Giving homeless pets a second chance since 1959.

We are your local 501(c)3, non-profit, adoptable, no-kill animal shelter serving Zanesville and Muskingum County, Ohio. As a non-profit, we rely on the support of our generous community to save the hundreds of animals that come into our care each year.

Our PAW-sitive Partner - Muskingum Iron & Metal Recycling Center will again this year be matching the aluminum can donations during Earth Week. Remember to drop off your aluminum cans to our bin during the week of April 21, 2025 through Saturday, April 26, 2025. These donations help us with our day to day operation expenses for our 100% non-profit organization.

Thank you!

Thank you to The J.W. & M. H. Straker Charitable Foundation and Precision Roofing & Seamless Gutters for supporting such an important project for the Shelter. If it wasn’t for your donations and believing in our mission, the dog kennel gates would not have been made possible.

Adopting is one of the best things you can do.

At The Animal Shelter Society, Inc. we firmly believe in the statement #AdoptDontShop. By adopting you’re not just giving a homeless animal a chance at a better life, you’ll be amazed at how much better your life becomes by the love your new pet gives you.
