About this shelter

Humane Society of Allen County in Lima, OH

The Humane Society of Allen County serves Lima, Ohio, in Allen County, where two other animal shelters or rescues also operate. It has been rescuing, rehoming, and rehabilitating animals since 1983, and its Lima shelter can house up to 300 cats and 80 dogs at any given time. Beyond adoptions, the organization runs cruelty investigations, an equine rescue program, and humane education efforts, and it is not affiliated with the ASPCA or any other "SPCA" organization. Located about 50 miles northwest of Fort Wayne, Indiana, it relies on donations to continue its work caring for animals in need.
