Surrender
The Wood County Humane Society accepts friendly stray cats, and owned cats and dogs by appointment only. If you have found a stray dog, please contact the Wood County Dog Shelter. If you have a wildlife concern, please contact Nature’s Nursery.
Report Cruelty
To report suspected animal cruelty, neglect, and/or abandonment, please contact our shelter at 419-352-7339 (Option 5), or complete a report that will be sent directly to Humane Agent. If you are calling after hours, and it is a life or death emergency involving cruelty, neglect, and/or abandonment of animal, please contact the Wood County Sheriff's Office at 419-354-9001.
Pet Food Assistance
We all love our pets and know what type of support they can offer us, especially when times get tough. Wood County Residents may apply for monthly assistance for up to 6 months at a time.
We will do what we can to help you and your companions as you recover. We also offer food assistance for caregivers of free-roaming cat colonies to encourage spaying and neutering, and continual care of these felines. Please fill out the appropriate application and submit it in person with your driver’s license.
Trap Neuter Release
Wood County Humane Society endorses community efforts to control community cat populations.
Not all outdoor cats are pets and the best way to address colonies of outdoor cats is through the process of TNR or Trap Neuter Release.
At this time we do not have the capacity to provide services for TNR at our shelter. However, we do have traps and carriers available for rental.
Transport to Humane Ohio will be available in 2026!!
All inquires should reach out to: woodcountyhumanesociety@gmail.com to apply.
Prices for services have changed this year so please be prepared with your appropriate funds.
Transport space and dates are predetermined by Humane Ohio's capacity.
Safe Pets
WCHS aims to help victims of domestic violence and hospitalized community members remain with or be reunited with their pets. Space is limited and first come first serve. This service is provided completely free but donations are gratefully accepted. If you are a case worker looking for placement, please contact us at: woodcountyhumanesociety@gmail.com
