Your Kindness Can Live Forever!

The animals of the Stark County Humane Society will need your help during your lifetime and forever. If you wish to remember them in your will or through your life insurance policy, our proper name is “Stark County Humane Society.” In providing for the animals by making the shelter beneficiary, you can provide for the animals needs after you are gone. Animals are not lesser creatures then humans, they are just packaged differently!

Nursing Home Program

Recently, a current Board Member Linda Berg has volunteered to become the Volunteer Coordinator for the shelter. Linda is currently working on getting volunteers and sites together for this program. This program is where a shelter animal(s) will go into local nursing homes, adult day-cares, and workshops and visit with the seniors.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help man this program; if you would be interested in helping please call the shelter at 330-453-5529.
