My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there. My name is Spotted Fred. I'm somewhere around 8 mo- 1 yr old and I weigh about 50 lbs.
I was dumped out along the side of the Wellsville area. I was very scared and it took a few days before I finally let someone catch me. Once I was finally captured, I immediately turned into a super sweet, very loving boy.
I came in to the pound with a badly broken femur that, unfortunately will require an amputation of my leg. I am hoping I can find a loving family before my surgery, which will be scheduled for sometime around the beginning of July. It would be very nice to be able to recover from my amputation in the comfort of an adoptive or foster home rather than a kennel here at the pound.
I am a really wonderful, sweet, happy, loving boy!
I am clean and I appear to have been a house dog. I am smart, too! I have already learned some basic commands.
Please don't be concerned that I am losing a leg. I promise that I won't let it keep me down for too long. Us doggies are very resilient!
If you're looking for a great dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me.
If you cannot adopt me, but would like to donate towards my vet care and surgery, donations can be made either to the pound or directly to Sunny Ridge Vet Clinic in Rogers, OH (ph: 3302279295). XOXO, Spotted Fred!

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.
