Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello. My name is Anna. I'm about 1 year old and I weigh about 20 lbs currently, but should be more like 40-45 lbs.
I was found in the woods in a rural area by someone and I was brought in to the pound.
When I first came in I was urine stained, smelled terrible, was very dehydrated and I was so debilitated that I couldn't even eat. Once I got some water in my, I slowly began getting my appetite back. Since I have been at the pound, I have already started putting on weight and getting back my personality. Best guess is that whoever "owned" me before, kept me in a crate in my own urine and feces, deprived me of necessary sustenance, then took me out somewhere in the country and dumped me off to finish dying. What they didn't realize is that I am a fighter and I am a survivor. Not only am I living and doing very well, I will now have the opportunity to get to live life as a dog should. I will get to have a very loving family and a home of my own.
I am a very sweet and loving dog. I am currently having the time of my life, which is super sad considering I am currently at a dog pound...
Anyhow, I would LOVE to find a new family of my own soon.
I love people! I mean, they're just the bee's knees.
I am generally okay with other dogs. Maybe I wasn't socialized too well with other dogs because I don't necessarily know how I should act around other dogs. I am very curious about other dogs, but I don't like it when they get in my face and I really don't like it when they jump on me.
The pound is doing their best to get me more social and friendly with other dogs.
I will need a patient, loving family with the time to train me.
If you're looking for a sweet 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.
