Adopting a Dog from the Pike County Dog Pound

• Adoption fee is $50.00 cash. This fee includes an Ohio dog tag.
• Bring a dog collar and leash for your new dog.
• The dog may be dirty from being in a kennel. We suggest that you bring an old blanket to protect your car.
• The pound can not guarantee the temperament or health of the dogs or puppies housed at the pound. We strongly recommend taking your new dog to your vet as soon as possible.

**We do not shelter cats or livestock**

For information about dogs or puppies or in order to adopt a dog please contact us at 740-708-3905. THERE IS NO “PULL FEE” FOR APPROVED RESCUES.

ADOPTION FEES ARE $50.00 PER DOG/PUPPY, higher for a fully vetted animal. This includes a dog license for Pike County residents. Exact cash only. The dog pound does not accept checks, credit cards or debit cards.

PUPPIES ARE AVAILABLE TO APPROVED RESCUES AT ANY TIME. Our funding for veterinary care is limited but we make every effort to send healthy dogs and pups on Rescue transports. We highly recommend taking your rescued/adopted dog or puppy to your veterinarian as soon as possible after rescue/adoption as we often do not know their health backgrounds.

Rescues: If you require veterinary services before transport, this can be arranged through our veterinarians.

SPAY or NEUTER your pets. Every year HUNDREDS of unwanted puppies come into the Pound because dogs were not spayed or neutered. This is the NUMBER ONE way you can help! Spayed or neutered dogs stay healthier, have better temperaments and tend not to wander away.

LICENSING your dog helps us find YOU if your dog is lost or stolen. Licenses may be purchased at the Pike County Dog Pound or the Pike County Auditor’s Office.

PLEASE ADOPT OR RESCUE from the Pike County Dog Pound. We have many puppies and dogs coming in every day. We are a small, rural pound with very limited space. All of these wonderful dogs and puppies are in need of new homes or rescues as soon as possible. We try our best to hold dogs for as long as possible and make every attempt to place dogs and puppies into loving homes or rescues. We are very adopter and rescue friendly. Please contact us at 740-708-3905 to adopt a dog!
