Throughout its history, the Venango County Humane Society has done much more than just operate an animal shelter. We have developed several programs of which we are very proud. First and most important is the Spay/Neuter program.

Knowing that pet population control is the key to controlling the problem of unwanted and stray animals, the Humane Society created a spay and neuter program in 1984. The program provided financial assistance for the spay or neutering of any dog or cat adopted from the shelter. The Venango County Humane Society was a national leader in this movement. In the early 1990’s, the spay and neuter fund began to cover the entire cost of spaying or neutering adopted animals. The total cost of this program is funded by a bi-weekly Bingo.

Today, EVERY animal adopted from the Venango County Humane Society is spayed/neutered to promote pet population management.

Every TUESDAY and SATURDAY night we host BINGO to support the Spay/Neuter Program of our shelter animals. It is held at the Lee Bessler Hall in Seneca, PA and open to the public. Doors open at 5 PM and bingo begins at 7 PM. The bingo fundraising has been conducted since 1993 by two of our dedicated board members.
