Lake Humane Society provides protection to the animals of Lake County through our Humane Investigations Department. The Lake Humane Society Agent, who is appointed by the Lake County Probate Court, works together with local law enforcement to fight animal cruelty and neglect across all of Lake County. In the state of Ohio, a Humane Agent is empowered to enforce state laws regarding animal cruelty. Please note that the Lake Humane Society Agent only has jurisdiction in Lake County, Ohio. Like all programs and services offered by our organization, our Humane Investigations Department runs solely on donations as we receive no outside funding for this department. This means that all expenses related to this department, from equipment to attorney fees to staff wages, are dependent on donations.

Help us reach our $50,000 goal!
The Cruelty Prevention Project was launched to raise critical funds for Lake Humane Society’s Humane Investigations Department, including an efficient vehicle, additional equipment and training. Our full-time Humane Agent is on the road 5 days a week, regardless of the weather, protecting and advocating for pets in Lake County.
Our Humane Investigations Department has been getting by with the same vehicle, a large 2008 panel van, and equipment for over 13 years. It is necessary to purchase an efficient vehicle for day-to-day operations. Please give today to ensure our Humane Agent has the equipment and training to protect animals for years to come!
