Sharing from Dog Warden page:

Hello Everyone! Since the shelter is unfortantly filling back up we wanted to share all the fur babies that we currently have. We will be listing dogs up for adoption and dogs that are still looking for their owners. Please remember the goal is to reunite the dog back to their family so if you are missing a dog please contact us!

DOGS STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR HOMES:
1. Shelter calls him Igg. ( the shelter cow lol ) He is a brown and white pit bull male not neutered. He is still looking for his owners. young around a year old. If you are missing him please reach out! He was found on Greenwich Angling Rd near North Fairfield 419.668.9773

2. Young male German Shepherd. Brown and black in color around a year old. He is still looking for his owners. If you are missing him please reach out. He was found on North West St in Norwalk OH. 419.668.9773

DOGS THAT ARE UP FOR ADOPTION:
Adoption prices will depend on the time the dog has been in the shelter. If the dog has a low adoption fee this means the dog has been in the shelter longer then others.

Adoptions Priced at $67.75 (check or cash only)
1.) Lyra: Lyra is a female non spayed brindle and white shepherd mix breed. She is medium in sized and very well behaved towards people. She came into the shelter with another dog and has done well around the shelter dogs. We do not know how she is with cats. She is being guessed around 8ish years old but looks to be in good health! Active, playful and loves treats!

2.) Baymax: Baymax is a male non neutered white and brown pit bull mix breed. He is our chunky boy lol large in size! He is well behaved towards people and has been doing well with the shelter dogs. We do not know how he is with cats. Baymax is being guessed around 1 or 2 years old he is young! He seems to be in good health besides being over weight but lets be honest most of us are too lol. No shame Baymax!! He is active, playful and loves food!

Adoptions Priced at $45.25 (check or cash only)
4. ) Anakin: Anakin is a male non neutered red and white shepherd mix breed. He is young around 2ish years in age. He is a medium to large sized dog. Does great around people and children. Will need a home without other dogs. We do not know how he is with cats. He is very active and playful. Has a goofy energetic personality!

5.) Bullet: Bullet is a male non neutered brown and white pit bull mix breed. He is young in age around 1 year. He is a large sized dog but absolutely loves people and does well with children. He does well with other dogs. We do not know how he is with cats. He is active, playful and driven to learn. He is getting depressed in the shelter so please share his information!!!!!!!!

6.) Emery: Emery is a female black, brindle and white pit bull mix breed. She is a little shy meeting new people but warms up with treats and reassurance. She can be dog selective but gets a long with most. We do not know how she is with cats. Emery is a very pretty dog who deserves a quite relaxing home. She can be active and playful so a yard would be great too!

7.) Rucker: Rucker is a male brown and white non neutered retriever mix breed. He is young in age around 1 year old. He is very nervous around people but has taken well to certain family's who have meet him. He was homed with children and he did well with them but he seems to be very protective over the children in the house hold. He would need a home with less visitors to help Rucker with his anxiety. He is energetic and playful. Does well with car rides. Would love a home full of support and love!

Adoptions Priced at $24.75 (check or cash only)
9.) Esme: Esme is a female brown, brindle and white pit bull mix breed. She is smaller in sized around the size of a beagle. She does well with people and children and loves to meet everyone. She however will need a home without other dogs. We do not know how she is with cats. Esme is very active and loves to run and explore. She will need a home who can keep her secured outside due to her urge to explore. She enjoys sun baths and would enjoy a good home!

10.) Socks: Socks is a male non neutered black and white pit bull mix breed. He is around 2ish years old and is a medium sized dog. He does well with people but will need a home without other dogs. We do not know how he is with cats. Socks loves to play and is active. He enjoys McDonald's and will enjoy eating it with you! He is our Second Longest Resident in the shelter.

11.) Zayah Marie: Zayah is a female non spayed black and white pit bull. She is around 4 years in age and will need a home who is experienced around dogs. She is the type of dog who does not take to everyone she meets. She will need a home without small kids. She will need time and space to get to know her new environment. A home who knows how to motivate dogs who tend to be scared in unfamiliar places. She has taken well to a deputy and the dog warden here. She also had met another couple and did well around them. She is absolutely a GOOF BALL when she warms up to you. She loves to zoomie and play. She would make a great dog for the right home. If this could be with you then ask to meet Zayah this girl has been in the shelter for 2 years now :(

- All of our adoptions are first come first serve due to all the dogs being off their waiting period. Applications are still filled out prior to the adoption but most applications get approved right away and the dog can leave the same day as adoption. Stop in and meet some dogs!!!!!!!!!!!! We need the room and the dogs need homes to love them!

Shelter Location: 130 shady lane building E Norwalk OH 44857

Goodmorning Huron Co. Our department has had 6 (SIX) dogs in pounded within 1 (ONE) day. PLEASE TAKE EXTRA STEPS TO CONFINE YOUR DOGS! Leashes, Tie outs, being present with your dog while they are outside will all help with this issue. NONE ARE WEARING TAGS! Please put your county tags on your dogs collars. This is the FASTEST way to get the dog back to you without it possibly coming into the kennels... Please take extra steps to be responsible. If you are MISSING A DOG? Please contact us Monday morning or facebook message us so we know who to contact. If you are currently missing a dog please facebook message us or contact us with information so if we get called about the dog you can go pick the dog up.

Thank you for understanding. As a dog owner we need to make sure our fur babies are not running the roads where they could possible not come home. We need to do whats best for them. Thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope you have a great rest of your weekend!

I know reading comprehension went out the window a long time ago, but to see some of the comments by so called "educated" people are just ridiculous.
For one- the cat comments are over done! It is not the job now, nor has it ever been, of the DOG Warden to control or license felines.
For two- If you are not a repeat offender of having a dog at large, you have nothing to worry about. Now if you have a habit of letting your dog get loose repeatedly, get speeding tickets, OVI, drug related, stealing, anything that sends you to municipal court, etc... then yes, you will have an issue with the increase in MUNICIPAL COURT fees($75 to $150).
For three- This fee is NOT decided by the DW Office nor does any of it go to them. It's the Huron County Court System ONLY!! SMDH. ~Jenn

I know its a few extra bucks but please consider purchasing the Ohio State (medical fund) tag this year. This is the ONLY income they receive to help with medical cases that come in. There is NO money from their budget for these cases.

Hello Huron County. Do you want to make more of a difference this Holiday season? Maybe by purchasing something you already have to purchase for dog owners? Well you can! For an extra $5 per tag you can purchase an Ohio state dog tag and that $5 goes directly into our vet care for our dogs that come into the shelter.

Injured or sick strays do entered our kennels once in a while. We get the funds to help those strays from you guys purchasing these tags! Its a great purchase for a great cause. You can only purchase these tags at our department or the Auditors Department in Norwalk OH. So stop in soon and get those tags handled for the year of 2026!

Ohio State Tag with $5 donation is $27.75
We only take cash or check so please come prepared!
See ya soon!
