Harrison County Dog Pound

A "quality of life" refuge for abandoned and mistreated animals in the Ohio Valley is called Hounds' Haven.

The Jefferson County Humane Society (JCHS), one of the oldest charitable organizations in our area, was first formed in 1915. It was created to be an advocate for Jefferson County's animals and at that time, before children's services programs, it was also an advocate for children. Children's Services and the Humane Society still have a reporting and information-sharing agreement in place.

We are a non-profit organization, and neither local, state, nor federal taxes are used to directly support us. We do not receive any financial assistance from local or national animal welfare organizations.

Visit the Bosney and Densmore Animal Shelter and adopt a pet. Before you come to Mingo Junction, Ohio, check out the pets we have available.

Our goal at the Belmont County Animal Shelter is to save the lives of stray, abandoned animals in our care, find missing dogs their owners, safeguard the public's safety, and prevent both people and their pets from health-related problems.

The sole registered humane society in Belmont County and the oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to animal welfare is the Belmont County Animal Rescue League.
