Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐾 85 DOGS. ONE INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY RESPONSE.
You may have seen the recent news coverage about the 85 dogs rescued from a commercial breeding operation in Ashland County. Two members of our HSDC team were there to help transport some of these dogs to safety—and we were honored to take 5 of them into our care. ❤️
Humane Society of Ashland County Ohio is now caring for dozens of dogs from this situation, placing an enormous strain on their already limited kennel space, resources, and budget.
Like us, the Humane Society of Ashland County is not funded or supported by the county. They rely entirely on donations and the generosity of their community to care for animals in need. Every dollar makes a difference as they take on the significant costs that come with caring for this many dogs at once.
Take a moment to watch the news coverage below—you may even spot two familiar HSDC faces helping these dogs on their journey to safety! 🐾
Together, shelters can do more. ...

🏡 HAPPY TAILS: NEW HOMES, NEW BEGINNINGS! 🐾
Another week, another group of happy endings!
We’re celebrating all of the animals who found their families this week — including Salsa, one of our longest-stay dogs! Seeing her finally head home makes this week’s adoptions especially meaningful.
To every family who opened their heart and home to an HSDC animal: thank you. Thank you for choosing adoption, for giving these animals the love and security they deserve, and for welcoming a new family member into your lives.
Congratulations to all of our adopters and their new furry family members!
These are the moments that keep us going — the happy endings, the second chances, and the joy of watching animals find the families they’ve been waiting for. Even when things get tough, this is why we do what we do. ❤️
Here’s to many years of love, adventures, and happy memories together! 🏡🐾 ...
