My story

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

Meet Athena, a young, energetic hound mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. Her beautiful blue eyes reflect her friendly nature and her sweet disposition. She is just 8 months old and already shows a keen understanding of social cues with other dogs, making her a perfect companion for those with other canine friends. However, her vivacious hound instincts make her less compatible with feline companions. Athena's playful demeanor and energy make her an ideal pet for an active household. She's eager to find a forever home where she can share her joy and love. Adopt Athena and let her fill your life with laughter, play, and endless affection.

Athena is spayed and up to date on all of her core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. She is also microchipped! If you are interested in meeting this beauty, feel free to stop by or give us a call at 740-314-5583!

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!
