ADOPTING
Athens County Humane Society has wonderful pets available: local animals that need homes, and have received veterinary care. Working with the county shelter, with veterinarians, and with our terrific foster volunteers, we place healthy animals in happy homes.

Fostering a pet is a great way to help!
We're looking for foster homes to provide a temporary place for animals before adoption. We don't have a large enough facility to house every animal-in-waiting, and it's best for them to have a caring environment.
Fostering is an important volunteer service that directly helps animals in need. It may be for a few days or for a month—each situation is unique. Please consider volunteering to help animals in this way and fill out our foster application.
