Marshall County Humane Society (Benton)

The Humane Society of Marshall County originated in 1989. In 1992, the Society opened its original facility, assuming all sheltering responsibilities for Marshall County, KY. In Febuary 2003, the Humane Society became a limited admissions facility choosing to seperate itself from the county shelter. The now independently run Humane Society chooses to admit animals that can be placed in responsible, loving homes and does not euthanize animals unless they are found to be dangerous, diseased, or injured (beyond help). Owner surrendered cats and dogs are admitted on a criteria of health, personality and available space.

The Society sold its original facility in November 2004 due to lack of funding to perform extensive necessary repairs to the facility and the immediate surrounding area becoming a commercial growth area for the City of Benton which was not suitable for an animal sheltering facility.
