My story

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

**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**

Hi there. My name is Shepherd. I'm about 3 years old and I weigh about 55 lbs.
My sister, Cookie, and I were brought into the pound by a local police department after multiple, ongoing issues with us running at large. Our owner didn't claim us, so we are now looking for new, border collie savvy families to join.
At our previous home, we lived a lonely life in the fenced back with no job, no mental stimulation and very little physical exercise other than us just running the fenced yard. We became quite the masters of getting under the fence any old way we could. Once we were out, we would meander our way through town. As you can imagine, 2 border collies running through town can cause some mischief, albeit unintentional.
I will need a border collie savvy family that has the time and means to properly train me AND ensure that I am receiving exercise. We do still try to get out of fences and cannot even be trusted in the play yards here at the pound unless we are being closely monitored.
I have been good around the other dogs I've met here at the pound, but I am not a fan of cats, so a feline-free family would be best for me.
If you're looking for a sweet dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me.

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.

If we discover any dog adopted from us is living outside, we will seize them immediately. Your adoption fee will be non-refundable, and you will not get the dog back. You will forfeit all rights and ownership of your dog immediately.
We require that if you are unable to keep your adopted dog for any reason, they must be returned to us.

More about this shelter

We are a rural Animal Control facility located in Lisbon, OH. We do the very best we can to get our dogs adopted and into good, loving homes. We try our hardest to place all adoptable dogs into rescues or homes. We are a VERY RESCUE FRIENDLY pound. We do have to check rescues before they can pull, but this can usually be done within a couple of days. We do on occasions have to euthanize, though we do everything we can to get the dogs adopted. For the most part, we only have to euthanize for behavior issues or injuries or illness beyond repair, however we only have a limited amount of space here.
