Bond County Humane Society (BCHS) was formed in 2003 by Rachel & Dennis Hundsdorfer and a small group of concerned citizens. The mission is to provide temporary housing to stray, unwanted and neglected cats and dogs until permanent loving homes can be found. Our mission also includes controlling the pet overpopulation through low cost spay/neuter programs. We offer local low cost spay/neuter programs for companion animals and low cost spay/neuter programs for feral free roaming cats. We actively participate in humane education programs with a group of volunteers from surrounding counties to elementary and high schools those counties. BCHS was formed because we saw a need for improving animal welfare in Bond County.
