Adams County is experiencing an unprecedented Kitten Season this year. Calls are coming in every day from desperate people trying to find placement for kittens that have been dumped on their property. Unfortunately, because the Humane Society’s new animal shelter is not yet accepting animals, we are limited in our ability to help these little orphans. By opening your heart and home to an animal in need, you can provide the temporary care necessary to allow that animal a chance to thrive while it waits for the right family to adopt it. If you are interested in fostering kittens (or puppies) for the Humane Society, please call us at (937) 587-2727 or email us at jajjekyll@yahoo.com.
If you are unable to foster an animal, please consider helping in other ways, such as donating cat and dog food, kitten and puppy chow, paper towels, clorox bleach, clorox detergent, and/or money to help cover the cost of vet bills.
The animals thank you!
The Humane Society of Adams County is now offering basic obedience classes to dog owners. The next class starts Tuesday, June 18, 2013. This class is a basic obedience-level class for dogs 6 months old and older (no dog is too old to join the class!). The class will meet every Tuesday from 6:00pm until 7:00pm for 7 weeks. The first class is an orientation for owners only (please leave your dog at home the first week). Classes are held at the brand new Animal Shelter in West Union, Ohio. Class cost is $75 per dog. All dogs must be fully vaccinated to participate. Classes will be taught by local resident Margie Morrison, who has over 25 years of dog training experience. Class size is limited to 15 participants. For more information, or to register for the next class starting June 18, please contact Margie at (419) 238-1672 or send an email to jajjekyll@yahoo.com with the following information:
The Humane Society of Adams County will be hosting the RASCAL unit at the new animal shelter throughout 2013. RASCAL stands for the Roaming Animal Sterilization Clinic at Low Cost. This wonderful organization provides spays and neuters to about 40 animals per visit and, as the name implies, at very reasonable prices. The clinic also offers low-cost vaccinations, heartworm testing, feline leukemia and immunodeficiency virus testing, microchipping, and dental cleanings/extractions. You can find RASCAL pricing information by visiting their website at www.rascalunit.com.
To attend a RASCAL clinic in Adams County, please set up an appointment by leaving a message with Teresa, our RASCAL scheduling volunteer, at 937-544-2894. Clinics are held at the new Animal Shelter building at 11481 State Route 41 in West Union, near WalMart. The gravel driveway for the animal shelter is located between the Adams County Shelter for the Homeless and Grandview Weekend Outlet.

Humane Society of Adams County’s new Animal Shelter
You’ve heard the rumors, (“Psst, did you hear there’s a new animal shelter being built in West Union?”), and maybe you’ve even inspected the site, (near the WalMart Super Center). The Humane Society of Adams County has indeed nearly completed construction on a brand new animal shelter facility after six long years of fundraising, grant-writing, campaigning, and saving. The new shelter will house offices, a pleasant reception area for visitors, kennels with indoor-outdoor access for up to twenty dogs, a room dedicated solely to cats, and a meeting area for board members and possible public rental. The monthly Roaming Animal Sterilization Clinic (RASCAL) will be held on-site at the new building, offering local residents a low-cost alternative to getting their pets spayed/neutered. Animal lovers will be invited to participate in a volunteer training program to be eligible to help out at the new facility. Fundraisers will be able to be held in the shelter, and, most importantly, unwanted animals in Adams County will have a clean and safe place to rest while awaiting adoption into their forever homes.
