Our Pet List

Spring is here! Remember to spay or neuter your pets. Help reduce the number of unwanted litters!

As warmer weather approaches, we all know kitten and puppy season will be arriving as well. The importance of spaying and neutering your pet is evident when you see all of the kittens and puppies that are surrendered to shelters. If you need assistance in getting your pets spayed or neuterd, please contact the shelter; we may be able to help! 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. All dogs adopted through the Henry County Humane Society are eligible for 4 weeks of free clicker training being offered by volunteer, Terrie Stephens, a certified pet trainer. Please visit our pet list often - there are always many loving souls waiting to say "there's no place like home."

Come join the fun!! We are planning a number of fundraisers this year. To prepare for that, we are holding regular fundraising committee meetings and have some great events in the works. Want to help? Send us an email at hchs@embarqmail.com. Please come and help us raise some funds and make friends to help our animals.

Volunteering and 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 looking for volunteers to help with a fundraising committee, and our newsletter.

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 Specialist then interviews 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 Specialist 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 legal binding contract to insure Veterinary Care for each animal.
