About Us

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.

About Our Funding

Lake Humane Society runs solely on donations to provide care to pets in need and offer various programs and services to the community. We do not receive any government funding whatsoever, nor are we funded or operated by any national humane organizations.

Our mission is made possible by supporters like you and we cannot continue our lifesaving work without your loyal support and compassion.

“I love going here but it makes me sad because I want to take all the cats home. They seem to have so many cats to choose from. I even saw what looked to be like a pure-bred Persian cat. You can adopt a cat, dog, or rabbit for a small fee. Each animal comes with all the necessary shots and is neutered or spayed. If you are looking for a new family pet, check this place out first.”

“October 8, 2023 when we adopted our baby Reese from you guys. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog that fits in with us so well”

“I could not thank the staff at Humane Society enough. They were so caring and so nice and clearly have a genuine concern for who adopts these babies.”

“Just adopted Grug from you on November 2nd, 2024. He is spoiled rotten and living the best life. We love him so very much.”
