Wayne County Humane Society

Animal control for Clay County was outsourced out to non-profit 501c3 Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter (CCARS). Although it doesn't even pay the entire cost of maintaining animal control, the animal control contract is well-known "money loser" in Clay County.

More than 3,500 dogs, cats, and other animals have been taken in by our facility. Most of these animals are young, wholesome pets that are happy to find a new home.

We are a tiny shelter with just a handful of staff members. Please give us some time. Please keep in mind that each animal only has one available home, which is unfortunate.

Our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization's mission is to rescue abused, neglected, and abandoned animals in and around Jasper County and place them in a secure foster home until a permanent home can be found.

We are a small shelter run by a very small number of people that provides no kill animal rescue services to Marion County, Illinois.
