Stark County Dog Warden Dept's adoption process
Additional adoption info
12.00 license, 15.00 adoption fee, and 35.00 spay/neuter deposit which is refunded to you after the dog is fixed. This also includes a 5 way shot. I(f you wish for the dog to be heartworm tested prior to adoption, that is available at an additional fee. That must be paid regardless if the dog tests negative or positive.) Rescues with 501c3 status can adopt dogs at a reduced fee. We take cash only.
If someone wishes to adopt a dog before its 72 hr hold is up, they may place a "hold" on that dog. The hold is good for the day the dog can go. We take up to three holds on each dog. (If the first hold drops off or doesn't show, the second hold has 24 hrs to get the dog, etc).

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
