Our HistoryIn 1957, The Newton Animal Rescue League and Humane Society was chartered. Irma Callison ran the league on her own until 1973 when June Anderson volunteered as the first Humane Officer (Animal Control Officer) for the Newton Animal Rescue League. June volunteered in this position for 19yrs. In 1997 the first Director was hired and operations expanded to include all of Jasper County. Then in 2000 the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and Humane Society was created. In 2017 the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and Humane Society completed their 1st year as a “No-Kill” Shelter! We will continue to move forward working to save as many lives as possible!
