Wood County Humane Society - Senior Companions Program

Goals of the Wood County Humane Society: provide a clean, healthy shelter environment for animals that have been abandoned or removed from abusive situations; educate the citizens of Wood County in the principles and the practices of humane animal treatment; investigate and resolve reports of animal cruelty and abuse; find loving and healthy homes for the animals.

Adoption services include: physical exam from one of select vets in Wood county; all animals must be spayed or neutered before adoption can occur; first year's vaccines; rabies shot; feline leukemia test for cats; FIV test for cats; heart worm test/prevention for dogs; collar and ID tag; carrier for cats or leash for dogs. Animals adopted at WCHS must leave in a carrier or on a leash.
