The Toledo Humane Society is committed to preventing animal cruelty and neglect in our community. There is no excuse for animal abuse.
We employ two full-time cruelty investigators to enforce animal cruelty laws in Lucas County. We investigate almost 2,000 complaints a year.
The Toledo Humane Society asks anyone who witnesses animal cruelty, who knows of a sick or injured animal, or who knows of animals without adequate food, water, or shelter, to get help fast by reporting it. All reports are kept confidential and are responded to in the order they are received.
