Education and Community Programs

Education Programs

The Toledo Humane Society believes that respect for living things, including animals and people, begins with education. The THS Education Department offers a variety of single and multi-day programs designed to appeal to different age groups and interests. To accommodate the busy schedules of students, we offer educational opportunities after school and on Saturdays. Costs will vary from program to program.

Looking to bring your class, scouts, or child's birthday party to the Toledo Humane Society? Email Jackie Kinnee at JackieK@toledohumane.org today!

Community Programs

Our community and the animals that call Toledo home are our #1 priority. The Toledo Humane Society offers a variety of community programs both to offer assistance and resources as well as bring the people of Toledo together for our animals.
