The Clark County SPCA formed in November of 2016 to fill the gap in the needed services available to the citizens of Clark County, Ohio. The county was without a trained Humane Agent to investigate animal abuse and neglect. Educational services were no longer being provided in school systems or area businesses for dog safety or responsible dog ownership. We formed this organization to fill these gaps in service to our public and to help with placement of some of the homeless animals within our community as well as to contribute to reducing the number of unwanted pets by sterilization and adoption. We are a 501(c)3, non-profit organization.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
