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.

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?

This is Nigel and Winston. They are two more of the goats we took in over the last few months. They were surrendered to us when their previous guardian could no longer care for them. Nigel is the bigger and more outgoing of the pair. They are sweet and get along with Honey, Caramel, and Jack, which is a good thing because space is at a premium with such a big influx (of tiny goats) in a short time.

Handsome, goofy, inquisitive... Why has no one picked David?
David has been with us since he was a very tiny tot, and has been in Kitty City since he was old enough to be adopted. Now at 8 months old, he has almost outgrown Kitty City and still hasn't had much interest. David is a fun, ornery guy that does well with other cats and loves kids. Anyone that looks his way is his new best friend! David doesn't yet know what it means to have a loving family, and he deserves that before his 1st birthday. Let's make it happen!

Percy does well with other animals and older children. He can be a little shy at first but then is a happy, silly pup once he feels safe with you. Percy weighs 39 # and is working on gaining some more weight, being in a home is sure to help him with that!

This trio of pygmy 1 1/2-year-old goats came to us after losing their home. A kind neighbor took care of them for a short time and even paid for one of them to have medical care. We picked them up and brought them to the farm sanctuary, their forever home. They are adorable but very naughty. We tried to put MoMoe in with them so he wouldn't be so lonely, but they were mean to him. They are in the main barn now but in a separate enclosure until we can integrate them with the main herd. Fingers crossed.

Getting good pictures of them is hard because they are always on the move. And they are rarely apart.

Andy is such a smart boy, he’s going to make his future family very happy! 🐾
Andy is around a year old and is a playful, goofy guy. As a high energy dog, he needs a family that will give him lots of playtime! Andy does well with other dogs and loves people of all ages. While he loves kids, he will try and kiss/jump on them and may knock over littles. He may benefit from basic training from his future family, but he does know basic commands. Andy weighs around 50 #.

Peek-a-boo, Mittens sees you! 🐾
Are you looking for a cat with a ridiculous amount of toe beans? Mittens is your gal, she almost has too many to count! Mittens was abandoned by her previous owners, so unfortunately we don't know much of her history. What we do know is that she is friendly towards all cats and people, and is around 1 year old. She isn't much of a talker but does like to explore new places once she feels comfortable. Mittens is ready to meet you in our front atrium room!

Senior animals can bring so much love to a home, and Booker doesn't want to spend his senior years in a shelter. Please come visit him in our senior room!

Mya is in her Halloween jammies and is ready to cuddle! 🎃

This sweet Pittie came to us from a neglectful situation. She is deaf, or at least hard of hearing... There have been times that we believe she's heard us 👀
Mya does well with children and would need to meet any other dogs in the home. She is around 2 years old and enjoys lots of playing and time to goof around. Just because she can't hear doesn't mean she doesn't love to be silly! She automatically sits for treats and loves to sit in your lap. Anyone is sure to fall in love with this girl 🐾

We would like to thank Bok Custom Concrete for their help!
Our friend Layla loooves to play with her water pails 🪣 She will tip any water out as soon as it’s filled up, but then would have none for drinking! We tried a few things but she outsmarted us with all of them. These gentleman created a concrete water pail for her, and it is strong enough that she is unable to move it. Now we can be sure that Layla will stay hydrated, and of course have other toys to play with.
Thank you for your support! 🐾

Meet Fawn! This sweet senior was abandoned by her previous owners at 9 years old. The past is the past, and she's ready for a fresh start with a forever home. Fawn is quiet and laid back, exactly what you would expect from a senior. She does well with other calm cats like herself, and does well with respectable children. She's not one to make a fuss of things, she just wants a nice family with plenty of wet food and soft places to nap. Could you be the one for her?

Either Cookie Monster is enjoying a butt scratch, or he's complaining about his empty bowl. I'm betting on the former because he's too sweet to complain. Cookie Monster was removed from a neglectful home in 2022. One of his forelegs has a contracted tendon, so you'll often see him on his knees. He can get around well on his three good legs, however.

Tucker chose to dress up for Halloween!

We are shocked that this handsome fella is still at the shelter! He and his sister (who has been adopted) were surrendered to no fault of their own. He is a 2 year old Collie/Sheltie mix that weighs 50 #. Tucker does well with children and would need to meet any other dogs in the home to ensure they get along well. He has not done well with cats during interactions with them. Tucker has a great disposition and is always up for making new friends ❤️

Hear Me Out: Shelter Edition!

Have you heard of the Hear Me Out trend? Our staff decided to give our own spin on it and do a shelter edition! Each person chose an adoptable cat/dog that has some quirks, but still deserves a shout out and a furever home! Which would you choose?

You be the judge: Innocent or guilty? 🧑‍⚖️🐾❤️

Blaze and his ✨pigtails✨ are ready for a furever home! He has plenty of floof to style to your hearts content ❤️ 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!

How cute is Marcus and his happy wiggle? 🥰 Marcus has been waiting for someone to pick him for 9 months! Marcus was starved and very emaciated when he was pulled by our rescue team back in the 2022. He had a short lived adoption but was returned. Now, Marcus’ past is behind him and he’s ready to live the good life! Marcus is happy-go-lucky, he enjoys going for walks and playing with toys but is also a snuggler. He loves his family wholeheartedly and will want to protect them from danger. Marcus does well with other dogs and people of all ages. He does need a home with no cats. Marcus is 3 years old and will bring so much love and laughter to his forever family. Could that be you?
