My story

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

Introducing Gremlin! Gremlin is 2.5-3 years old and weighs about 65 pounds. He loves being outside, soaking up the sun, enjoying some peace and quiet. He’s all about attention once he feels safe with you, and the volunteers who know him? Total fans. He’s a favorite.

Now, full disclosure: Gremlin can be a little intimidating when you first meet him. He’s not going to roll over for belly rubs right away—and that’s okay. Give him a couple meet-and-greets, bring the treats, and let him come around on his own terms. Once he does, you’ll see the goofball underneath that tough-guy exterior.

Life hasn’t exactly been kind to Gremlin. His previous owners didn’t set him up for success. He ended up on the surrender list at the Humane Society, and not long after, he and his brother were brought in as “strays.” It’s no surprise he missed out on learning things like sit, shake, or how to actually play. But the good news? He’s a blank slate, and he’s ready to learn with someone who believes in him.

Gremlin’s the kind of dog who just needs someone to give him a real shot. Could that someone be you?

Additional adoption info

The Marion County Dog Pound is now under the control of the Marion County Sheriff's Office and is located at 2252 Richland Road. We are required by law to hold a dog for 3 days to allow the owner to claim the dog. If it is not claimed, it will then be an adoptable dog. We will post all adoptable dogs on our Facebook page along with pictures. The adoption fee is $135 which includes the spay/neuter surgery, Heartworm test, rabies, Intra-trac, and DAPP Vaccines, and a dog tag. We are a rescue friendly facility and do not charge a pull fee, rescues are more than welcome to make a donation when pulling a vetted dog but it is not required.

Dogs are as is. There are no health guarantees
Adopters are required to sign an agreement to spay/neuter the dog if not already done, the dog may be seized if any portion of the adoption contract is broken.

More about this shelter

The Marion County Dog Pound is a county facility that is run by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. We respond to stray/loose dogs and Humane cases, bringing in several dogs a week. Since the Sheriff's Office took over, we have became classified as a no-kill facility only euthanizing for sickness and aggression. We are doing our best to maintain a no-kill environment and are working diligently to help and re-home every dog that comes through our doors. To do this we need the help of our community. Volunteers are welcome to come out at any time!
