Join us for a festive evening with your furry friends! Bring your dog for photos with Santa (by donation) and enjoy delicious food from Krooked Kitchen and Rollin' with Seo. We will also have local vendors where you can shop all things dog related and more!
It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season—treats, photos, and fun for all! Don’t miss out—see you and your pup there!
Words can’t even begin to explain how incredibly thankful we are to have experienced the Dogs Playing For Life Program. It’s truly been a game changer for our shelter dogs and has impacted our team and the dogs in our care beyond anything we could have imagined.
This program has changed the way we approach care, enrichment, and behavior. We plan to see shorter lengths of stay, this will help our dogs grow more confident, and most importantly give the dogs a chance to thrive with other dogs in homes.
One of the most beautiful transformations we’ve seen is with Louise, a dog who has spent much time as the shelter struggling to get along with other dogs. Now, she’s playing in groups, confidently engaging with other dogs, and showing a side of her we’ve never seen before.
We are forever grateful for this life changing experience and excited for all of the beautiful changes to occur since implementing this program to the shelter. Thank you to Dogs Playing For Life for giving staff and the dogs a life changing experience.
Join us for our Santa PAWS Open House on December 13th from 4-8pm for a festive evening of fun and holiday cheer! Bring your furry friends to meet Santa and capture the perfect holiday moment with a photo by the talented Meg Bowman Photography. In addition to the photo op, we’ll have a fantastic lineup of unique vendors offering special gifts for pets and people alike, as well as tasty treats from local food trucks. It’s the perfect way to kick off the season with your pets, shop local, and enjoy delicious food all in one place.

Hello! My name is Tucker, and I’m a good boy currently battling heartworm. I came to the shelter with very bad skin issues, and am doing much better, but now I’m looking for a loving foster home to support me while I go through my treatment. Despite my health condition, I have a lot of love to give and am eager to find a temporary home where I can rest, recover, and share my affectionate nature. If you have room in your heart and home to help me through this tough time, I promise to be the best good boy!
Please consider donating towards his treatment: https://client.pointandpay.net/web/WayneCoDogShelterOH/
Please call 330-345-1018 if you are interested in fostering Tucker!

He requires an active family, lots of foods and good pets.
Apollo has a different way of enjoying the fair! He convinced volunteer Roger to let him roll down the hill before jumping up and playing in the creek. Then they climb back up and do it all again. TBH we're not certain who is having more fun! #wehavethebestvolunteers
