In 1887, a group of concerned individuals joined forces in an effort to ensure humane treatment of animals in St. Clair County. Today, your Blue Water Area Humane Society, a no-kill, full-service organization, is still a donation supported partnership of people working together to ensure responsible care for and respectful treatment of companion animals in St. Clair County and surrounding areas. We are active in our community. We address pet over-population through our Spay & Neuter Voucher Program for limited income families. We are a 'companion animal welfare' organization, not an 'animal rights group'. We spend no money 'lobbying' for anything. We are a 506(c)(3) organization and are funded by donations only. We do not receive any monies from governmental agencies or other humane societies. The mission of your Blue Water Area Humane Society is to care for companion animals whose families can no longer care for them. To adopt them into permanent, loving homes and to end, through spaying and neutering, the horrific pet over-population problem (particularly among cats) which exists in St. Clair County.
