Ohio SPCA

Ohio SPCA The Ohio SPCA intercedes on behalf of all animals and brings about change to situations and practices in which cruelty, neglect, or suffering exists.

The Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals works to prevent and stop cruelty to animals throughout Ohio.The Ohio SPCA is the leading statewide organization for rescuing animals. Hundreds of companion and farm animals are rescued and rehabilitated by the Ohio SPCA every year. Additionally, many animals are helped through educating their owners about proper care. Whenever possible, we

help provide feed or medical care to families or individuals faced with a temporary financial hardship. Every humane organization dreams of the day when cruelty to animals can be reduced to the point of elimination. The Ohio SPCA (formerly known as the Ohio Humane Education Association) was formed in 1983 to help bring this dream to reality through humane education.Founded by two school teachers, the goal was to educate adults and children about the need to be kind to all animals. Ohio SPCA Goals:

- To extend to present and future generations humane education, which will lead to an awareness of the need for people to be responsible and kind stewards over animals.

- To rescue and rehabilitate abused animals and then place them in new forever homes.

-To bring reform to Ohio's county dog shelters through eliminating the use of inhumane euthanasia such as gas chambers and through promoting proactive adoption practices. Those of us involved in Ohio SPCA believe that many people are unaware of inhumane practices and the suffering that many animals are forced to endure. No one likes to talk about pain, suffering, and death, but change can’t take place unless the facts are presented to the public. Adults and children must be educated about problems such as pet overpopulation, factory farming, and animal experimentation. Once they know and understand what has been hidden from them, a percentage of these people will at least speak out against the inhumanity or actively decide to help. http://www.ohiospca.org

We are thrilled to hear Blakely (now Bowie) is adjusting well to her new home 🐾🩷

An update from her family:

"She is doing amazing. I’m telling you no issues whatsoever. Best dog we’ve ever had. Today, we took her to Petco groomers. She had a good report with them too. So chill, sweet, house trained. My husband & I keep telling each other, we love her. It’s crazy to think she was surrendered. But yeah we are going to keep her free roam when I go to work. Already training her for 5 AM wake up morning routine, she does well. We are so happy 😀"

Jam and Honey look guilty of something. In fact, they were caught cuddling in the corner. 💕 Jam is quite the Romeo. He also romances Billie from time to time. Honey's the newest female goat in the barn, so she caught his eye. 😍 It's all innocent fun, as our male goats are neutered. 😁

We have lots of kittens for adoption!!!! Come by the shelter to adopt one this week!! 💙🩷

And with lots of kittens comes a significant need for kitty litter!! Our regular supplier ran short this month, so we are desperately low on clumping cat litter 😭 What usually lasts us a month is only lasting a week. If you want to donate to the shelter, we could use clumping cat litter!!! 🐾 The cats and staff thank you!!!

Litter can be dropped off at the back door daily from 9 to 3 or during our open hours. Thank you for your support!! You can also order from our wish lists at Chewy and Amazon, which will be delivered directly

We are SO excited that Dukie quickly found a new place to call home. Dukie was surrendered after his owner passed away. Dukie spent his days happily on his previous owner's lap. We are happy to announce that after just a few short weeks, Dukie has officially found a new lap to spend his days on 💙🐾 We will miss you Dukie!!! You are a special boy, and your father is smiling down, seeing you will be taken care of!!

✨Ben is back at the shelter✨ Ben is finally back at the humane society recovering from hemobartonella. The doctors felt he was stable enough to be transferred back to our care to finish out his recovery. He will spend the next two weeks in medical isolation to prevent any other animals from being infected. Once he is well enough we will get him neuter and ready for adoption. Ben is just one of over 200 cats currently in our daily care. We are running desperately low on cat litter with maybe less than a week supply left of clumping litter. If you would like to help Ben and his friends out we have listed some desperate needs out of shelter cats. Thank you for all your support!

He’s an absolute cuddle bug. We have already fell in love with Ben. Thank you to everyone that has donated and sent positive thoughts his way.
