Featured Pet -Tazzy, a shepherd/boxer mix, has been patiently waiting awhile for a home. She is friendly & affectionate, knows "sit" but still needs to learn a few more commands. She gets along with most dogs, but is not sure about some "dominant" ones. She's a great girl, born 7/2010, who has been vet checked, spayed, microchipped & is current on shots. If you'd like to meet her, email wahspets@yahoo.com or call our toll-free pager at 1-877-802-1633 to meet her.

Upcoming Events
The Wilmington Area Humane Society is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization formed to promote the welfare of dogs and cats in Clinton County and to provide programs to the residents of this area to nurture and strengthen the human/animal bond. The Wilmington Area Humane Society officially became a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization on June 11, 2003. We have renovated a facility that is being used to house our dogs and cats and being able to showcase our animals locally. We have volunteers that feed, take care of and socialize our dogs and cats 4 times a day. The Wilmington Area Humane Society receives no tax dollars and relies on donations, fund raisers and adoption fees to fund its programs.
The dogs and cats that we have available for adoption have been vet-checked, temperament tested, current on all vaccinations and are spayed or neutered. All puppies or kittens not old enough to be spayed or neutered will be adopted out with a spay/neuter voucher good for a deposit refund of $20 after proof of alteration is provided. The adoption fees for dogs and puppies are $100 while cats and kittens are $40. We are not set up to take credit/debit cards. Adoption days are held once per month and extra days are planned around # of animals and special events. We also do many adoptions by appointment. For an appointment or further information, please email wahspets@yahoo.com or call the toll free pager at 1-877-802-1633.

For available dates contact WAHS at our toll free pager : 1-877-802-1633 or at sbathori@aol.com. This program has been made possible through a generous grant received from the Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust. Participating vets: Dr. Jill Thompson & Dr. Patricia Haines. 1. Eligible cats must be at least 12 weeks old in estimated age, weighing at least 2 pounds. 2. Caretakers will be required to pay $40.00/ cat in cash PRIOR to any procedures. 3. Any cat which bites a TNR worker will be humanely euthanized and tested for Rabies by the state lab as animals cannot be quarantined at the shelter. 4. Cats are tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Viruses (FIV). Any cat testing positive for either or both viruses will be humanely euthanized. 5. All cats will be Rabies vaccinated. 6. Male cats will receive a gonadectomy and female cats an ovariohysterectomy with dissolvable sutures placed. 7. ALL CATS WILL BE EAR TIPPED FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION. This requires removal of the upper third of the left ear pinna.
WAHS Spay/Neuter Voucher Program - This program is to assist Clinton County residents financially with the cost of the spay or neuter surgery for their dogs or cats. This program is open to low income, senior citizens and those individuals who have recently lost their jobs or have some extenuating circumstances. Please email sbathori@aol.com to inquire about an application and information about the program. All vouchers and monies toward vouchers will go directly to the veterinarian performing the surgery and will not be given to the individuals.
Working with animals is a very rewarding experience. Whether you have many hours to give or are available only a few times a year, we have an activity you can participate in. Some of our activities require several hours weekly and some a few hours a month. If your schedule is extremely heavy, we even have ways in which you can help us once or twice a year (e.g., fund-raising events). If you are interested in volunteering, please call the toll free pager at 1-877-802-1633.
Please come visit us on the third Sunday of every month between 1pm to 3pm for Adoption Day. We are located at 5361 N. US Hwy 68, in Wilmington, Ohio near the intersection of I-71 and U.S. 68. You're invited to follow us on Facebook.
Donations of dry dog/puppy food, cat/kitten food, cat litter, cleaning supplies and toliet paper are welcomed. If no one is at the shelter, please leave by the back door. Please send all monetary donations to WAHS, INC., P.O. Box 968, Wilmington, OH 45177. Thank you for your support!.
Have you seen cars sporting plates showing pets on them? The Ohio Pet License Plates are vehicle registration tags that raise funds for education, spay and neuter of pets for low-income families, and for dogs and cats adopted from qualifying agencies. Share your love for pets! Even if you have just renewed your license plates, you can still buy the plate for $25. Simply visit your deputy registrar's office, or call 1-800-589-TAGS, three pet friendly plates available. The more plates sold, the more animals that can be helped. Visit www.petsohio.com.
