Adoptable Pets at Marion County Dog Pound

Shelter FAQs

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!
We serve Marion County, Ohio, but allow adoptions and rescues from anywhere.

Adoption steps

  1. Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
    Any kids or dogs in the home must come in to meet the pound dogs.
  2. Sign Adoption Contract
    We offer a 30 day “trial adoption”, also known as “foster-to-adopt” to ensure the dog is the right fit for the household prior to finalizing
  3. Take the Pet Home

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.
The Marion County Dog Pound welcomes all types of donations. We are often in need of Rescue Disinfectant, laundry detergent and multi-purpose floor cleaner . We also accept monetary donations to help cover the cost of medical treatment, food and cleaning supplies. If you are considering a donation of items, you may contact the Pound to see what we are most in need of at the time.
