Rescue Village

Founded in 1974, the Geauga County Humane Society, Inc., also known as Rescue Village, is where thousands of homeless animals find a warm, dry place to stay each year, while they await their adoption. Animals are provided regular meals, enrichment, and medical care in a state-of-the-art clinic. Rescue Village has room for cats, dogs, small animals, and billie's barn for domesticated barn animals. Rescue Village also investigates neglect, abuse, or cruelty complaints, while enforcing Ohio's animal anti-cruelty laws. Rescue Village organizes woofstock, northeast Ohio's largest dog festival. The 19,000-square-foot facility and 5,000-square-foot barn are located on 14 acres of land in a park-like setting between cleveland's eastern suburbs and Geauga County's rural farming communities.
