About
The Humane Society of Muskingum County, Ohio was established in 1908 for the purpose of preventing cruelty to children, to the elderly, to the destitute, and to the animals of Muskingum County. Many government agencies now have jurisdiction over the human elements, but the Humane Society continues to help prevent abuse and cruelty to animals. There are times, however, that the Humane Officer does become involved with human cases.
