Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello. My name is Coco Chanel. I'm 1 year old and I weigh about 40 lbs.
The pound came out to the place we used to live at because they received a complaint about my best friend Bandit and I being neglected.
We were kept together in a very small crate. We didn't have room to turn around, lay down without laying on each other or anything else. We were kept in that cage all the time. We peed and pooped in there because we weren't taken outside, then we had to lay in our own mess because it didn't get cleaned up. Our owner signed us over to the pound so we can get vetted and be adopted.
After our previous life, it's safe to say the pound is basically the doggy version of the Hilton. We have a nice, warm bed to sleep on at night, fresh water available all the time and we get fed 2 times a day.
I am very undersocialized. I am very curious but quite frightened by new people. I will often follow you all around and even touch you with my nose, but if you try to pet me I jump back.
It definitely takes me some time to get to know you, but once I watm up to you, I am actually quite sweet and very playful.
The pound is doing their best to get me socialized better. I have alread made major improvements in that department though. When I first arrived, I just laid in the corner trembing with my tail tucked between my legs. Now I wag my tail a lot and I am even getting used to walking on a leash.
I will require a patient, understanding family that will have time to work with me on my housebreaking and training.
I get along well with other dogs, so a family with another dog would be awesome for me.
If I sound like I might be a good fit for 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.
