Our Pet List

The cool, crisp days must mean Summer is over and Fall has finally arrived! Before we even know what happened, Winter will be knocking on our doors! Now is the time to check your outside pets and their shelters to make sure they are adequate for colder weather. Dog houses should be insulated to protect against drafts and to provide a warm place for pets to get in out of the elements. Line the house with enough straw for the animal to burrow in to keep warm. Outdoor pets should been seen by a veterinarian before winter begins to ensure it is healthy and does not have any conditions that would compromise its ability to deal with cold weather. Always be sure to check on your outside pets regularly and never leave pets outside for an unlimited period of time in extremely frigid weather.
Be a responsible pet owner and spay or neuter your pets. The shelter has received a grant from the Cesar Millan Foundation to help with the costs of altering your dog. Please contact the shelter at 419-592-3777 for more information on this money saving grant!
If you are seeking to add a new friend to your life, please remember to check your local shelter first. There are many wonderful animals waiting at the shelter for their forever homes.
Please visit our pet list often - there are always many loving souls waiting to say "there's no place like home."

VOLUNTEERING & DONATIONS

Looking for volunteers has become an ongoing process. Volunteering your time is one of the best ways to help animals. Whether you walk dogs or assist with fundraising such as bingo, you can make a difference in the lives of animals. We are currently seeking volunteers to fill these "job" descriptions: Canine Exercise Escorts, Feline Fondlers, Newspaper Expansion Engineers, Guest Reception Aides, Telephone Reception Specialists and Visionary Pilots. For a more detailed "job" description, please contact the shelter at 419-592-3777. We'll be happy to give you all the details!.

The Henry County Humane Society is currently participating in a fund raising program. This program pays our group $1-$12.00 for each empty Ink Jet or Laser printer cartridge we collect and $2.50 for each digital cell phone (working or not). Not only will this help us raise funds, it is also great for the environment. We are also starting to collect cell phones for the same purpose. So please bring any old or unused cell phones out to the shelter.

HCHS is funded by a weekly licensed Bingo fundraiser, donations, memberships and a contract with the County for dog sheltering services. The adoptable list changes on a daily basis so please come in and meet all of our unique animals.

WHO WE ARE

The Henry County Humane Society (HCHS) is a non-profit, non-governmental, charitable organization, chartered under the State of Ohio for the purpose of preventing animal cruelty, and to instill humane principles in others. HCHS was formed in 1981 and in 1983 secured the appointment of the first Humane Agent in the county's history, and began operating an animal shelter in 1984.

HCHS staff provides quality care for all stray, homeless, abandoned and relinquished animals, and provides a full array of services for people with pets and/or pet problems, including lost and found pet assistance, adoptions, reclaims, pet surrenders, animal cruelty investigation, and general animal information assistance or referral.

ADOPTING A FRIEND

Anyone interested in adopting a pet from HCHS must fill out an Adoption Questionnaire. The Adoption Specialists then interview the potential adopter. During the 24 hour waiting period, a background check is completed and a dog is checked for Heartworm and/or a cat is checked for feline leukemia. The Animal Care Technicians and the Adoption Specialists make sure that the best possible match between potential owner and pet is accomplished.

Adoption fees include the cost to spay or neuter the animal, heartworm check and 4-way vaccination for dogs; feline leukemia check and 3-way vaccination for cats. The adoption fee for dogs is $100 and for cats is $80. All dogs that will remain in Ohio are required to have a current dog license when leaving the shelter. Dog license applications and fees ($14/license) will be completed at the time of adoption. We also offer discounts to senior citizens.

All adopters sign a legally binding contract to insure Veterinary Care for each animal.
