About Charlie

**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 Charlie. I'm about 7 years old and I weigh about 50 lbs. I was brought into the pound as a stray. I slipped out of the collar I had on the next day and was on the run ALL DAY because I was just so afraid that I didn't want to come to anyone. Finally, after being on the lam all day, one of the girls that work at the pound was able to find me and after a little time, was able to get me caught. She decided that I should go home with her for the night to try to give me a little time away from the pound and help calm me down. I was a really amazing boy at her house! I was afraid of her dogs at first and I acted defensive, but once I became a little more accustomed to them, I mingled and coexisted with them just fine. I liked the human's teenage son and husband a lot too. I was a good boy and ate all of my food both at night and in the morning. I didn't try to get into the other dogs' bowls and I didn't care about them being near mine, but they didn't try getting in my bowl because they've been trained not get into each other's bowls. I was also really good that night. I slept in the bedroom with the adult humans and other dogs. I mostly slept in the recliner, but also slept at the bottom of the bed some. I didn't have any accidents at her house. I also don't have any accidents here at the pound. So that is some of the good stuff, let me tell you about some faults... I do NOT like being poked, prodded, restrained, getting nail trims or things like that. I will bite. Not because I want to hurt you, just because I want left alone. I'm pretty good at avoiding muzzles, so it can be very difficult to do vaccines and things like that with me. That is the ONLY time I have been a naughty boy since I have been here, though. If you're looking for a great 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
