Knox County Ohio Dog Shelter
Our Mission
The Knox County Dog Shelter is dedicated to the well-being of every dog in our care while working passionately to find them loving, permanent homes. We believe that every dog deserves a safe and healthy environment as they await their future families.
Serving Our Community
Funded and managed by Knox County, our shelter operates as a vital resource for local animal welfare. We work in close, active cooperation with the Knox County Humane Society to maximize our re-homing efforts and ensure our community's canine companions receive the support they need.
Our Commitment to Care
Our dedicated staff and volunteers focus on maintaining the physical health and happiness of every dog during their stay with us. By providing a structured and professional environment at our Columbus Road facility, we ensure that our residents are well-prepared for their next chapter.
The Adoption Partnership
We believe that adopting a dog is a joyful new beginning for both the pet and the family. Our transparent adoption process—which includes vaccinations, heartworm testing, spay/neuter services, and microchipping—is designed to set you and your new companion up for success. Our team is here to support you throughout the adoption journey, ensuring a clear and positive experience for everyone involved.

We invite you to meet our current residents at our facility in Mount Vernon, open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
