Many people get confused when they talk about the Athens County Humane Society. First off, they are in no way associated with the Athens County Dog Shelter, which is located in Millfield, Ohio. In fact, the humane society does not even have a physical shelter or place of business. All adoptions are done by appointment or can occasionally be done at an adoption event.
One of the benefits of the humane society is that they offer a great deal of help for people that have just purchased a shelter dog and are trying to make it a part of the family. The humane society's Web site offers links to informational videos that can help people that are new with these type of dogs.
The Athens County Humane Society is also a 100% volunteer-supported organization that is always looking for new members. If you are interested in helping the cause, you can find more information about this opportunity here.
The site also offers links that truly pull on your heartstrings. This You Tube video, called "Don't buy while shelter dogs die," is an audio slideshow using the song, "Take a Look at Me Now." Don't watch unless you can handle your emotions!
If you have any more questions about the humane society, don't hesitate to post them here.

When I graduate and move into my more-permanent digs I plan on getting an older shelter dog. Your blog offers so much helpful information.
ReplyDeleteThere are more foster home dog shelters than I originally thought.
A think a great resource for anyone looking for a dog/cat/iguana/whatever is www.petfinder.com
You can search by location/animal/breed/age/special needs. These are people who really love animals and want to make sure they find forever families.
Yeah, I agree completely. Petfinder has grown to become such a fantastic classified site for animals. Hopefully more people will hear about this and utilize it to the fullest.
