Help Us Make A Change
We outgrew our current facility within our first 3 months. We are collecting spare change from your car seats, couch... or wherever! Our change jar is located in the front of the facility and ready for you to help us earn the building of our dreams.
Our goal is to expand from our current 3000 SqFt facility to a minimum 10,000 SqFt!
This expansion will all us to QUADRUPLE our animal capacity. We also would like to include a low-cost spay/neuter clinic and add dogs to the list of animals we will be able to help. This is a HUGE goal but we have faith that it will happen!

Adoption Certificates
In this time of uncertainty for businesses there has been a lot of discussion about small businesses taking a big hit. There are a lot of companies who are offering gift cards to help boost the small businesses. Unfortunately that is not something we have, but we are offering Adoption certificates! We think that these are a great option as a gift if you know someone who would love to get a pet. The adoption certificate allows your gift to be something the person can pick out on their own and will cherish forever! If you would like to purchase a certificate you can email us at ohiopetsanctuary@gmail.com and we will arrange a way to get one for you. In this time where we are social distancing we are trying to assure that we all stay healthy and limit our interactions so email is the best form of contact for now. Thank you for your continued support!
Crittermobile
We have the Crittermobile running, now we need to get it set up on the inside to transport pets! As you may guess building custom cages can be quite the adventure so we are currently figuring it out now! We want our pets to be able to travel comfortably so we are hard at work to make that happen! Any donations that can be made help tremendously!
If you would like to join our team of volunteers, please stop in the facility any time we are open to pick up an application.
