About Portage County Dog Warden Office and Shelter
The Portage County Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter is located in Ravenna, Ohio. The Dog Wardens Office handles everything from Rabies Quarantines, to livestock kill investigations, to enforcing licensing of dogs, and rescuing stray dogs for all of Portage County. We have close to 40-50 dogs in our kennel at any given time, of which most are waiting to find a new home.
The myth that the Portage Co. Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter euthanizes dogs after so many days is false. We only euthanize dogs for aggression, Vicious Dogs, and/or Illness, no time limit. Many dogs pass through our door on a yearly basis from owner surrenders to dogs found as strays, all looking for a good loving family to adopt them. Last year alone we had about 700 dogs come through our shelter.
All of the dogs that come through our shelter receive a heartworm test (if old enough), a distemper/parvo Vaccine (if old enough), Kennel cough vaccine, and a rabies vaccine (if old enough).
The Portage County Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter does not receive funding from the state or county (tax money). We survive solely on what is donated and funds from dog licenses.
If you are interested in a dog call us. We cannot provide transportation for the rescues or the citizens. We work with many rescues and other agencies to try placing as many dogs as we can into loving homes as well as provide a safe community for residents from stray or vicious dogs.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
