My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Butterscotch, our charming elder beagle with a heart of gold! Rescued in poor condition, he’s been on a journey to recovery after undergoing dental cleaning and extractions to brighten his smile. Now, this sweet boy is healing and trying to find his place in a loving home. Butterscotch is a gentle soul, eager to explore his new surroundings and soak up all the love he deserves. With his warm personality and adorable beagle charm, he’s ready to bring joy to anyone lucky enough to meet him!


Butterscotch is up to date on his core vaccines and monthly preventatives. He has been neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative while in our care. This old boy can not wait to have a couch to snuggle on and a family to retire with. If you are interested in making his wishes come true by bringing him home, you can stop by the shelter to say hello! You can also give us a call at 740-314-5583 for more information.

More about this shelter

We are the Jefferson County Humane Society and , except for our humane officers (who are paid very nominally), we are all volunteers! Our members were instrumental in getting a local levy passed to build a new and larger shelter and the doors opened in 2011. We are currently participating in Iams Home for the Holidays Program and the Purina Pets for People grant program. We are actively pursuing other grants and recently have been asked by the county to partner with them in the operation of the new shelter. Since we are a humane society, our main focus is on getting animals spayed and neutered so there are no more homeless pets. To that end, we bring in a mobile animal surgical clinic who performs spays and neuters at a reduced rate. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in our efforts and, of course, for financial contributions (we are a non-profit, 501 (c)3) and pet adopters! Other items such as food, treats, pet carriers, cages, leashes, collars, food bowls, etc. are also ALWAYS welcomed and appreciated. Please contact us if you have an item to be donated or would like to volunteer with us to try to save some of these homeless, but very loveable, dogs!
