**WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. YOU MUST CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING. PLEASE LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING.- CCDP STAFF** Hi there. My name is Scarlett. I'm about 1 year old and I weigh about 45 lbs. I was brought into the pound as a "stray" in January with 2 puppies (not mine). I was very scared and it took me quite a while to warm up to anyone here at the pound. Shelter staff and volunteers worked with me for a couple of months doing what they could for me here at the pound, but the second I go back in to my kennel, I lose my mind. I am a dog that does not handle the noise and stress of the shelter environment well. I am currently being fostered by one of the employees here. I go home with her and stay with her and her family on nights and weekends and come to work with her during the day. I am doing FANTASTIC now that I am out of the pound. I stay in the office during the day and I am a very good girl. I am okay with the office kitties most of the time... except when I accidently clobber them with my big paws trying to get them to play with me. So although I am not mean to the cats, they don't exactly appreciate or enjoy my company. I LOVE other dogs of all sizes, though like with the cats, I can be a bit rough on the smaller ones. My foster has dogs ranging in size from 4 lbs to dogs my size and I love them all. I love to play and I love to snuggle with the other dogs. I am also the cuddliest, sweetest girl with all of my people. I love sleeping in bed, cuddled into you as close as possible. My foster humans tell me I snore loke a grown man with sleep apnea... I can be a little timid around new people. Sometimes it takes a while for me to warm up to them. Once I love you, I love you though! I am just the sweetest, happiest girl once I get to know you. I LOVE car rides and I do great in the car. I mostly just curl up and sleep the whole ride away. I have learned how to sit and wait to eat until I am told "okay" to eat. I don't like other dogs bothering me while I eat. My foster watches the other dogs to make sure they leave me alone and there are no issues. I am doing great with potty training and I have had very few accidents since being with my fosters. I may need a little more work when I get with a new family and they have a different schedule and whatnot. I would do best in a family that knows and understands the way bully breeds play as I can be quite rough at times, and the last thing I need in life is let down because someone doesn't understand me. If you're looking for a great dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me. Our adoption fee is $152. We accept cash, check or credit/ debit cards for adoption fees. If you pay using a credit or debit card, a convenience fee of 2.39% will also be applied. If paying by check, you will need 2. One Check will be for the dog license, and one will be for your dog's adoption fee, which includes heartworm testing (for dogs 6 months of age old and older), parvo/distemper vaccine, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, 3 days of panacur de-wormer, spay or neuter surgery, microchip, and a current Ohio dog license. We DO offer foster to adopt. (We will NOT accept cash for foster to adopt). We highly recommend you do a foster to adopt with your new dog if you are not 100% sure your new dog is going to work out in your home. Foster to adopt gives you a couple of weeks with the dog to make sure they are a good fit with your family before your payment is processed and the adoption is finalized. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt. If the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills, in addition to their adoption fee if possible so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care. We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter. Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. We try our absolute hardest to never have to euthanize for space and have not had to do so for many years thanks to the ongoing support from the public and high adoption rates. Please remember; the adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him! Shelter hours are Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm. Saturday, Sunday and holidays: 8 am - 12 pm. Adoptions are always welcome any day of the week/ weekend and on holidays. We are here everyday to care for the dogs and the best way to make our day is to see our dogs go to loving families. There is nobody in the office on Saturday, Sunday or holidays, so therefore, we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend. We are only staffed to take care of the dogs and do adoptions over the weekends/ on holidays. Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
