My story

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

Rizzo is a little over a year old and is one of the most friendly cats you’ll ever meet! She adores human attention and loves to be the center of it. With her stunning tabby coat and pretty eyes, she’s as beautiful as she is sweet. Rizzo thrives in a home where she can be the only pet, as she prefers all the love and affection to herself. If you’re looking for a loyal, people-loving companion, Rizzo is your girl!
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!
