Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello. My name is Rome. I'm about 3 years old and I weigh about 65 lbs.
I was picked up by the pound after making my way onto a roof at the apartment building I used to live in. I kept going in and out as if to alert my rescuers of something else. Lucky for the severely emaciated puppy living with me that I did because he would have been dead within a day or two with the terrible condition I was in. We were both saved and later surrendered by our owner so we can be adopted into loving homes.
At first when I came in, I was very shy and standoffish. After getting to know that the people here are kind and only want to help me and love me, I came out of my shell and warmed up to them in no time.
I can still be a little on the shy side with new people at ffirst, but I warm up pretty fast.
I am a truly great dog. I am sweet with people. I love to snuggle up next to you and after I get to know you pretty well, I love giving kisses too.
I get along well with most other dogs too and I like to play. My previous owner said I also get along with cats.
I did test positive for lyme disease, which is a tick-borne disease. I will need to see a vet to be treated. Typical treatment is a month on antibiotics and then getting vaccinated. Otherwise, I seem to be a pretty healthy fellow.
If you're looking for a wonderful 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.
