The name's Hooch, and yes I am as adorable in person as I am in this photo! If you look into my eyes, you can see that I haven't always had the easiest life; truth is, I actually grew up on the streets of Zanesville, Ohio. I never knew where I was going to sleep at night, and I wasn't even sure if I would be able to eat every day. So yeah, life at the Muskingum County Dog Warden & Adoption Center isn't great, but it's a roof over my head and one square meal a day (that kind of just made it sound like prison, didn't it?) Anyway, I don't blame my owner for being down on his luck, in fact I'm grateful! We had some grand adventures, but he knew that a life on the street wasn't what was best for me. It's a little hard adjusting to kennel life when I've been used to roaming free all my life, but hopefully I won't have to be here too long. If you can find a place for me in your heart and in your home, then don't wait too long....a life in the "Pound" is no life either :(

Available for adoption 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, we will set up an appointment for the dog to be spayed/neutered before it can leave the facility.)
