A LITTLE ABOUT THE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC

Animal Shelter
Martin County
Humane Society
One of our big goals for 2023 is to continue to control the feral cat population in Martin County. We opened a spay and neuter clinic as part of the animal shelter to continue that mission.
If you are unable to adopt or foster or volunteer, consider donating! Every dollar goes to the care of the dogs and cats.
Our humane society opened our county's first-ever animal shelter in June of 2013. The shelter was built almost completely by volunteers. Josh and Courtney Hughett have been running the humane society since 2012 - Josh as president and Courtney as secretary/treasurer. Jennifer Randolph was also instrumental in being a part of the shelter being built and served as vice president of the humane society at that time. Prior to the shelter being built in 2013, the Hughetts had all the dogs and cats at their home. Alexandra Loughmiller has served as an advisory board member for 5+ years. The shelter is run completely by volunteers. Currently, the Hughetts, Pam Loughmiller, Jared Wathen, Kasie Green, Tonya Sheetz, Emily Duvall and Jessica Parker are the regular, active volunteers.
