At any given time, the Humane Society of Portage County is responsible for the health and well-being of over 200 companion animals. Through the financial support of our donors, we provide these animals with food, comfort and veterinary care. Our education and outreach programs reach young people in our community with information regarding bite prevention, pet care and the humane, compassionate treatment of animals. We offer volunteer opportunities to community members including dog and cat socialization, housekeeping, educational programming and fundraising.
