What is the Capital Area
Humane Society and what do you do?
 he
Capital Area Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization,
serving people and their pets. The Humane Society shelters thousands
of animals each year, responds to reports of cruelty, places
adoptable animals in loving homes, provides animal-assisted therapy
to children and seniors at area hospitals and retirement homes,
teaches basic obedience skills through dog and puppy training
classes and through spay and neuter efforts, prevents the unwanted
birth of companion animals. The Capital Area Humane Society has an
on-site medical staff and veterinary clinic which provide care for
both animals at the shelter and in our foster care program. All
adopted animals receive basic vaccinations, rabies inoculation,
testing for contagious diseases and all are spayed or neutered.

What
is the difference between the Capital Area Humane Society and animal
control?
he
Capital Area Humane Society is a private, nonprofit organization.
Your local animal control
organization is a
government agency. If you live in Franklin County, please call the
Franklin County Department of Animal Care and Control for questions
related to stray dogs. Like the Humane Society, the Franklin
County Dog Shelter has animals available for adoption and offers
other services.

Is
the Capital Area Humane Society a "no-kill" shelter?
 e are an
open-admission shelter. That means we accept every dog, cat and
small animal that is brought to us by his or her owner. We make
every effort to place animals into loving and permanent homes.
We do not place
time limits on animals available for adoption as long as they remain
healthy and well adjusted.
The most difficult task that our staff has at the Humane Society
is to put animals
to sleep. If an animal is admitted to us and due to medical or
behavioral problems is unsafe for adoption, we humanely euthanize
the animals. We never turn an animal in need away.
It is important to understand that there is a serious pet overpopulation
problem in this country. That is why it is so important that pet
owners spay or neuter their pets; there are simply not enough homes
for all of the pets that are born.
