The Humane Society of Summit County is the only local, non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to serving animals that are victims of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, as well as sick and injured strays. There is no time limit imposed on animals in its care; as long as an animal is medically and behaviorally healthy, it remains with the organization as long as it takes to be adopted. The organization also runs a mobile veterinary clinic called MABEL and a mobile adoption center, and it offers fostering and adoption programs for dogs, cats, and small animals. It is not a chapter of, affiliated with, or governed by national charities such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA, and it operates independently of Summit County Animal Control.

The shop sits on Merriman Rd in Akron, about 0.1 miles from Merriman Road and the Merriman Valley neighborhood, and about 0.1 miles from Cedarwood Village. Karona Park is roughly 0.2 miles away, as are Weathervane Playhouse and Akron Artworks.
