Portage County Dog Warden Office and Shelter

Dog shelter in Ravenna, OH

The Portage County Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter is located in Ravenna, Ohio. The Dog Wardens Office handles everything from Rabies Quarantines, to livestock kill investigations, to enforcing licensing of dogs, and rescuing stray dogs for all of Portage County. We have close to 40-50 dogs in our kennel at any given time, of which most are waiting to find a new home.
The myth that the Portage Co. Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter euthanizes dogs after so many days is false. We only euthanize dogs for aggression, Vicious Dogs, and/or Illness, no time limit. Many dogs pass through our door on a yearly basis from owner surrenders to dogs found as strays, all looking for a good loving family to adopt them. Last year alone we had about 700 dogs come through our shelter.
All of the dogs that come through our shelter receive a heartworm test (if old enough), a distemper/parvo Vaccine (if old enough), Kennel cough vaccine, and a rabies vaccine (if old enough).
The Portage County Dog Warden’s Office and Shelter does not receive funding from the state or county (tax money). We survive solely on what is donated and funds from dog licenses.

If you are interested in a dog call us. We cannot provide transportation for the rescues or the citizens. We work with many rescues and other agencies to try placing as many dogs as we can into loving homes as well as provide a safe community for residents from stray or vicious dogs.
