Scioto County Dog Shelter

All dogs will be spayed and neutered before adoption and some vaccinations and worming are available through the local Animal Welfare League. Please inquire about these programs prior to adoptions to insure the availability.

We are a very rescue friendly organization and will be happy to release dogs to approved rescues. Please contact us for approval if you are interested in pulling dogs from our facility. Some transport is available and vetting can be arranged at the expense of the rescue. Contact us for details.
