Here's what the humans have to say about me:
✨ Introducing Barbosa, CEO of Zoomies ✨ Barbosa is a 14-week-old professional goofball with a PhD in Playtime and a minor in Mischief. He’s fully up to date on his core vaccines, already neutered, and takes his job as a happy, wiggly puppy very seriously. When he’s not sprinting around like his tail is powered by rockets, he’s busy pouncing on toys, investigating everything, and charming every human in a five-mile radius.
Barbosa runs on snacks, naps, and chaos—in that exact order. He’s curious, playful, and believes that every day is the best day ever. If you’re looking for a puppy who brings nonstop joy, laughter, and the occasional “what is in your mouth?” moment, Barbosa is your guy. 🐶💥
📞 Want to learn more about Barbosa? If you’d like any additional information, please come into the shelter or call 740-314-5583 Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!

More about this shelter
We are the Jefferson County Humane Society and , except for our humane officers (who are paid very nominally), we are all volunteers! Our members were instrumental in getting a local levy passed to build a new and larger shelter and the doors opened in 2011. We are currently participating in Iams Home for the Holidays Program and the Purina Pets for People grant program. We are actively pursuing other grants and recently have been asked by the county to partner with them in the operation of the new shelter. Since we are a humane society, our main focus is on getting animals spayed and neutered so there are no more homeless pets. To that end, we bring in a mobile animal surgical clinic who performs spays and neuters at a reduced rate. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in our efforts and, of course, for financial contributions (we are a non-profit, 501 (c)3) and pet adopters! Other items such as food, treats, pet carriers, cages, leashes, collars, food bowls, etc. are also ALWAYS welcomed and appreciated. Please contact us if you have an item to be donated or would like to volunteer with us to try to save some of these homeless, but very loveable, dogs!
