Our Featured Pets...

Meet Brutis. A very lovable and shy guy who was brought in when his former owner stopped feeding and taking care of him. He was losing his hair due to all the fleas he had and was afraid of his own shadow. Brutis has come a long way in a very short time. He is still very timid at first but once he realizes you mean him no harm he wants to come over and sit on your lap!
Skittles is a sweet, sweet girl.. Once settled into her new living quarters, she settled in for a nap with her front paws crossed, as you can see in her second photo. She is doing quite well considering that these photos were taken within her first hour in a shelter, after being relinquished by her former owners as "a stray" that was living on the property as a young kitten, with her mom and sister, when the owners moved into it last June. After the arrival of Skittle's mom's "Litter Number Three" , numerous cats now had to move out, as the expense of food and litter for five adult cats was straining the budget of this family. Skittles adoption fee is $35 !

Donate a Bed
Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda dog bed.

News

The Salem Humane Society dba Humane Society of Columbiana County (HSCC) is a non-profit organization which receives no county or city funding. Primarily, we investigate allegations of animal neglect or cruelty, and the majority of the animals in our programs are relinquished or seized during these investigations. We cannot usually accept unwanted pets or strays, but can offer resources to help owners and Good Samaritans with alternative options for these unwanted pets.

Help put an end to pet overpopulation and encourage your friends, family, neighbors, etc. who own unaltered pets, to please Spay and Neuter. We offer a wonderful Spay A Stray program for cats and can provide information on affordable spay and neuter for owner's pets also (cats and dogs.) Please contact us for more information.

Who We Are

The Humane Society of Columbiana County is a non-profit animal welfare organization that strives to improve the quality of life of homeless or abused animals. We promote responsible animal ownership in Columbiana County by educating the public about proper veterinary care and animal welfare issues. We provide programs that aid in the reduction of pet overpopulation, as well as adopt companion and domesticated animals into lifelong homes. We strive to provide a deputized County Humane Officer who assists in the enforcement of animal cruelty laws.

Adopting a friend

All of our adoptable cats have been tested for Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia with negative results, dewormed and de-fleaed. All cats will be spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They are also vaccinated against Rabies, if they were old enough at the time of spay/neuter to receive that vaccination. All cats will be adopted with their initial three-way vaccination, which includes Distemper. Booster vaccinations are included in the adoption package, if the cat has been in our care long enough to receive this vaccination. Otherwise, booster shots will be the responsibility of the new owner.

Dogs will be spay/neuter, microchip,dewormed,de-fleaed, initial standard vaccinations, and Rabies vaccination. Booster vaccinations are included in the adoption package, if the cat has been in our care long enough to receive this vaccination. Otherwise, booster shots will be the responsibility of the new owner. Adult dogs will be heartworm tested and be on preventitive.

With all of their basic health care addressed, these animals now need a responsible, loving guardian, willing to make a lifetime commitment to their new pet. We have many cats, and dogs who have been waiting patiently for that special someone to take them home.

An adoption fee is collected in an effort to recoup the medical costs of providing these basic requirements to each pet, and to ensure a good home. The adoption fees are as follows:


Adult cats $35.00

Kittens: $50.00
/
Mixed breed dogs: $125

Purebred, Small Breed and Designer Bred dogs: $200

Puppies: $150

Purebred, Small Breed and Designer Bred puppies: $250

This package would cost over $350-$500, at many veterinarian offices. As you can see, morally and financially, adopting a homeless pet from a shelter is a good thing. Make a positive difference in the life of a shelter pet. Adopt one today. It's the purrrfect way to save a life.

If you would like to visit or adopt one of our homeless felines or canines, please leave a message at 330-332-2600 or e-mail hsccoffice@yahoo.com Someone will return your call to set up an appointment.
