SWCHS is not equipped to accept or lend assistance to wildlife.
Stray Policy
Stray animals are accepted from contracted municipalities only. Our service area covers partial southeastern regions of Wood County based on township service agreements. Animals that arrive to SWCHS as strays are not available for between 4-7 days in order to give owners time to locate and reclaim their lost pet.
Reclaim Fee
A reclaim fee is charged to help alleviate the cost of care that SWCHS incurs while an animal resides at our facility. Owners will need to show proof of pet ownership and pay any fees associated with reclaiming their lost pet.
