NEWS

We are in need of donations including canned dog or cat food, cat litter, leashes, collars, dog toys, rawhide chews, and cleaning supplies. Check out our WISH LIST to see how you can make the lives of our animals better. We also need volunteers to walk dogs, give baths, and in general just show some affection to these great animals. Any help is appeciated.

FUND RAISERS
We participate in the Cash For Critters ink jet, laser, and toner cartridge and cell phone recycling program. We can earn money for each cartridge and phone donated to the shelter. We also collect aluminum drink cans to recycle. Contact the shelter by e-mail about donating these to help our animals.

Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please click here.

SPONSOR A SHELTER ANIMAL
If you would like to donate part or all of the adoption fee or medical treatment for one of our pets, contact the shelter by e-mail or click here to go to our sponsorship page. Help find forever homes for our dogs and cats by sponsoring them. Even if you can't adopt a pet, you can help a pet have a better chance at finding someone who can. Your contribution could help save a life.

WHO WE ARE

Ohio County Animal Shelter is an open admission municipal animal shelter with limited resoures. Rescue groups are welcome. Thanks to Petfinder and wonderful volunteers, adopters, and rescues, we were able to save 469 dogs and cats in 2007. This was a record-breaking accomplishment! We had 373 adoptions/rescues in 2006, 303 in 2005, 197 in 2004 and 173 in 2003. Please help us save even more pets by adopting one of our terrific animals. If you are looking for a new forever friend, there is no better time than now.
