                        Stark County Humane Society

                        The Humane Society is a non-profit organization serving the human and animal population of Stark County for over 100 years. Besides providing a safe haven for the unwanted dogs and cats in our community, we find new and loving homes for them as well. We also conduct humane education programs in all our schools K-12. We take our pets to nursing homes in the area to visit the elderly. Sometimes this is the only time some of the residents get a visit.
