About the Medina County SPCA

The mission of the Medina County SPCA is to protect and care for animals in our community from abuse, cruelty, neglect, injury and abandonment.  Acting as an independent non-profit 501(c)3 with no ties to any national organization or rescues, we employ the only Humane Officer and Emergency Rescue Technicians who respond to calls about animals in need.

When these specific cases are reported an investigation is initiated resulting in one of the following outcomes: 

• Education through our Humane Education Program
• Removal of animals from premises
• Prosecution as per Ohio’s animal cruelty laws.

In addition to our Humane Officer being a law enforcement official, our agency has prosecutorial powers.  Since the inception of the Medina County SPCA, there have been several successfully prosecuted cases of animal abuse and neglect in the community.

Animals in need are brought into our four stage system that provides medical care, rehabilitation, fostering and adoption.  When possible, the animals are placed in a foster home during recuperation.  Once they are well, they are made available for adoption in qualified homes.

There is always a need for foster homes for cats, dogs, small mammals, reptiles, horses and farm animals.  That’s why our work would not be possible without the generosity of individuals who open their homes to the animals that need help.

With your help, our future will be clear.  Our hope is to expand our services well beyond the confines of Medina County and build a state-of-the art facility on land donated by the county.  More information will be coming regarding this exciting opportunity.
