Our Story

The Jackson County Dog Pound in Jackson, OH is a county facility for the housing of unwanted and stray dogs in the Jackson County area. The pound is currently a low-kill facility that welcomes rescues. Our facility is funded solely on the sale of dog licenses and private donations. Our primary focus is to find homes for the stray dogs of our county. If space permits, we can rehome owner surrendered dogs. All of our dogs are vaccinated and cared for with love! It is not uncommon for us to have "pure bred" or "designer" dogs avail for adoption. Please consider adoption before purchasing from a pet store. And ALWAYS spay or neuter your pet. In 2017 our facility took in 915 dogs! 602 of those were strays and 302 were owner surrenders. That means that 1/3 of our intakes were surrendered by their owners. Many of the “strays” were also owned dogs that were never reclaimed which is a shame. Luckily for those dogs and puppies we have some wonderful rescue groups that step up and help us. 446 dogs were transferred to non-profit rescue groups. 232 dogs were returned to their owners and 205 dogs found new owners. As with all animal organizations we have had to perform euthanasias. We do not do so for space or convenience. The 28 dogs put down in 2017 were either critically ill/injured or extremely aggressive. We take pride in our 97% live release rate. (live out/total in)
