"Never, never be afraid to do what's right especially if the well being of a
person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to
the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way."

Message from the Director of the Ohio SPCA: 

As many of you know, the story of the mass burial sites at the Morgan County Dog Pound in Malta, Ohio has been broadcast by media beginning on Sunday, March 30, 2008. There is nothing sensational about this story. It is shameful and sad. For those of us involved with the work of the Ohio SPCA, it is our hope that such publicity will bring public awareness and action.

The killing of homeless dogs and cats is a nationwide problem and each one of us should do what we can to end this needless lost of life. The solution is so simple: Spay and neuter and keep your companion animals safe at home for their entire lifetime.

The Oho SPCA is aware that there are many problems within Ohio counties. Many county dog shelters are substandard and not proactive in saving the lives of stray and unwanted dogs. Additionally, animal cruelty is ignored by county officials in numerous counties. Ohio residents must speak out concerning these problems. Otherwise, Ohio will never become a safe and humane state for animals.

We must be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Executive Director

The Ohio SPCA Needs Your Help! 
Emergency Funds Needed Now

Unfortunately, donations have not kept pace with our veterinary expenses and farm shelter needs. Our funds have been depleted and we owe thousands in veterinary care.

During the past several months, 26 new animals have joined our farm sanctuary family. Many of the animals will be adopted into loving, caring homes, but just as many have special needs and will live out their lives with us. Currently, we are sheltering, feeding, and vetting numerous animals while animal cruelty cases meander through the court system. Medical care and feed requirements are very costly. Please consider making a donation to help care for the 85 animals living on our farm sanctuary. All donations are tax-deductible.

Progress

Recent contributions have helped the Ohio SPCA move forward. Additional horse pastures have been built along with a new horse run-in shelter; our first dog cottage (multi-dog kennel) has been built and paid for (soon to be delivered) that will provide dogs with a clean, safe, comfortable place to live;  wholesome food and veterinary care have been provided routinely and for emergencies; and over a 1,000 bales of hay were purchased and delivered.
 
Additional Needs

In addition to monetary donations, our needs are still many. Repairs are needed to the current barn (which is at full capacity) until two new barns can be built. We are in desperate need of a used pick-up truck, used stock trailer, and ATV. If you can help, please contact us.

The Ohio SPCA must have the support of a caring public if we are to continue to feed and house animals in our care and abused and neglected animals in the future.
