My story

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

Hi there. My name is Star. I'm 2 years old and I weigh 49.5 lbs.
**URGENT** I need to find a new home soon! I am not doing well here at the shelter!
I was taken in by the pound after they'd received a call about some abandoned dogs.
When the pound went out on the complaint, it was extremely hot. None of us dogs had any water and I was suffering from heat exhaustion and had to be carried to the van. Once all of us dogs were loaded, the girl from the pound drove us and got a bag of ice and put some in our crates. I was still pretty hot when I got here to the pound, but after a little while I cooled off and now I'm just fine. Aside from missing hair due to a flea allergy (we were all polluted with fleas) I appear to be in good shape!
I am a very sweet, loving and happy girl. You'd never know that I have lived a life of neglect.
I LOVE people and I get along well with all of the other dogs that I have been around here.
I used to live my life on a chain, but all of that has changed for me now and I could't be happier... or maybe I could in my very own family!
I have a lot of energy, so I would benefit from a family that can give me plenty of exercise.
I will likely need some training and guidance as I transition to life as a house dog.
If you're looking for a great dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me.

Our adoption fee is $120.00. The adoption fee must be paid in CASH. We are unable to accept personal checks or credit/debit cards for adoption fees. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt.

IF the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care.
We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter.

Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. The adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him!

Shelter hours are: Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm
Saturday: 9 am- 12 pm.
The pound is CLOSED to the public on Sunday.
There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend.

Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
