My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Guppy is a very active and playful girl, but can be rather jumpy and mouthy. She needs an active home that can provide the management and training she needs. She is a little scared of other dogs and will do best with calm dogs. She needs to meet any dogs that you might have to make sure they get along. She is a potential food guarder, so she needs to go to a home with kids 10 and older.

Guppy is currently in our prison dog training program where she is receiving one-on-one training by an inmate that has been taught positive reinforcement dog training. Guppy is learning Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Heel, Polite Greetings, Housetraining, and some tricks. She is due to return to our shelter on Friday March 7th. Anyone interested in adopting Guppy should fill out an adoption application to reserve their space in line to adopt her. Adopters will receive an Adopter Guide outlining the training the dog has received and how to continue working with the dog. Here is your chance to adopt a well-trained dog from a shelter!

All dogs that haven't been previously fixed will be spayed or neutered before going home. Dogs receive rabies, initial DHLPP & bordetella vaccinations, are tested for heartworm, and wormed. They have been temperament tested and also microchipped. Adoption fee is $100, plus adopters must purchase a Lucas County dog license for $25. We add new adoptable dogs on a regular basis, so stop by during regular hours and see who's there. Also be sure to like our facebook page! Lucas County Canine Care & Control. Thanks for considering a shelter dog!
