Humane Society of Erie County Animal shelter in Sandusky, OH

It is our honor to befriend the dogs & cats who find their way through our doors, through no fault of their own. We love them as our we love our own pets and work to build trust and love where it was either non existent or demolished. We are VERY fussy about who is allowed to adopt our animals and do an extensive background check on everyone who completes an application. Our animals deserve that.

Shelter FAQs

Owner surrender dogs & cats come from ERIE COUNTY ONLY, however anyone, anywhere can adopt our animals after the Adoption Counselor approves an application. It's an easy process and we do not ever euthanize for length of time any animal has spent with us.

Additional adoption info

Dog prices vary- please contact the shelter with questions: (419)626-6220. All of our animals are spay/neutered, current on vaccinations, dewormed and on flea/heartworm prevention. If you are from Erie County, then there would be an additional cost for the dog tag. Cats range in price from $50 (ages 2 years and older), $75 (ages 7 months to 2 years), and $100 for kittens 6 months and younger. We do suggest you come in and meet the animals before picking your 'fur-ever' friend. An application is required once you have made your choice, and we ask 24-72 hours to process that application before arrangements are made to take your new pet home. A copy of that application can be downloaded from our website http://www.humanesocietyoferiecounty.org or you can pick one up in our lobby!
