Our Featured Pet...
Who We Are
We take in all of the stray dogs from Geauga County. We are a county agency. We have 3 full time employees, one part time employee and a group of volunteers that walk our dogs. We are always looking for more help. This is a financially poor shelter. We receive $8.50 if someone buys a dog tag. This is insufficient to care for the 700+ dogs that are picked up each year. Your donation makes a large difference in the care of the dogs. Food is always good. Please buy a dog tag for your dog, it helps your shelter.
Upcoming Events
We are going to a Farmers market on Saturday's from 9:00 to 1:00 at the corner of rt 306 and Bell Rd in South Russell. Please come and see our dogs and purchase local food.
Donations Needed
Please donate to a vet, buy us a spay or neuter at any of the vets in our area. Maybe your vet will allow you to purchase, for us, a spay or neuter -- ask them.

As you may or may not know, the Geauga County Dog Shelter is not funded from the general tax fund. Therefore, both the staff and the dogs tremendously appreciate all donations of supplies and money. Donations made in someone's name as a gift or memorial are welcomed and needed. Remember, your donation is tax-deductible! The dogs would love to have the following: Towels, Blankets, rugs (anything for them to lie on in their cages) Dry and canned Dog Food. The staff could really use: Laundry soad, Pine Sol, Brooms, Deodorizers, Dryer Sheets, Fabric Softener, Floor Squeegies, Garbage Bags (large heavy duty size), Mops, Spray cleaners, Sponges and any office supplies. We could also use crates that we can take to events. They have nylon style folding ones, metal ones, plastic ones. Anything would be helpful for the dogs.
Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers! YOU are needed the most! The dogs need to be walked, played with, brushed and loved by you! PLEASE if you can spare any time stop in and pick up a volunteer packet. If you have questions about our volunteer program please call our shelter or email at deputydogcindy@yahoo.com. PLEASE, you can make a difference in these dogs lives!
