Church of St. Andrew Pet Food Drive!

Many thanks to the Church of St. Andrew for collecting 500 pounds of pet food at a time when the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank shelves are dangerously low, and thank you to Pastor Rod Pierce and his youth group who delivered it all to Humane Ohio and unloaded it! The 200+ households and 900+ pets that we serve each month thank you too!

Stop by the Church of St. Andrew with your pet on September 12th between 12 pm and 4 pm for their "Pets in Poverty" event. Don't forget to bring a bag or cans of pet food for the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank which is giving out over 7,000 pounds of food a month!

Oatis is Back Home!

Recently, one of our employees was leaving work when a dog wearing no ID tags wandered over to her car. We took the dog in for the night; the next day, we took him to the veterinarian down the street and had him scanned for a microchip but he didn't have one. We checked the lost and found pet section on K100's Web site and found a description that fit the lost dog! Turns out Oatis had been fixed at Humane Ohio the year before, and we were happy to reunite him with his parent thanks to the help of our good friends at K100!

Businesses Who Rock!

Local businesses like Meijer and Two Men & A Truck help make Humane Ohio's work possible!

Meijer on Alexis just donated a $75 gift card (in addition to the $100 gift card they gave us earlier this year!).

Two Men & A Truck recently provided a couple of their men to help Humane Ohio with a manual labor project at no cost to our organization! This is the second time they've helped us already this year; the first time was a donation of trucks and labor valued at $1,500!

Please remember these businesses when you have needs they can meet, and thank them for supporting Humane Ohio!
