WCHS provides shelter for surrendered, abused or abandoned cats and kittens, and surrendered or abused dogs and puppies, as well as other domestic animals. The Wood County Humane Society shelters hundreds of animals each year.
A team of volunteers travels to various educational programs each month. Some of these events include school presentations, community days and senior center seminars.
A cruelty investigator investigates each and every cruelty, neglect or abuse call that comes in from Wood County residents. Some of these investigations result in simply educating individuals about how to properly care for their pets. Several cases result in the owner surrendering a pet or, in some cases, confiscation of the pet.
If you lost your pet, stop by the shelter to see if someone found your animal and brought it to the WCHS. You should also bring flyers that include a description and photo of your pet. All flyers will be posted at the shelter.
While the WCHS Spay/Neuter Program is less than three years old, 300 more dogs and cats will not be contributing to overpopulation. This program, with the help of many local vets, provides vouchers of financial assistance to pet owners willing to spay or neuter their pets. When one considers that one cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years, it is easy to understand the need for a spay/neuter program. Vouchers may be picked up at the WCHS. Donations to this fund are welcomed.
Owners who can no longer care for healthy animals of agreeable temperament may surrender them to the Wood County Humane Society for temporary care while the owner finds a new home for the pet. To help offset the cost of caring for these animals, we charge surrender fees of $40 per adult animal and $25 for litters of up to five kittens or puppies under 3 months of age. This service is offered on a space-available basis.
