To continue to keep the health of our essential staff a priority, ONLY visitors with an approved adoption application and an appointment will be able to enter the shelter. We limit the number of individuals from a family to no more than 2, with no children under the age of 8.
To begin the adoption process, please complete and submit an online adoption application located on our website: https://www.hsdcohio.org/adoptable. If you know the name/number of the pet you are interested in adopting, please enter the information on the application. Otherwise, please indicate what type of animal you are interested in (e.g., small adult dog, medium-sized puppy, kitten, adult long-haired cat). Once your application is received, one of our adoption counselors will call you to discuss your application and the animal(s). Our goal is to make a great match between the needs of the animal and the best adoptive home and lifestyle. An appointment will be scheduled for you to come to the shelter and meet the animal if it appears to be a good match.
Our website is current with available animals. We do not list pets that may be at the shelter or in foster care that have an adoption pending or are not yet available for adoption.
As always, we appreciate your understanding and patience as we determine what is best for our animals, staff, and community. We are thankful to have such a generous community who support our mission to help improve the lives of pets and their humans. If possible, please donate at https://www.hsdcohio.org/donate.
Thank you.
We are getting ready for a dog transport this weekend and could use some extra supplies for these beautiful puppies.
If you are out and about, we have a critical need for Pill Pockets (NOT PEANUT BUTTER), Hill's Science Diet Large Bite Puppy dry kibble, and Pedigree canned (wet) puppy food.
Thank you for helping us prepare for the precious cargo making their way from Texas to Ohio! ... See MoreSee Less

Is there any way of finding out whether we can find out if all or some of them are adoptable? I see them listed but never get a response back.
Do they all have fosters for the couple weeks?
Anxiously awaiting these ones to be available for adoption.
Would like to help

Good morning! ☀️ If you missed out on the last group of puppy fosters, or even if you just need something to distract you from the SNOW (?!?!), you are in luck!
We have a group of puppies who will need foster homes for about 2-4 weeks (depending on age). Most will be in pairs, but there are a few singletons and trios. Pick-up appointments will be scheduled either Sunday 4/25 evening or Monday 4/26. As usual, we provide food and everything else you need!
If you are interested or have questions, please EMAIL caninestaff@hsdcohio.org. We don't have the staffing to check phone messages and other messaging in a timely manner. Please be sure that you have filled out the ShelterLuv foster app at some point (no need to do that multiple times) and specify in your email if you have a size, gender, or time frame preference.
THANK YOU!

Today is Volunteer Recognition Day and we’d like to celebrate by sharing with you some fun photos of a few of our volunteers taken at different events over the past year.
Our volunteers do so much for us from helping with general animal care, walking dogs, cat enrichment, maintenance around the building/property, taking animals to offsite events, fostering and of course lots of laundry/dishes. We could not do all we do without their help and dedication and for that we say THANK YOU!!!!
We know things have been different over this past year. Last spring, for the first time, the shelter was closed to volunteers. They stuck by us and waited for the ok to return. For that we’re very appreciative.
Thank you all so much for all that you do. You truly are ROCKSTARS!!
*Note: all dogs shown below have been adopted 🥳🐶❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
