My story

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

RESCUED! WENT TO A CARING RESCUE GROUP!
*CORTEZ*
#140-16
Male Elke Hound / Akita Mix Breed
Date in: 4/12/16
**Already Neutered**

Cortez is an adorable little bundle of joy and energy! He is not enjoying the tiny confines of his kennel and is not afraid to tell you about it, but we don't blame him!
Shortly after his arrival, we noticed that his eyes appeared slightly cloudy and it was determined that he is losing his eyesight. For this reason, he has been labeled "Rescue Only." If you are reputable, established rescue and are interested in giving Cortez a better life, please let us know!

Available for rescue at:
Muskingum County Dog Warden & Adoption Center
1500 Newark RD Zanesville, Ohio 43701
740-453-0273

Please call ahead if you plan to visit.
Open M-F 11-5 and Saturday 11-1.

Adoption fee is $105 which includes spay/neuter, combo and rabies shots, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm test and dog tags.(Although some of the dogs come to the pound spayed or neutered, most do not. If you adopt a dog that has not yet been spayed/neutered, the pound will set up an appointment for it to be spayed/neutered before it can leave the pound.)
