Updated Fall Shelter Hours

🍂 New Fall Hours at HSSJC! 🍂

As we head into fall, the Humane Society of St. Joseph County is updating our public hours to help our team better serve our animals and community.

Please note: We will be CLOSED on Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day. Our new Fall Hours will officially begin Tuesday, September 8.

🏢 Office Lobby / Animal Control
Monday–Friday: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
Lobby closed 12:00–1:00 PM
Saturday: 1:00–5:00 PM
Sunday: Closed

🐾 Adoption Center
Monday–Saturday: 2:00–4:30 PM for walk-in browsing

❤️ Already approved to adopt?
Adoption appointments are available Monday–Saturday from 9:00 AM–4:30 PM.

While our lobby will be closed on Saturday mornings, our team will still be hard at work behind the scenes! Scheduled appointments for adoptions, owner reclaims, and emergency surrender/intake needs may still be accommodated during those hours.

🚨 Animal Control emergency response will continue to be available when our lobby is closed, including on Labor Day.

These updated hours will allow us to concentrate our staffing during the times our lobby is open while giving our team dedicated time for animal care, administrative responsibilities, and all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our shelter running.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our animals and team! 🐾💛
