GENERAL QUESTIONS
Is Animal Charity Of Ohio a government agency?
No, We are a 501C3 Non profit agency that is not funded or controlled by any government agency or national organization.
How is Animal Charity of Ohio funded?
Our primary source of funding is through donations made by people who recognize the importance of the services we provide. Contributions from individuals, corporate support, and bequests help keep our doors open every day. Our non profit vet clinic does provide some financial support however we try to keep our prices as affordable as possible to help families afford to provide their animals with excellent medical care.
How will my donation be used?
Tax-deductible contributions to our agency help us pay for vaccines, medical supplies, and caretakers to take care of the animals on a daily basis. Your donation enables us to assist nearly 700 animals a year, to find homes for animals, to prosecute animal offenders, to provide affordable vet services, and to educate our community on the proper care of animals.
Is Animal Charity a ‘No-Kill’ shelter?
Animal Charity is an unlimited stay humane society that accepts animals-in-need, regardless of their health, temperament, age, or condition. Healthy, friendly animals and animals with illnesses and injuries who can be humanely treated will stay in our care for as long as it takes to find them a new home. We do not have prescribed time limits and we do not euthanize healthy, friendly animals, or animals who we can treat, to make space for new animals. However, animals suffering from illnesses or injuries that we can’t treat, some animals with infectious diseases, or animals who display aggressive behavior and are unsafe to rehome may be euthanized. We do not use the ‘no-kill’ terminology as we’ve found many people define it differently, to include never euthanizing any animal regardless of their suffering, health, or aggression.
Does Animal Charity work with local rescue groups?
Yes. We have established relationships with local breed placement and rescue organizations and are always interested in expanding our cooperative efforts in this area. Because we have a strong adoption program and clients interested in specific breeds, we do not routinely transfer healthy, friendly, purebred, adoptable animals, but deeply value partnership with foster-based groups who can assist with caring for and placing special-needs pets.
