Mission: Planned pethood was incorporated in 1979 for the purpose of reducing the overpopulation and suffering of dogs and cats in the community through education and low-cost spay and neuter programs. Planned pethood is repsonsible for spaying and neutering thousands of cats and dogs in northwestern ohio thus eliminating future litters for those cats and dogs and off of their offspring.
Programs: Cat and dog rescue, veterinary and placement programs: planned pethood's volunteers rescue abused and/or unwanted cats and dogs, spay and neuter these animals and subsequently put them up for adoption. Approximately 1,200 animals are placed into homes each year.
educational programs: for over 30 years, planned pethood has promoted responsible pet ownership and reduction of unwanted litters of dogs and cats. Educating the community is critical to the mission. The educational outreach efforts are customized to fit a variety of audiences.
