The Humane Society of Greene County is an independent, non-profit organization, run by volunteers. 

We do not operate a shelter but all our programs are specifically designed with the goal of alleviating animal abuse and suffering throughout Greene County, Ohio. We prevent animal suffering from overpopulation through affordable spay/neuter programs

An Ongoing Greene County Rescue

It Started With Sean.

One sheep in trouble led us to a much bigger story — more sheep, Maurice the goat, Truman, ducks and cats, and an all-volunteer rescue effort that is still unfolding.

The rescue isn't over. Follow along as the next chapters happen.

Great news — Bubba has been reunited with his family!

His owner found Bubba through this page and contacted us, bringing this story to the happy ending we were hoping for.

Thank you to everyone who shared his story and helped get the word out. Sometimes a simple share really does help bring a lost pet home.

We Need You.

If you know livestock, care about animal welfare, and want to make a real difference here in Greene County, this may be the volunteer role for you.

Volunteer Opportunity

Livestock Agent Needed

The Humane Society of Greene County is looking for a volunteer with hands-on livestock experience to assist with farm-animal welfare checks and investigations under the guidance of our humane agents.

We're looking for someone with:
  • Strong knowledge of livestock care and handling — horses, cattle, goats, pigs and similar animals.
  • Compassion, good judgment and reliability.
  • The ability to communicate professionally with animal owners, the public and law enforcement.
  • A willingness to help protect animals while also working constructively with people whenever possible.
Rotating schedule: approximately one week per month on call.

HSGC is an all-volunteer organization. If you're passionate about protecting livestock and want your experience to have a direct local impact, we'd like to hear from you.

A Story of Second Chances

Big Wolly & Doug

In March 2025, a concerned call led our humane agents to two donkeys living with neglected hooves. Their owner was injured, overwhelmed and asked for help.

A veterinarian and farrier stepped in, the boys received treatment, and volunteers spent weeks earning enough trust to safely handle, deworm and trailer them. Their recovery has meant patience, specialized care and more than a few negotiations with two very opinionated donkeys.

“They didn’t give up on people — so we won’t give up on them.”

An Easy Way to Help

Don't Throw It Away — Donate It.

Your old electronics can still do some good. The Humane Society of Greene County accepts used cell phones and printer cartridges as part of a recycling fundraiser that helps support our animal-welfare programs.

Old Cell Phones

Upgrading your phone? Instead of leaving the old one in a drawer or sending it to the landfill, donate it to HSGC for recycling.

Used Printer Cartridges

Save your empty printer cartridges and bring them to us. Recycling them helps raise money while keeping reusable materials out of the waste stream.

Where to Drop Them Off

Humane Society of Greene County
187 Bellbrook Ave.
Xenia, OH 45385

Clean out a drawer. Keep something out of the landfill. Help an animal.
