Who We Are

LHS was founded in a small home in Perry Township, Ohio in November of 1937 by a group of determined animal lovers who wanted to see a higher standard of care for companion animals in Lake County, Ohio.

Here at Lake Humane Society, we strive to protect animals and build connections between pets and people through advocacy and education. Our small, yet mighty team works alongside our devoted volunteers in order to provide love and care to 1,200 pets annually.

We have been dedicated to the protection and care of homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals since 1937.
