My name is Kitty!

**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**

Kitty is a very special girl looking for a very special home. She is about 7 years old and she weighs about 50 lbs.
Kitty came in to us in January 2023 as a "stray". She was very thin, missing a lot of hair, had ear and skin infections, wasn't spayed, had a mammary mass and was overall very neglected. Part of that neglect was also not being given basic heartworm prevention. On top of all of the other funk she had going on medically, she also came in with heartworm disease.
Kitty has been undergoing heartworm treatment. She received (hopefully) the last of her immiticide injections in June 2023. After giving her body time to recover and following the heartworm treatment protocol, she finally tested negative for heartworm and was able to be spayed and have her mammary mass removed.
Kitty is a super duper sweet girl that LOVES attention and affection. She is quiet, well mannered and does a great job keeping her kennel clean. She was definitely a house dog before making her way to us and she appears to be house trained, but does have anxiety when you go away. She would do best if kept in a heavy duty crate while you're away to help keep her and your belongings safe. She does not chew up her toys, blankets, beds or any other inappropriate items here at the pound in her kennel..
Kitty does well with our cat and has also done well with most our other dogs here at the pound. She can be grumpy with them if they are too active for her.
We've been trying yo find a loving family for her to join because it always takes us so long to find dogs that have had heartworm families. She did go to a foster to adopt home for a short time, but was returned because she was a little too strong and too active for her.
If you would like to help Kitty along on her journey but cannot give her a home, please share this post or consider donating towards our ever-growing vet bill. So far, Kitty's vet care has been over $1000. She deserved vet care just like every single good dog does! It isn't her fault she ended up at the pound neglected, heartworm positive and homeless. We couldn't continue helping out these amazing dogs without all of your support.

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.
