takes great pride in the care we give our animals on their way to loving forever homes.
