Columbiana County Humane Society

Foster Application

Columbiana County Humane Society takes in abused, neglected, and abandoned animals; as well as those that are sometimes ordered removed by the courts. We make every attempt to screen our animals for health, behavior, and temperament issues. Certain types of problems may not demonstrate themselves until the animal is in a home environment.

For these reasons we cannot guarantee the behavior, health or temperament of any animal.
