My story

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

Meet Chocolate! Chocolate is a bit of a wild child! He came to us as a humane case, having been left behind in a crate after his owner moved out. He hasn’t let it get to him, and is more concerned about running around and playing.

As you can see from his “before” pictures, Chocolate was deprived of food. Due to his history with food insecurity, Chocolate will need to be fed separately from any other animals in the home, and any kids in the home should leave him alone while he eats. He will need some time to adjust to being loved and starting a new routine.

Chocolate needs a home where he can burn off some energy. He pulls hard on a leash, but with the right harness and some consistent exercise he will make a great companion!

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.
