About

Founded in 1904, Wood County Humane Society is a private, non-profit, managed admission shelter providing care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals and investigating cruelty complaints in Wood County, Ohio. The organization receives no funding for its daily operations from national humane organizations, instead relying on earned revenue and the generosity of individual donors and businesses to fund our programs such as Safe Haven and food assistance programs, spay/neuter transport, and educational presentations. The WCHS provides care for over a thousand animals each year—from dogs and cats, to horses, goats, and pocket pets. All animals admitted into our adoption program are housed and cared for as long as it takes to find their fur-ever home.
