Welcome!
2009 is the 50th anniversary of the Belleville Area Humane Society. 50 years of service to the community and many thousands of our 4 legged friends over the years.
BAHS is a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from individuals, companies, and various organizations in Belleville and the surrounding areas. It takes over $600,000 per year to run our facility. Moneys go toward care and feeding and the staff necessary to make sure we keep the facility in the highest standards for our "residents." When an animal is brought in to the shelter, it is given a thorough examination and receives any necessary medical care. All pets adopted from the BAHS are micro-chipped and spayed or neutered to protect them and to ensure a healthier life.
BAHS has many programs that we participate in. Did you know we will come to your school or organization for short educational presentations on a variety of animal topics? Check out our events page to find out where we are going next.
Surrendering a pet or stray...
BAHS is now an Adoption Center and can no longer accept stray animals.
If you need to report a stray animal or you suspect abuse, you must contact St. Clair County Animal Control at 618-235-0585.
We do take owner turn-ins. Please call first for available kennel space.
