Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.

Lawrence County Humane Society Ohio
The Lawrence County Humane Society of Ohio is a nonprofit organization that aids in animal rescue and spaying/neutering. We are currently expanded our horizons and looking for helpful volunteers of all ages that care for animals and their safety. We exist to promote animal health and rescue. If interested in learning more about us and our cause, we meet the last Monday of every month at 5:30pm at the Lawrence County Museum, 506 S 6th St, Ironton, OH 45638 (on the corner of 6th and Adams Street). Please join the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. We do not operate the Lawrence County Animal Shelter/Dog Pound.

Find the right dog for you
When looking for that new family member please remember to really think about the things you and your family want and need
in a pet that fits the family lifestyle. Get to know your breeds! Some breeds require more space, exercise and circumstances
than others. Even if you are going to adopt a mixed breed, look into what it's primary breed needs in a home,
environment and exercise. Your new family member needs to be wanted by everyone in the family and included
in your daily lives to be truly happy.
