Princess is still looking for her hew home after being surrendered to the shelter. Princess is around 10 years old and was in a home since she was puppy but ended up in the shelter because the family got a new puppy and the other 2 female dogs were starting to fight over the puppy. She is housebroken and already fixed. Princess loves attention, still playful and she is just a happy dog with her tail just wagging away! She may not be good with other dogs but I do not believe it is no fault of her own. Princess has let other dogs sniff her through the cage door. Let's help this sweet girl find a new home! If interested in checking out Princess, you can message the shelter, call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment or stop by on Thursdays from Noon - 1 pm and Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

Meet Princess. This poor girl was surrendered to the shelter because the other dogs were starting to fight Princess over a puppy that the family brought home. From my understanding, that Princess did not start the fights but would fight back to protect herself. The family had Princess since she was a puppy. Princess is around 10 years old and is fixed. She is friendly, likes attention and has been an inside dog. I believe that she still has plenty of life in her and is a laid back girl. At this point, I can not say if she will be good with other dogs. If interested in checking Princess out, you can message the shelter, call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment or stop by during adoption hours on Thursdays from Noon - 1 pm or Saturdays from 9 am to 10 am. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

It is hard to believe that there has been no interest in Doug! This poor fella was dumped on a county road along with some dog food and left there to fend for himself because apparently his previous owner gave up on him. Doug was a little afraid while trying to catch him but never barked or growled. He has since come out of his shell and is really enjoying all the attention he gets at the shelter as well as a place to run! Of course, a home would be much better! Doug is possibly around 2-4 years old, very friendly, loves attention, loves belly rubs and seems to be good with other dogs. He likes to go on walks, play in the yard and his tail is constantly wagging! I have never heard Doug bark but he does like to talk once in a while! Doug is up to date on vaccines, weighs about 62 lbs and is ready for a new home! If interested in checking out Doug, you can message the shelter, call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment or stop by the shelter on Thursdays from Noon - 1 pm and Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

This is Chloe. She is looking for a new home since no one came looking for her. Chloe is around 1-3 years old, very friendly, loves attention and seems to be good around most other dogs.

On a trial run.

This is Ren. He is looking for an new home and he is hoping that comes soon since no one has come to visit him! Ren is around 2 years old and is possibly a German Shepherd mix type dog. Ren loves to play in the yard, very friendly, loves attention and seems to be good with some other dogs. Ren's biggest issue that I have seen is that he likes to climb a fence and get out. While out in the yard with Ren, he has not tried to climb the fence. I do feel that Ren might be good on a tie out or an invisible fence. While Ren is getting fed, I will tell him to go to his kennel and sit down before he gets fed and he does it with no talk back! When we are done playing in the yard, I tell Ren to get into his kennel and he will go in without a problem. He would much rather be playing in a new family's yard and not in a shelter! If interested in checking Ren out, you can Facebook message the dog shelter or call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment. You may also stop by the shelter on Thursdays from Noon to 1 pm or Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

This is Rex. He is still looking for a new home and no one has come to look at him. Rex is around 2 years old and is possibly a German Shepherd Mix type dog. Rex loves attention, very friendly, playful and seems to be good some other dogs. He possibly could be housebroken. Rex is just wanting to find a new home very soon instead of shelter life! The main issue with Rex is that he will climb a fence to get out. While out in the fenced in yard with Rex, he has not tried to climb the fence. I feel that he may be good on a invisible fence or a tie out while outside. I will tell Rex to get into his kennel and he goes in without any issues. When Rex is getting fed, I again tell him to go to his kennel and sit down, which he does with no problems. If interested in checking Rex out, you can Facebook message the shelter or call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment. You may also stop by the shelter on Thursdays from Noon to 1 pm or Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

Meet Ember. This Australian Shepherd Mix type dog is looking for a new home. She was surrendered to the shelter.
