CHANGE TO STRAY ANIMAL CONTRACT - TRENTON:
On March 4th, 2024, we were notified by the City of Trenton that they are terminating their contract with Animal Friends Humane Society effective immediately.
As a result of Trenton's decision, stray animals from Trenton will no longer be accepted by AFHS, however we will continue to accept animals that are deceased or surrendered to us for adoption or euthanasia; all of which require a fee to be paid at the time of drop-off. We still encouraged to owners looking for their lost pets to come look for your lost pet at our facility in case it has crossed city limits.
If any Trenton residents have an issue involving a stray animal, they are to call the Trenton Police Department.
Trenton Police Department
11 E State St., Trenton, OH 45067
513-988-6341
We appreciate everyone’s understanding in this change moving forward.

Check the dog for identification: If the dog is wearing a Butler County dog license, you can search for owner information on the Butler County Auditor’s website here. If the dog is wearing a silver Animal Friends tag, please call us at (513) 867-5727 ext. 0 for owner information. If the dog is wearing a Rabies or Microchip tag, then call the clinic/company information that is listed on the tag.

Have the dog scanned to check for a microchip: You can bring the dog to our facility during operating hours to be scanned to see if it is microchipped. You can also visit a local vet clinic to have them scan the animal.

Dogs found in Butler County can be brought to our shelter for safekeeping. Please bring a photo ID with you. If you are unable to transport the dog yourself, you can call dispatch (see contact numbers below) to have an officer come out and pick the dog up from you. They will bring the dog to our facility for safekeeping.
Per Ohio Law and Rules, dogs that are NOT wearing a current county license are only required to be held for 3 days, while dogs that are wearing a current county license are required to be held 14 days. After the required holding period, dogs can then be placed up for adoption, transferred out to another shelter/rescue group, or humanely euthanized if they are found to be medically or behaviorally not suitable for adoption.
