Stray Dogs
The Logan County Animal Shelter is designed to serve the residents of Logan County. We answer calls for stray dogs, complaints of dogs running at large, as well as animal kills by dogs in a timely manner. We pick-up stray dogs, investigate humane complaints and reports of loose dogs. We enforce section 955 of the Ohio Revised Code concerning dogs. This code entails the handling of stray dogs within the county.
Based on these laws, the animal shelter does not handle calls or complaints concerning stray cats. The shelter does work with Logan County TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) to make some of their cats and kittens available for adoption in the shelter.

Payments
The shelter is now accepting cash, check and card payments (with 3.95% fee) for dog tags, claim fees, adoption fees and retail items.
Adopt A Pet
All adoptions are subject to the following policies:
- To adopt an animal, you must complete an adoption application and be approved by the shelter staff. All required documentation must be turned in before an application will be considered.
- No adoption applications will be accepted until after the mandatory hold period.
- In the case of multiple applications for a single animal, the applications will be reviewed in the order we receive them.
- There will be no "same-day" adoptions. In other words, the animal will not go home with you the same day you turn in the application.
- We require all unaltered animals be spayed or neutered within 45 days of adoption. We reserve the right to confiscate the animal if this requirement is not met. You will be required to provide proof of the spay/neuter to the shelter within the 45-day time frame.
- Animals at the Logan County Animal Shelter have not been fully vetted or temperament tested. We do not guarantee the health or temperament of any animal adopted from the shelter. We do our best to make sure the animals are healthy and they do receive their first round of vaccinations. We encourage all adopters take their animal to their vet for a wellness check as soon as possible after adoption.
- All adoptions are final.
- All applications must be approved by shelter staff.
- Due to time needed, no adoptions will be done after 30 minutes prior to closing.
- Adoption Applications are available online only.
Shelter StaffShelter staff is led by the Dog Warden, Deputy Jake Boyd.
