All stray dogs that have reached the state-mandated 72 hour holding period can be adopted on a FIRST COME/FIRST SERVED BASIS. We do not hold dogs or accept deposits on dogs to be held. We realize this procedure is sometimes inconvenient to some of our clients. However, years of adopting dogs to the community have shown this to be the most fair and practical method. Dogs surrendered by their owner, may be adopted immediately.
To adopt a dog you, or a representative, must personally sign the adoption papers.
SAMPLE FORMS ONLY. FORMS MUST BE SIGNED AT OFFICE.
Adoption Form Vet Form
The charge is $50.00 adoption fee, and $14.00 for the dog license, for a total of $64.00. All dogs are the same price.
Once the adoption papers are signed, we will contact one of our local veterinarians that have agreed to help our office spay and neuter. We will set up an appointment for your new dog to be spay/neutered, receive its "first shots," and its one year rabies vaccination, all at no charge to you. Any other veterinarian work is paid by the new dog owner.
Your new dog will stay with us until the morning of the appointment. We will then take your new pet to the veterinarian. You will be able to pick up your new dog (in most cases) the same day.
Long-Distance Adoption Help
If you wish to file a formal complaint about a dog, be prepared to give our office the most information that you can. Please keep in mind, all of our work here is public knowledge. We cannot keep your name anonymous unless you can demonstrate a clear threat to your safety.
We cannot accept dog complaints by email. If you have a complaint please call our office at 419-334-2372.
We need your name and address and as much information about the dog owner as possible. The more information (name, address, type of offense) that you can give the better we can do our job. We do not handle barking dogs, cats, or wildlife.
We have to see a violation to issue a citation, UNLESS you wish to sign a sworn statement. Keep in mind false statements can be prosecuted as perjury.
Due to budget constraints regarding overtime and staff limitations the dog warden's office does not respond to after hours complaints except in the case of emergency dog bites. Resolution 2007-19 Section 2.
