Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! We're Humphrey (black&tan) and Loverboy (red). We're about 4-5 years old and we weigh about 7 lbs. We're quite a bit underweight. For our size, we should weigh at least 8-9 lbs.
We were brought to the pound by someone who claimed to have found us as strays, but we're very fearful and unsocialized so it is highly unlikely that we were strays. Either way, we're here at the pound now and we're looking for new families.
It takes us a very long time to warm up to new people. We mostly hide all day but we do come out sometimes when the peoples here at the pound are eating food. We like to put on the beg faces and bum people food. We are social with other dogs. We like to lay with them and be around them.
It is very likely that we are housebroken or at the very least, crate trained. We keep our cage clean at night. We don't know how to walk on leashes yet, so it is difficult for the workers to take us outside to go potty so we just kind of go once we are out of our cage.
We will need patient, understanding families who will give us time to warm up to them.
If you're looking to add a new dog to your family, please consider adopting one or both of us!
Our adoption fee is $120.00 (per dog). 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.
