IMPROVING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE & PETS SINCE 1986

through progressive life-saving programs and services, invaluable community resources, and educational empowerment 

OUR PURPOSE

is to enhance the well-being of individuals, cats, and dogs in Madison, St. Clair, Jersey, Bond, and Macoupin counties through its comprehensive animal welfare initiatives. We fulfill our mission by operating two no-kill shelters in Edwardsville and Highland, IL ,where our staff provides a safe haven for animals in need with humane medical treatment and care.

 

We partner with local animal control agencies to implement programs that improve access to essential resources and care. MEHS strives to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change in animal welfare. Together, with our dedicated staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners, we work tirelessly to advocate, protect, and care for animals, one life at a time.
