Icon dog of the week - Joey

Meet Joey. Joey is an 8 year old boxer. Joey is available now. Can you offer Joey 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.

Thanks to you, Ada is a great place to call home

This is a series of 2017 Icon photos of Ada leaders, both in the community and university. Ada is a fortunate village to have a good relationship, at least at the present time, between the town and gown – people working together for the good of all.

This is not an exhaustive photo essay of all Ada leaders, but merely some of the movers and shakers in this town caught by the Ada Icon camera in the past year.
