The Licking County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is dedicated to finding loving homes for dogs in need. We are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for every animal that comes through our doors.
Beyond providing temporary shelter, our mission includes promoting responsible pet ownership through active education and community outreach. With the generous support of our neighbors, we make a tangible difference in the lives of the dogs in our care every single day.
Our facility serves as a central hub for dog care and adoption, operating with a team led by Chief Larry Williams and Assistant Chief Jeremy Grant. We provide a structured, caring environment where dogs can wait comfortably until they find their perfect matches.
We believe that every adoption is the start of a wonderful, joyful partnership. By choosing to adopt rather than shop, you play a vital role in our mission to ensure that every dog in Licking County receives the loving, permanent home they deserve.
We invite you to browse our current adoptable dogs online or visit our facility to meet our residents in person. You can also support our work by exploring our volunteer opportunities or learning more about our licensing programs. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend.
