My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** OUR SHELTER IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. YOU MUST CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING. THIS MAY CHANGE AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO UPDATE, SO IF YOUR CALL ISN'T RETURNED WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS, WE MAY HAVE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC COMPLETELY IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP OURSELVES AND OUR OWN FAMILIES HEALTHY. WE WILL STILL CARE FOR THE DOGS DURING THESE UNCERTAIN TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING.- CCDP STAFF**

Hello. My name is Gramps. I came in to the pound as a very neglected stray in January. I am blind, deaf and I had the largest testicles the pound staff had ever seen. I was also walking very funny in the hind end. They named me Gramps and spoiled me until my vet appointment, expecting to hear the worse. Instead, the vet said that I'm only about 5-6 years old, I didn't have testicular cancer, just very large testes and I was walking funny because they were so heavy they were weighing me down. I got to have my first ever bath and I was an angel for it. I was neutered and I am already walking much better.
I was obviously an outside dog for probably my whole life. I am slowly transitioning and learning how to be an inside dog.
I will need a patient family that can give me plenty of training and time to adjust to my new home and surroundings. It isn't easy for a blind dog dog to adjust to new places.
I seem to get along fine with other dogs. I don't really care much either way.
I am not yet housebroken but do pretty well with going outside to go potty.
If you're looking for a sweet old dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me.

Our adoption fee is $150.00. The pound DOES NOT accept checks for adoption fees. We're able to accept cash for adoption OR Visa/ Mastercard/ Discover Card. A convenience fee of 2.39% will be applied to all credit/ debit card adoptions. If you intend to do a foster-to-adopt, the fee must be cash. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. 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 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, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. 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: 8 am - 11 am.
Sunday: 8 am - 11 am.
Adoptions are always welcome during hours of operation. We will make special arrangements for adoptions in advance.
There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend.

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.
