The problem is no longer with cruelty to working animals, but to domestic pets. We realize there is a need to do something about it. The Society's appointed agents investigate all reported cases of alleged cruelty to animals in Lucas County. While education to solve the problem is the preferred recourse, there are cases that will be resolved in a court of law. Healthy domestic animals are accepted for adoption at the Society as space permits.
Tours are also available at the building for any interested group.
The Society acts as an information referral center for any animal-related problem. The library in the Society's building is open to the public for information and research. This is a special program that provides for the release of animals to the Humane Society from individuals who have fixed or low incomes or receive public assistance. These citizens are in a personal or financial crisis with no means of relief. We want to help animals that are in a deteriorating condition and those that, if kept in the present environment, will become so.
