My story

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

Meet Lizzy - our longest term resident! Lizzy is a beautiful dog. She does a cute little happy dance when you walk by her kennel. She wiggles and toes taps and puts on a big smile. Lizzy is around eight years old. She came to us as a stray and we don’t have any background info on her, but she seems perfectly happy and easygoing and is SO ready to find a home. Lizzy is getting overwhelmed with kennel life and living with so many other dogs, and will need a meet and greet with any dogs in the home. She gets fixated on cats and will need a home without them. Lizzy seems to enjoy kids and we think she would do just fine in a home with children. Lizzy has lost out on a year of her life and deserves a future.

Additional adoption info

The Marion County Dog Pound is now under the control of the Marion County Sheriff's Office and is located at 2252 Richland Road. We are required by law to hold a dog for 3 days to allow the owner to claim the dog. If it is not claimed, it will then be an adoptable dog. We will post all adoptable dogs on our Facebook page along with pictures. The adoption fee is $123.00 which includes the spay/neuter surgery, Heartworm tes, rabies, Intra-trac, and Dapp Vaccines, and a dog tag. We are a rescue friendly facility and do not charge a pull fee, rescues are more than welcome to make a donation when pulling a vetted dog but it is not required.

Dogs are as is. There are no health guarantees
Adopters are required to sign an agreement to spay/neuter the dog if not already done, the dog may be seized if any portion of the adoption contract is broken.

More about this shelter

The Marion County Dog Pound is a county facility that is ran by the Marion County Sheriff's Office, we respond to stray/loose dogs and Humane cases, bringing in several dogs a week. Since the Sheriff's Office took over, we have became classified as a no-kill facility only euthanizing for sickness and aggression. We are doing our best to maintain a no-kill environment and are working diligently to help and re-home every dog that comes through our doors. To do this we need the help of our community. Volunteers are welcome to come out at any time!
