Don't forget to see us at Dave Strickland Insurance in Wellston on Thursday!
We do still need some event fosters. So if you would like to be in charge of a dog during the event, please reach out and let us know. The more volunteers we have the more dogs we are able to take to the events.
If you would like to stop in tomorrow and give a dog a bath, that would be amazing. We have a few that are in need.

I cannot stress this enough... DO NOT APPROACH a dog when a warden is trying to catch it! There is a dog running around the highway near the movie theater and it was almost within reach but was spooked by well-meaning people. I know you want to help but instead the dog is scared and running back across the highway! A trap was set but people kept driving close to the dog and trying to help. It DOES NOT HELP. When you see us almost able to grab a dog it's because we've been slowly earning its trust and it gets destroyed when you approach or shout things from a moving vehicle.
In an effort to keep it safe, we're going to step back and try again later.
Please do not chase a scared dog!

Miss Olivia is named in honor of Olivia Montgomery. She was a lovely girl who was an animal lover! To honor her memory this dog has been sponsored so the adopter will just pay the tag fee of $14.
Adopted dogs have gotten vaccines, wormer, flea/tick prevention, and will be scheduled for a spay. We also send them home with a leash & collar.
If you would like to meet Miss Olivia, stop in weekday mornings before noon or weekends before 11. You can also call to schedule an appointment.

For those of you who are curious, this is what we dealt with in May.
47 dogs came into our care. Since we started with 20 dogs, we cared for 67 total dogs in May.
ONLY 5 were adopted, 10 went back to their owners, 1 was fostered for a short time, and 34 were transferred to rescue partners.
There were 272 phone calls logged.
We have only sold 6923 tags at the end of May.
If you haven't purchased your licenses, please do so immediately. It is the sole funding for the shelter.
What isn't recorded are the hours we spend online trying to find adopters and rescues. Hours of research, worry, and networking. Please reclaim your dogs. Please share posts. Please spay & neuter. We weren't able to help as many dogs as we'd like to because we simply do NOT have the room, staff, or resources. Thank you for your continued support.

Here is a little walkthrough of the dog pound. I just wanted to show everyone that almost all of our kennels are full. Unfortunately we even have large dogs in the smaller kennels. There are a couple of dogs not shown in this video because they are being kept in other areas.

Mingo is a character! He may be small but he's not a couch warmer! He is a bundle of energy.

We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. All adoptions include dog license, microchip, vaccines, spay or neuter surgery, and a leash and collar.

Prairie Dawn and Baby Bear were so cute playing today ❤️ Baby Bear needs proper introductions to new friends and can be dog selective due to being afraid of them. Baby Bear is just under 40lbs and is about 1yr old. He is housebroken. Prairie Dawn is about 10 months old and weighs just over 30lbs. She is housebroken, ok with cats, likes kids, and is dog friendly! She is perfect!

Karl and Billy had a blast playing today. Hoffman wasn't very interested. Karl is around 9m and 53lbs Billy is about 4 months and is over 30lbs and growing. Hoffman is about 9 months and weighs 34lbs.

Rebecca and Hoffman refused to play on camera but they have been getting along very well. Hoffman is the smaller dog, he's around 9 months and weighs 34 lb. Rebecca is about the same age and weighs over 50lbs. . Our adoption fee is $100 APPLICATIONS are available online at petango. com or in person at the dog pound during morning business hours.

All dogs are given wormer and a flea and tick treatment. Discount training is available from Gina Sims, the Dog Diva.

Cayman is still available. His adoption fee has also been sponsored. This adult male walker coonhound would make someone a wonderful companion, a buddy to walk in the woods with, or a hunting partner. He is dog friendly but tends to be a bit sure of himself so he may challenge for a leadership role. It's important to introduce dogs properly and keep them supervised. He probably would not do well in a home with another alpha dog. He doesn't try to start altercations but he will assert dominance if challenged. He has played well with most other dogs. He has not shown any resource guarding or aggression. He does bark at and chase cats. He sees every human as a friend, even kids. Additional videos and pictures in the comments.

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)
