"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men"
St. Francis of Assisi
Abuse and Neglect: The Humane Society is the only organization in Fayette County responsible for enforcing the humane laws of the state of Ohio. The Humane Society employs 2 trained and certified Humane Agents who are available 24/7 to respond to calls of abused, neglected, injured or abandoned domestic animals. The Humane Agents will take steps to rectify any abuse or neglect, from issuing warnings to filing charges.
Adoptions: The Humane Society adoption program finds homes for over 400 kittens, puppies, cats and dogs each year. Because the Society does not have a shelter, we work through a system of foster homes. All animal's health and dispositions are checked, they are tested for infectious diseases and treated as needed. They then spayed or neutered. Adoptable animals are listed on Petfinder.org, taken to the Beavercreek PetSmart, or adopted locally.
Spay/Neuter: The Humane Society offers a program of assistance to needy Fayette County pet owners to have their dogs or cats spayed or neutered. The program will pay up to 1/2 the cost of the procedure when performed by local veterinarians.
Animal Assistance Program: For households at or below the poverty income level help with food, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and veterinary care can be provided free of charge.
Trap,Neuter,Return: The Trap,Neuter,Return program offers an alternative to euthanasia for unowned, stray and feral cats. Feral cats are spayed or neutered and join colonies under the care of committed caretakers who provide food, water and shelter. As new cats enter the colony, they are also spayed of neutered.
Education: The Humane Society sponsors an education program called Kind News. This program provides fun and educational newsletters for city and county classrooms, as well as other children's organizations. The newsletters are produced by the National Humane Education Society and provide age-appropriate information about animal care and welfare.
