Another adoption success story!
On a sunny afternoon, this warm-hearted family found their newest member through our Greene County Ohio Humane Society website adoption connection. Drawn to the dog's gentle eyes and loving nature, they knew she was meant to be part of their lives. After a smooth adoption process, they brought her home, where she instantly bonded with everyone, especially during quiet moments in their cozy sunroom. Now, with her bright yellow harness and wagging tail, she is the perfect addition, bringing joy and love to their peaceful country home. The family cherishes every moment spent together, grateful for the happiness their new furry friend has brought into their lives.​

10,000th Cat! (And then some)

The Humane Society of Greene County reached a milestone this month when it treated the 10,000th cat at its monthly spay/neuter clinic.  Started in 2006, these same day clinics offer a low cost alternative for controlling the pet population and are available to any Greene County resident caring for outside cats at a cost of $15 for male cats and $20 for females.  Inoculations are also available for a minimum additional charge.  They do not operate a shelter. 

Spaying and neutering are vital in preventing pet overpopulation, especially with stray cats.  A female cat may have up to four litters of kittens a year, many of which end up in animal shelters or are left to fend for themselves.  It's just as important to neuter male cats since far-roaming males can create litters with any unaltered female in heat.  It also greatly reduces their chances of injury from fighting, and curbs undesirable behaviors like spraying.  Neutering is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a lifetime of benefits for both the cat and the community. 

The Humane Society of Greene County also offers a second reduced cost spay/neuter program for both cats and dogs for low to medium level income families.  In 2022, the total number of dogs and cats spayed or neutered through both programs totaled 1,581.   

A 501(c)3 nonprofit group of volunteers, the Humane Society relies on  donations and grants since it receives no funding from local government or  national level animal related organizations.   

The clinics are held the second Saturday of each month but you must register in advance by calling the Humane Society at 937-376-3001 or visit their web site at www.humanesocietygreenecounty.com ​
