My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tonka!
Tonka is a 3-year-old German Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is fully vetted, up to date on all core vaccines, neutered, and ready to find a forever family to call his own.

Tonka is the perfect mix of strength and gentleness. He’s a strong dog who enjoys playtime, but he’s also easygoing and loves to relax by your side. His favorite thing in the world is treats—he’ll happily sit pretty or show off his good manners for a tasty snack.

Not only is Tonka people-friendly, but he also does great with other dogs and even cats, making him a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. With his loyal German Shepherd spirit and loving personality, Tonka is sure to be a devoted companion who will bring joy and comfort to anyone lucky enough to adopt him.

If you’ve been searching for a faithful friend who is ready for adventures, cuddle time, and everything in between, Tonka just might be the perfect match. call today or stop by 740/314/5583

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!
