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

Those eyes can see all!
Fruit Basket certainly rocked our world when she came to us back in April, with her litter of just born babies. She was very protective of them! Now that they are grown and she’s on her own, she has cooled off. She is looking for a family that will give her time to adjust to a new space. Also, FB hates men, there’s no cutting corners there. She’s looking for a ladies only home and would do best with no kids under 5. Slow introductions with other cats are needed.

We are located at 3606 Elida Road, Lima. All available cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

Forget "the grass is always greener." These goats believe that the water is always wetter on the other side. They have two identical containers inside their pen. Silly goats.

Our handsome friend Blaze is ready to find a furever home!
Blaze is a ~2 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix. He is shy towards new people at first, but once he trusts you he will be your shadow. He is the most loyal guy you could ask for! Blaze would do best with no kids under 5 in the home as he can be easily spooked. A meet and greet with any other dogs in the home is required, but he did live with many others in the past and did fine! Blaze needs a home with no cats. This handsome fella is ready to meet you!

Little Miss Boop has been on the adoption floor for over a month now, but she has not received any interest in that time. This cutie came to us after being attacked by a dog, which caused some trauma to her eyes. Boop still has some vision and will let you know by playfully pouncing on your hands! She does well with other animals and children, she just needs someone to see past what makes her “different” and see the sweetheart that she is. Boop is 6 months old and would love to meet you ❤️

Amelia has spent over a year with not a single application for her. She needs a very special someone to give her the life she deserves!
Amelia came to the shelter as part of a cruelty case. She is a small mixed breed dog around ~35 pounds. She has a quiet and gentle soul, and the shelter is overwhelming to her. Amelia is looking to be the only animal in the home, and prefers a quiet and calm home environment. She is easily frightened and because of this, requires a physical fenced in yard. Amelia may be considered high maintenance in her needs, but she is going to be the best cuddle partner for the right person. She is around 4 years old.

Arcee's past is a story of fear and hard times. She came to us as an absolutely terrified stray with her just born babies, a very young mom that likely had never been shown kindness by humans before. Once she understood she was safe with us, her gentle and sweet personality shined through.
If you sit and talk to her, Arcee will start to make biscuits on her blanket and come up to you for pets. Arcee does great with other cats and we imagine would do fine with children. She has truly blossomed into a curious, social gal! She will be a great companion to someone, maybe someone lonely like herself. Arcee is around 1 year old and is ready for a fresh start in life.

This is Domino, a beautiful goat that is a little rough around the edges. He appeared at a construction site in Columbus. Demolition and not construction would be more of his skillset. The workers there named him Domino because they fed him pizza. One of them took him home and called us.
He is the sweetest and has a lot to say. When he arrived, he was intact, and now that he has been neutered, he needs to remain in quarantine for up to eight weeks to ensure no little Dominos arrive in the future. Although they would be the cutest. He has found his forever home with us.

It's physically impossible to not fall in love with Boris. If you don't believe us, then you'll have to come see him for yourself!
Boris is around 8 years old and is looking for a relaxed home with a lot of love to give. He is usually found napping throughout the day, and loves to snuggle. He is the perfect lap cat!

The second-to-last delivery of hay arrived yesterday. Despite the drought, we fortunately found the 2,000 bales from multiple sources we need to feed the animals at our farm sanctuary through next summer. We are at 71% of our goal thanks to our incredible supporters. Can you help us raise the remaining $4,774 to cover our costs?
