Ross County Dog Warden

Since our foundation in 1912, the Ross County Humane Society has been committed to the general welfare, shelter and placement of animals, prevention of cruelty and over population, and education concerning humane treatment of all living creatures.

When we first started, we had a tiny shelter where people could adopt cats and kittens. We usually adopt 150–200 cats annually, but we were having trouble seeing a decline in the number of stray cats in our neighborhood.

Our goal is to place the animals that have been confiscated by the Humane Society or given to us by the courts as a result of cruelty, abuse, or neglect in loving homes.

As required by Chapter 955 of the Ohio Revised Code, the Pickaway County Canine Shelter is a county-owned and -operated dog shelter.

GAP is a foster care organization that works throughout central Ohio. We have a strong commitment to saving animals and providing them FURever homes.
