Humane Society of Greater Akron / Summit County Humane Society

The Humane Society of Greater Akron is a great place to adopt from and support. You can tell that everyone there really cares about the animals. The shelter they are currently in needs a lot of work and they have space restrictions, so please support them so they can continue their mission.

Pros: Caring staff, knowledgeable.

Cons: Shelter space needs renovation.

I was calling all over the area to locate (hopefully) my dog which had broke loose from his chain. He is a large 120 pound dog and so I was worried someone would hurt him just being afraid of his size. I was told buy the local dog pund that there is little luck for me due to the fact that dogs that size usually have unhappy endings when lost. Once I got in touch with a live person at the Humane shelter they were as concerned as I was and with the help of their staff, they were able to check the latest pick ups and call me right back. I was told of a fee they were goign to have to charge me and I ran out to pick him up. When I saw him, he was in great condition as they treated him with minor vet service for cuts and scratches from an apparent fight, and gave him a shot. I paid a very small fee, (less than $50) and they were very kind to me by complementing my care of him. I am very glad they are the ones to have him.

Pros: They contacted me quickly about my runaway pooch.

Cons: None
