Van Wert County Humane Shelter
Our Mission
The Van Wert County Humane Society is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming the cats and dogs of our community. We provide the care and compassion every animal deserves while advocating for responsible ownership to ensure a brighter future for pets and people alike.
Our Story
Established in 2014, our organization was formed by a passionate group of individuals working alongside the Van Wert County Sheriff's Department and County Commissioners. Our goal was simple but vital: to improve the conditions and treatment of animals within our shelter. Since that time, we have proudly helped thousands of animals find their way to loving, forever homes.
How We Help
We operate a dedicated shelter facility at 550 Fox Road in Van Wert, where our team and volunteers provide daily care for our residents. Every animal in our care is spayed or neutered before adoption, ensuring we contribute to a healthier, more controlled pet population. We believe in transparency and integrity, partnering with local experts to give our animals the best possible start in life.
The Joy of Adoption
Adoption is a beautiful partnership that transforms lives, both yours and your new companion's. We take pride in helping you find the perfect match for your lifestyle, ensuring that every cat and dog is placed in a home where they will be cherished. By adopting, you aren't just getting a pet—you are becoming a part of our vision to eliminate animal homelessness through compassion and responsible care.
