The Ohio SPCA & Humane Society is dedicated to the elimination of cruelty, abuse, neglect and abandonment of animals. The Society will shelter animals in times of need, locate lifelong homes, and promote responsible pet ownership through education, legislation and sterilization.


The HSOAC is now under the management of the Ohio SPCA. After struggling to serve the needs of the animals and the community for the past several years, the former Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Allen County made the decision to turn over the operation and functions of the humane society to the Ohio SPCA. This decision was based on the belief that the Ohio SPCA was the right organization to take the humane society into the future. Over the course of the next several months the humane society will be restructured during a transition period with many changes taking place. The mission of the humane society will be fulfilled with existing programs being strengthened and expanded and new programs being added. The Ohio SPCA is dedicated to helping animals through the education of adults and children, the elimination of overpopulation, and enforcing zero tolerance of animal cruelty. The Ohio SPCA has already trained four humane officers to respond to reports of animal abuse and neglect and enforce animal cruelty laws under the Ohio Revised Code. The Ohio SPCA will continue to rescue animals across the state, but Allen County animals and residents will receive help through county priority programs. It is our vision that the animal shelter become a family destination for people from everywhere to connect with animals of all kinds. As goals are reached, we believe that Allen County will become a shining star and the best place for animals in the State of Ohio.
