Medina County Dog Shelter

Thank you for staying open past 4:00 so I could adopt Binkers, now Clare. She has been an absolute wonderful addition to our family.

We have adopted three dogs from here over the years. Two were senior dogs that we wanted to feel loved and be able to roam a large yard in their final years. The other is a hyper little bird dog that has become such a great member of the family. The staff has always been very nice and helpful.

I got a dog here a week ago. They were nice and their adoption application process is practically nonexistent. You don't have to jump through 1000 hoops just to end out being turned down for adopting a dog. My dog, Rusty, was owner surrendered and they gave us all the info on vaccines the previous owners had provided them. Can't ask for a better experience, they were even nice when I called to make sure we wouldn't do the ~ 2 1/2 hour drive in vain.

Staff was so kind and helpful... My son was very upset about the loss of our families pet Peaches, which 13 years earlier my Mom and got here, at the Medina County animal shelter. Millie was really the one that saved us and help us heal from a broken heart. My Son hugged and kissed her the whole ride home... And cried tears of happiness for part of the ride. He just kept saying this is a dream come true. This is exactly the Dog I wanted! We are so blessed to have her as part of our family! There are so many animals that need forever homes... Instead of getting a puppy adopt from a shelter.

I called this shelter to inquire about a dog that would be going up for adoption soon if the owners did not claim her and was absolutely shocked and disgusted by the answers I received. Firstly he told me that the people that found her had first dibs on her if they decided they still want her and she was not claimed. Why bother posting her if that's the case? Secondly he told me that if they didn't want her or didn't show up by 10 on Monday morning that they would loose their chance. If this ends up being the case he then went on to tell me that they had fifty people interested in her and what they would do is then raffle her off in a drawing to whoever shows up Monday at 10. This is so wrong and irresponsible. They don't care about the dog or who they send her home with. I was shocked to
