FRANKLIN COUNTY DOG SHELTER

The Franklin County Dog Shelter is committed to encouraging adoption as an alternative to purchasing a dog or puppy from a pet store. Since 2002, the shelter has hosted "Mingle With Our Mutts" at the shelter. Now held on both the first and third Sundays of each month, this fun, family-friendly event has grown to become the most popular adoption event in Central Ohio, and is attended by many people each month. In addition to dogs and puppies from the Franklin County shelter, numerous area rescue groups for both cats and dogs participate in the event as part of our cooperative adoption/rescue effort... Our mission is to enforce the dog laws in Franklin County and keep the public safe from animal-related health or safety dangers... Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center is committed to saving lives. Our shelter is the largest county shelter in Ohio. Last year we took in 9,819 dogs and puppies, including all stray dogs in the county as well as owner surrenders and unwanted litters..
