Welcome to the Ohio Animal Welfare Federation

The Ohio Animal Welfare Federation (Ohio Fed) is a 501(c)3 non-profit membership organization for humane societies, dog wardens, animal control officers, and non-profit animal welfare organizations across Ohio. 

MISSION

To promote the well-being and humane treatment of domestic animals throughout Ohio through education, advocacy, and professional resources for animal welfare professionals, elected officials and law enforcement.  

VISION

We envision a future where all animal welfare professionals, elected officials and law enforcement from across Ohio have the resources, education and support they need to ensure the well-being and humane treatment of domestic animals in their communities. 

Please note we are a 501c3 membership organization. We are not a law enforcement agency, and we do not govern or oversee the work of other animal welfare agencies. If you suspect animal abuse or neglect, please call your county humane society or local law enforcement to file a report.
