The Adoption Process
The Tuscarawas County Humane Society takes great care in placing the animals at our shelter into safe, comfortable and loving homes. Our simple three-step adoption process helps us determine the compatibility and safety of our adoptable animals and their new families.
Submit an online application. Be sure to contact the shelter to verify the approval of your application by calling 330-343-6060 or stopping at our facility located at 6895 Dover Zoar Rd, Dover Ohio 44622.
We have new animals arriving daily with no prior health history and, although we do not have a veterinarian on staff, we do our best to ensure that the pets we adopt are healthy.
Make arrangements to pick up your new pet from the shelter following the adoption approval.
We encourage making an appointment with your veterinarian for your new pet. If a condition should develop which requires veterinarian intervention, you need to discuss with your vet the options, possible fees involved, if he/she has a payment plan, etc. ALL ADOPTED puppies or kittens MUST BE SPAYED or NEUTERED at an appropriate age!
Adoption Fees
Dogs: $165
