(Bowling Green, OH)- A month ago Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) assisted Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Animal Rescue Team with a hoarding situation in Southern Ohio. Immediate medical care was given to the 166 animals living in deplorable conditions. WCHS is an Emergency Placement Partner for HSUS to offer assistance for cases of this kind. WCHS had taken in sixteen animals to start and most of them have been adopted to their forever homes. Since then an additional six dogs from that case have been brought in to the shelter.
The remaining dogs range from adult to senior ages. They are mixed breeds and are medium sized. VP of Operations Deb Johnson who helped with veterinary needs and the transport of the animals stated, “These dogs are all very friendly and lovable.” Some were in need of further medical attention, such as dentals, once transported to WCHS. Most are now available for adoption at the shelter and any potential owner can fill out an application. Pictures of the dogs can be found on the WCHS website www.woodcountyhumanesociety.com. You can also stop at the shelter located at 801 Van Camp Road, Bowling Green, Ohio. Adoption hours at the shelter are Wednesday and Thursday from 12 to 7p.m. and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12 to 4p.m.
The WCHS, located in Bowling Green, Ohio, is a private, non-profit managed admission shelter providing care for homeless and abused pets and investigating cruelty complaints in Wood County. The organization receives no funding from government organizations, The United Way, or national humane organizations, instead relying on earned revenue and the generosity of individual donors and businesses to fund our programs such as Safe Haven and food assistance programs, spay/neuter transport, and educational presentations. The WCHS provides care for hundreds of animals each year—from dogs and cats, to horses, goats, and pocket pets. All animals admitted into our adoption program are housed and cared for as long as it takes to find their fur-ever home. For more information on adopting and/or volunteering, see:
