Stark County Humane Society is a leading non-profit organization that is dedicated to advocating for the welfare of animals in our community. With the firm belief that we must speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, our team of dedicated volunteers, members, and employees work tirelessly to ensure that every animal receives the care and compassion they deserve. As a private and charitable organization, Stark County Humane Society relies on the support of the community to continue its vital work.

We do not receive funding from the United Way or any county agency. Instead, our continued existence and success are made possible through membership fees, generous gifts, and contributions from compassionate individuals like you. Our shelter, open every day except Wednesdays and holidays, provides a safe haven for countless animals in need.

In 2022 alone, we welcomed approximately 11,448 visitors to our facility. Beyond sheltering, we pride ourselves on our educational and pet therapy programs that have positively impacted the lives of both animals and people in our community. At Stark County Humane Society, we strive to be there for every animal, especially those who are sick, injured, or victims of cruelty.

Our dedicated team is available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide essential veterinary care and emergency support. Join us in our mission to create a kinder and more compassionate world for animals in Stark County. Together, we can make a difference
