Stop the Overpopulation-Pets

The main function of the Richland County Dog Warden's Office and Adoption Center is to act as an organization and facility for animal control in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code's provisions, while simultaneously boosting the number of adopted canines by raising public awareness.

Animal welfare is the focus of the 501c3 nonprofit organization The Humane Society of Richland County. We do not receive financing from the state, local, or federal governments, nor are we associated with the Humane Society of the United States.

Canines brought in by the dog warden or stray dogs are taken in by the Ashland County Dog Shelter. Before being released to the owner or being vaccinated and placed up for adoption, the dogs are detained for a predetermined period of time.

The Ashland County Humane Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run entirely by volunteers that is committed to the welfare of animals in the Ashland County region.

The Morrow County Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) charity. Since 1974, we have worked to ensure the humane treatment of all animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and other species. This endeavor is still ongoing.
