We know you must hear it a lot, but we (the workers at the Shelter and Animal Control) truly do love ALL of the animals that come through our doors.

It is hard not to get attached and just hope and pray someone else sees what see see in them. The love they give us, the laughter, tears and joy! Each with their own unique and special personality. The longer they stay with us the more attached we get, and take to heart when they are not given the chance to shine with a family of their very own.😔.

One particular dog named Lover Boy, who has spent two Christmas’s with his shelter family now… has really won the hearts of us all!

This sweet and gentle boy, who would greet us every morning with his big beautiful brown eyes, tail wags and kisses for days! We could not understand why no one would give him the chance.. the chance to show just how good of a boy he is.❤️

But, it is true what they say, “All good things come to those whose wait.” And.. maybe a little Christmas magic..🎄❤️🐾

That After 395 days, our sweet Lover boy finally found what we wish all our animals could find. A home and family to call his very own!

His new family has adopted from us before and lost their beloved dog Sprint. We think Sprint guided them to us, to our Boy that day.

They just came to look… but as fate allows, when something is meant to be.. it will be! 🥹❤️🐾

So, with tear filled eyes and hearts so full of love!! We give you Lover Boy and his new and forever family!!🥹❤️😍🐾💗.

Thank you so very much! Thank you for not only giving him a home; but the family he has always wanted and deserved! 😍❤️🥰🐾🎄

Dear Shelter pets, Being a shelter pet is not an easy thing, we know that. We sit in these kennels day in and day out.. watching the world pass us by. We know we can be loud when you walk into our kennels, but it's because we are SO excited to see a new face and have hopes this is it! It's my time and my turn to shine and find my forever family! But, then they leave.. and we sit.. we wait.. and we hope. Tomorrow comes and for some it is a happy ending they have always dreamed of, but for others it gets harder and harder.😔 We then look to our "moms" and "dads" at the shelter, (the staff) for comfort. The smiles and love they give us each and every day is what helps keep us going. The hope in their eyes and kind words "I know you are sad, but it will be ok, your time will come. Until then I am here for you."❤️ Remember dear friends, remember even when those days get hard and the times seem unbearable...do not give up hope! One day our time will come! I believe with all my heart, we all are here for a purpose and to find a family to love!🥹❤️🐾 Love, Skeet🐾

Skeet and his BFF Buddy had a play date yesterday! Skeet wanted us to let you know, what a good boy he is and how he would just love a family with another dog to play and run amuck with!😍 If you would like to know more about Skeet or any of our shelter pets, please call (419)423-1664 or message us on Facebook!😍❤️🐾

Skeet, who almost a year later.. is still waiting on his forever family🥺

The Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County

n June 18, 1888, residents of Hancock County who were concerned with issues related to animal welfare and control, including education, incorporated the Humane Society of Hancock County. Throughout the next 70 to 80 years, due to the loosely structured and undocumented nature of animal care, there is little information readily available; so the work of the Society is a mystery, but remains an ongoing research project.

On September 20, 1969, Miss Ann Rieck, a lover of animals, leased her farm in Amanda Township to the Society to be used as a shelter. Volunteers made things habitable and constructed kennels. The first adoptions completed at the shelter were those animals found on the farm when the volunteers first arrived. The Humane Society was also reincorporated in 1969.

Early 1970’s highlights included:


  • The appointment of the first Humane Agent.
