Icon dog of the week - Puff

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Meet Puff. Puff is an old male chow mix. He weighs 50 pounds. Puff is available now for adoption. Can you give Puff his forever home?

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.

Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
