Logan County Humane Society is a 501C3, non-profit, and limited admission animal shelter. Our mission is to find loving forever homes for the animals that pass through our facility. We use a highly successful adoption process that includes a home check and spay and neuter requirements to accomplish this.
Each year, millions of cats, dogs, and other animals will enter shelters and rescue groups nationwide through no fault of their own. Owners cite “moving” as the number one reason for not being able to keep a pet. This means that shelters are filled with healthy and loving dogs and cats waiting for a family.
Mission and Vision
Our mission is to protect and prevent animal cruelty through education, advocacy, direct care, emergency response services, and animal control services and find loving forever homes for the animals that pass through our facility.
Adoption Policy
Adoption Process
01. Come in and Meet Available Pets
We encourage you to meet the pets you are interested in and get a chance to bond. Often, pet parents will have a preference for breed, size, or sex of a dog or cat but find that those elements are not always important when they find “the one” that was meant for their family.
02. Fill Out an Application
Next, fill out an application that is available in person or online. Once you have filled out an application it will take us a few days to process the information and you will be contacted if your application has been approved.
03. In-Person or Virtual Home Visit
If you live in Sterling City limits, we conduct an in-person home visit. If you live outside the city limits pictures of the home and living area will be required. We will want to see where the animal will be sleeping and staying, the kennel, the outside area and fence, which is a requirement, and where the animal will be eating.
04. Opportunity to Amend
We want both you and your pet to be happy and safe! If there are any problems, you’ll be allowed the opportunity to amend or fix those issues.
05. Vet Visit
LCHS will Schedule an appointment with our vet, which is fully covered in the adoption fee. During the vet appointment, the animal will receive a Microchip, get spayed or neutered and get up-to-date on all shots, including Parvo, Distemper, and Bordetella.
06. Gotcha Day!
Once approved, we will set up a day for you to pick up your new family member. While you cannot pick up an animal the same day as your initial visit, LCHS Gotcha Days are some of the most heartwarming and exciting days you can experience and well worth the wait. Be sure to have that video rolling for the special day!

Get your dog the safe enrichment they need by renting a Sniffspot

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
