Ohio SPCA & Humane Society

Ohio SPCA & Humane Society The Ohio SPCA & Humane Society is a 501(c)3 organization that is funded solely by donations, grants, and bequests.

The HSOAC is now under the management of the Ohio SPCA. After struggling to serve the needs of the animals and the community for the past several years, the former Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Allen County made the decision to turn over the operation and functions of the humane society to the Ohio SPCA. This decision was based on the belief that the Ohio SPCA was the right organizat

ion to take the humane society into the future. Over the course of the next several months the humane society will be restructured during a transition period with many changes taking place. The mission of the humane society will be fulfilled with existing programs being strengthened and expanded and new programs being added. The Ohio SPCA is dedicated to helping animals through the education of adults and children, the elimination of overpopulation, and enforcing zero tolerance of animal cruelty. The Ohio SPCA has already trained four humane officers to respond to reports of animal abuse and neglect and enforce animal cruelty laws under the Ohio Revised Code. The Ohio SPCA will continue to rescue animals across the state, but Allen County animals and residents will receive help through county priority programs. It is our vision that the animal shelter become a family destination for people from everywhere to connect with animals of all kinds. As goals are reached, we believe that Allen County will become a shining star and the best place for animals in the State of Ohio.

🚨Medical Monday 🚨

Meet King Caesar. He was brought to our back door this past weekend as an injured stray. After examination it was found that he has a pretty nasty bite wound on his back leg. He has since been given pain medication, antibiotics, and daily medicated foot soaks to debride his wound. King Caesar is just one of 229 cats currently in our daily care. Almost daily we are met with new medical challenges and cost . With increased intake, 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 King Caesar and his friends out we have listed some desperate needs out of shelter cats and our link to our medical fund can be found at https://www.ohiospca.org/emergency-medical-funds. Thank you for all your support!

We absolutely LOVE hearing from you about the cats and dogs you have adopted from us!!!! It really does make us feel good seeing them thriving in their new homes!! Thank you for the update on Achilles and Megatron 🥹🐾

"We lost our first family pet/kitty boy Ozzy in a house fire 3 years ago. We were devastated as we weren’t home when it happened and didn’t even have the opportunity to save him. In June of 2024, we decided to adopt not one but two kitty boys from your Humane Society. Surprising the girls is still my favorite part; since then, they have truly become a part of our family and the best of buds! We renamed them Ragnar and Floki from Vikings! Floki loves to cuddle and will head butt your hand so you continue to pet him😂 Floki also likes to climb on me and lay on me while I sleep! Ragnar likes to sleep in our potted plants for some reason so we have to keep relocating those as he has flattened a few😂 And if these cats love anything, they love to sleep!😭😂 These are truly the best cats and I’m so glad we chose them both! "

Have you adopted from us?? Send us pictures and an update on how they are doing so we can share your story with everyone. Emails can be sent to [email protected]

🚨URGENT NEEDS🚨
This week we were called out to a residents in Lima after a gentleman lost his life to cancer. Though current circumstances of the animals were not ideal, he had tried to care for his animals the best he could. It was after his passing his friends and family were able to step in help take care of his animals and contact our organization to help bring them to safety. We ask that people please be kind. When we walked through this gentleman’s home it was clear by the set up he had once a nice home for these animals and his health got away from him. Sometimes our job is to not judge and to step up and help when it’s needed. We took in 9 cats that will require general and veterinary care. If you would like to help contribute to our emergency funds please visit ohiospca.org or follow the link below. Thank you.

Below are things we are desperately low on

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, Amelia hopes her luck will change. Amelia is a 5-year-old pit mix who would do best as being the only animal in the home. Amelia is good to attend day care and dog parks. Amelia is looking for a home with older kids and someone who will be patient with her as she transitions into a new environment. Due to Amelia being fearful of new people, a fenced-in yard is required.

Stop in to meet Amelia. She is approaching the 3-year mark at the shelter.

We are located at 3606 Elida Road, Lima. 419-991-1775. All available dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

Today Mya and Scarab ask for help with dog food and clumping cat litter. We are ALMOST out and could use a helping hand. Lots of new kitties and dogs have arrived at the shelter recently and we are going through both items quicker than normal. We are asking for both Purina One Chicken & Rice AND Purina One Small Bites as a lot of small dogs have been surrendered by their owners. The dog food and cat litter are on our Chewy and Amazon Wishlists. As always, we GREATLY appreciate all your support!!!

Mya is a 2.5-year-old deaf Pitbull that is super friendly and playful. Scarab is a 5.5-year-old male DMH cat. He is shy, but he loves attention once he gets to know you. Both are available for adoption. Come to the shelter and meet Mya and Scarab today!!! 🐾💙🩷

Our address is 3606 Elida Road, Lima, OH 45807. The back door is open daily from 9 to 3 for drop-off items or during our open hours. You can also order from our Amazon or Chewy wish lists below and the food will be shipped directly to us. There is also a link to our Shelter Food Fund donation page. Thank you for your support!!

✨Hello from Ben✨ Ben’s recovery over the last 3 weeks has been incredible. We truly didn’t know what to expected when he came through our doors on February 1st with a body temperature less than 90 degrees and a low heart rate. After many long nights and vet visits Ben is doing fantastic and recovering well from his hemobartonella diagnosis. We do have Ben scheduled with Dr. Fernandez this Wednesday for a follow up visit to check over a couple mild issues , but overall he’s doing really well. We have included a Ben’s “wishlist” that he helped us create for him and his shelter friends and their needs. Thank you for all your support during his recovery. #benthewarrior #ohiospca #sheltercats “Ben’s wishlist “ 🐾cat litter https://www.chewy.com/dr-elseys-ultra-unscented-clumping/dp/28977 🐾Forti Flora https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/49853 🐾 Viralys https://www.chewy.com/vetoquinol-viralys-powder-immune/dp/102632 🐾churu (Ben’s favorite) https://www.chewy.com/inaba-churu-tuna-chicken-puree/dp/184459 🐾 soup cups https://www.chewy.com/friskies-lil-soups-sockeye-salmon-in/dp/174898

✨Ben is doing great!✨ Don’t mind the purple face! That’s the magic medicine (Doxycycline) that’s helping Mr. Ben recover from his Haemobartonella. He is doing amazing overall. Ben is eating, drinking, and using the litterbox. He’s even fighting us more on cleaning his dirty face! He’s honestly the sweetest cat, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the ongoing support. Here’s just a video from this evening of Ben after getting his nightly meds. 🐈💕 #benthewarrior #ohiospca #recoveryispossible #sheltercats.

✨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 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.
