Shelter FAQs

The Highland Humane Society is located 2 1/2 miles east of Hillsboro, OH on St. Rt. 124. We are a non-profit shelter which provides a safe haven for dogs and cats while they transition from their past lives to their future, forever homes. We are a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization first organized in 1969 and guided by a dedicated board.
The Highland Humane Society serves the communities of Highland County, Ohio. Adoptions are open to residents of surrounding counties as well.

Adoption steps

  1. Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
    1. We do allow walk ins to meet animals they may want to adopt. We do not allow people to walk through the kennels we bring the animal to you.
  2. Submit Application
    1. Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.
  3. Take the Pet Home
    1. You can usually take a pet home same day on foster or adoption. Foster is for a week for compatibility. Not all animals qualify for foster

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use. If an animal is not spayed or neutered yet we will schedule it with one of our vets or you may schedule it at your own vet and receive a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $60 for cats. All animals are microchipped except barn cats.
