About Lemon

Meet Lemon! She arrived as a stray on September 20, 2026. Lemon is believed to be between 10 months to a year old and came in quite emaciated, which has led to her strong food obsession. She thinks everything is food—her paws, your hands, you name it. It's crucial for her new family to work patiently with her to help her understand that she will never go hungry again. Due to her past, we recommend she goes to a home without small children. Despite her challenges, Lemon has a bright future ahead of her with the right care. She's ready for adoption, so don’t miss the chance to meet her! Lemon is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH. You can call 419-774-5892 for more information and begin the application process by emailing dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov.
