The Corinne T. Smith Animal Center was created in Brown County in 1974 and was originally called the Brown County Humane Society. In 2006 to honor, Corinne T. Smith, the orgnization name was changed. She was one of the original organizers of the Humane Society in Brown County and she was the director for almost thirty years. She dedicated her life to the animals and the shelter. We felt that due to all her hard work and dedication, it would be an honor to name the shelter after her memory.
The mission of the Corinne T. Smith Animal Center is dedicated to promoting the welfare, compassionate care and protection of animals, taking all domestic animals brought to us, finding suitable homes for adoptable animals, providing information, raising public awareness of animal issues, and promoting responsible pet ownership.
Our goals are as follows: to provide a compassionate and healthy environment for those in our care; to facilitate responsible adoption by placing animals in permanent, caring homes; to eliminate cruelty to animals through education and advocacy; to reduce pet overpopulation through education and spay/neuter programs; and to provide education and resources that promote responsible pet ownership.
We have had a lot of changes over the last few months which have strengthen our desire to work as a team for the betterment of the animals in our care and finding great homes for our shelter residents through adoption and our relationships with rescue partners. We have established a foster program which is in its infancy but growing in an mighty way. Our adoptions have increased steadily and we have been able to get over 200 residents to rescue groups in a two month time period. We are on a roll and just getting started. We would love to raise funds to create a medical fund for our shelter residents should medical needs arise and/or pre-existing conditions, heartworm prevention treatment and any parasite treatment should it be needed. Your donations will go towards this fund and would be greatly appreciate it.
