About Karl

Hi there. My name is Karl. I'm about 4 years old and I weigh about 30 lbs. I came in to the pound, along with 8 other dogs, from a hoarding case. We were living in very deplorable conditions. We weren't allowed outside, so we had very little experience with the outside world before coming in to the pound. I am a bit on the shy side and fairly unsocialized. It takes me some time to warm up to new people and adjust to new places. but once I get to know you, I am an absolute sweetheart. Once I adjust to my new home, surroundings and people, I am very happy, loving and sweet. I love to cuddle with you. I also enjoy belly rubs and getting human attention. I get along well with most other dogs. My best friend Boo and I share a kennel here at the pound, where we love to curl up on our bed together. I also lived in a home with many cats of various ages, so I also get along well with cats. We do surprisingly good at trying to 'hold it' until we're let outside and we keep our kennel pretty clean for the most part. If you're looking for a sweet dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me. **Due to the way we were found living and the fact that our owners will (and has in the past) send in people to try to adopt us back under false pretenses to give us back to them, anyone interesting in adopting any of the dogs from our case is subject to a background check, a home visit prior to adoption and an approved application prior to adoption, as well as signing a special contract agreeing that if I would, for any reason, end up back with my previous owner, criminal charges will be filed.** Our adoption fee is $150.00. The adoption fee must be paid in CASH. We are unable to accept personal checks or credit/debit cards for adoption fees. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. 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 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, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. 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: 8 am - 11 am. Sunday: 8 am - 11 am. Adoptions are always welcome during hours of operation. We will make special arrangements for adoptions in advance. There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend. 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.
