About Sampson

**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 Sampson. I'm about 7 years old and I weigh about 65 lbs. I was taken by the pound after MULTIPLE issues of my owner neglectfully letting me run the neighborhood. I am not a mean dog, but when I ran, I would bark and it would scare people and make them think I was being mean. I would also chase cats and cause issues with some other pets in the neighborhood, so it was understandably an issue. My owner failed to even attempt to rectify any of the issues. After making my way in, there were also statements made by people who knew me and my previous owner and they stated that though he did treat me okay for the most part, there were also times he would beat and kick me and they begged the pound to make sure I wasn't returned to him or anyone that was associated with him to help keep me from ending up in a situation like that again. Here at the pound, I have been an absolutely excellent boy. I do best if I am either leash walked or kept on a tie out when I am outside because I will get out of the outdoor kennels here at the pound and would likely get out of fenced yards if I am unsupervised, but I am content just lounging in the sunshine on my tie out when I am outside here, so it would be a just fine solution for outdoor/ potty time at home. I get along okay with large female dogs and some males, but I do need a meet and greet to make sure we do okay together prior to being adopted. If you're looking for a sweet dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me. **Due to the situation I was removed from and the fact that my owner has tried getting me back via sending other people to adopt me back for him, I will not be available for same day adoption and a background check will be preformed for anyone looking into 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 holidays.
