Centralia Humane Society The OFFICIAL page for The Centralia Humane Society. Our application process ensures that our pets will receive great care in their new homes.

Our adoption application and requirements can be found at www.centraliahumanesocietyil.org/adopt. We are a no kill animal rescue facility serving Marion County, IL. We require that potential adopters have their current/past pets taken to the vet yearly for vaccinations, and that dogs are on heartworm prevention 12 months out of the year. First time pet owners must agree to keeping the animals on heartworm prevention and getting yearly vaccinations. We are a small shelter run by a very small amount of people. Please be patient with us. Please also understand that there is only one of each animal and unfortunately only one home can be chosen. We choose homes that best suit each individual animal, not on a first-come-first-serve basis.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

We are incredibly grateful for the support you guys have shown the Centralia Humane Society. As many as you know our water heater failed, and as a shelter that runs solely on donations the bill of over $3000 was a significant challenge.

Because of your generosity, compassion, and willingness to help we were able to cover this expense!!!!! Your donations ensure that we can keep providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for the animals in our care.

Every dollar given, every share, and every word of encouragement made a difference. We are constantly humbled by the kindness of the community and even the kindness from people that may not even know us.

From all of us here at the Centralia Humane Society, two legged, and four, thank you for helping us through this unexpected hurdle. We couldn't do this without you guys!!!!

We appreciate each and every one of you!!!

🐾🐾🐾We Need Your Help!!!!!🐾🐾🐾

As many as you know the Centralia Humane Society operates soley on donations. We recently faced an unexpected expense when our hot water heater had to be replaced.

The cost of the new water heater was $3005.

For us a hot water heater is not a luxury. It is essential for the daily functions of a shelter. By being able to wash the food and water bowls correctly, cleaning kennels, cleaning litterboxes, washing the forever mounting laundry, and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment, plus the essential clean drinking water for the animals in our care.

This unexpected bill has put a strain on our budget, and we are asking our community for help. Every dollar donated goes directly toward caring for the animals who depend on us daily.

No donation is too small. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help us recover the cost of this emergency repair and to continue to provide the care the animals deserve.

Thank you for supporting us so that we can continue our mission in giving these animals the best life possible.

If you are considering donating, you can either visit us at the shelter or mail a donation to the address below. We accept cash/checks/money orders and we also have Paypal.

Meet Gus!

When Gus first came to us, he was completely unsocialized and unsure of people. Since then, he has come such a long way and continues to blossom every day.

Gus is a sweet boy who loves to hang around on his cat tower. He may be shy at first, but with patience and understanding, his affectionate personality shines through. One of the most rewarding parts of getting to know Gus is how he shows you his sweet and gentle side once he gets to know you.

Gus gets along great with other cats and would do well in a home with feline companions. He can also live with dogs, but he will need a slow, careful introduction to help him feel comfortable and secure.

Gus is looking for a patient family willing to give him the time he needs to settle in. In return, you'll gain a loyal, lovable companion who has already proven just how far he can come.

If you are considering adopting Gus, please come out to the shelter and meet him. He will win your heart almost immediately. You can also go on our website and fill out an app for Gus or any of his furry friends. All of our contact info can be found below.

Destiny is a three-year-old female with a heart full of love and a personality that shines.

Destiny loves to perch high on the cat towers so she can supervise the world as it goes by. Keeping an ever-watching eye from her favorite lookout spot.

Curious, affectionate, and charming, Destiny would make a wonderful addition to a family who likes playtime and relaxation.

Destiny is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped and read for her forever home. If interested in Destiny please fill out an app online on our website or come out to the shelter to meet her to see if you are the right person for her.
