WHO WE ARE
Introduction
We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization and have been in existence for about 30 years. We receive no funds from the county. Our organization is run solely by donations, memberships, and adoption fees.
~PREBLE COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY~
OUR SHELTER IS FIVE YEARS OLD
The PET CENTER of the Humane Society of Preble County opened on November 19, 2006. The animal shelter is located at 951 S. Barron Street (Rt. 127 South) in Eaton, OH. (across the street from Carter Lumber).
The 9,400 square foot steel facility was built by John Buckley Contracting, Eaton, OH. The shelter has 48 adult dog runs, a puppy room designed with floor play pens, a cat room, isolation areas, a multi-purpose room used for puppy training classes, temperament observation, behavior modification and education. Rooms for food storage and preparation, night drop-off and get-acquainted rooms are also available in the building.
Our shelter offers the county animals proper ventilation, drainage systems, and a healthy environment. The kennel areas have been finished with a sealer to allow proper cleaning and disinfecting for the health and safety of the animals.
The Humane Society of Preble County is a separate tax exempt and charitable organization that is not related to the county or local government other than having a working relationship with the county dog warden. The Humane Society relied solely on charitable gifts to support the construction and running of this shelter.
Please contribute to our ongoing efforts to provide a safe, humane and caring environment for Preble County's needy animals. The homeless dogs and cats need your financial help. Send your contributions to: Humane Society of Preble County, PO Box 72, Eaton, OH 45320.
