The services provided by the Wood County Humane Society are not duplicated by any other agency in Wood County. A volunteer board of directors, a part-time paid staff and many generous community volunteers help to keep WCHS in operation.
The Wood County Humane Society's services include:
Sheltering Animals 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. The shelter population is almost always at capacity and preference must be given to animals involved in cruelty and abandonment cases over surrenders. If you must surrender your pet, please consider one of the following options. Dogs/Puppies

Education A team of volunteers travels to various educational programs each month. Some of these events include school presentations, community days and senior center seminars.
Investigation 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.
Lost and Found 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.
Spay/Neuter Program 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 financial assistance to pet owners willing to spay or neuter their pets. The program also operates a Trap-Neuter-Release process to work with communities to help control the stray/feral populations in Wood County. 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. For more information on spay/neuter services offered through the WCHS spay/neuter program, contact the shelter at (419)352-7339. Donations to this fund are welcomed.
