Will you be my forever friend? So how am I suppose to play fetch and shake your hand when I'm in here and you're out there. Will you spring me?

"Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has
to choose a relative." — Mordecai Siegal

During our long days at the Pound, we dream of our forever home and those who would love us. Thank you Friends of the Pound

What I learned
from my dog:

When loved ones come home,
always run to greet them.

Adoption Saves Lives!

These dogs are behind bars, but they've committed no crime. They simply could not depend on their former two legged guardians to provide them with the safety and care they deserve.

Friends of Stark Pound encourages the public to visit the pound to view the dogs that are currently available for adoption. For your convenience Friends of the Pound posts photos and limited information about the dogs on the petfinder.com website.

Friends of the Pound is here to help Because of the abundance of irresponsible pet ownership within Stark County, most of the adoptable dogs at the Stark County Dog Pound are strays without individual histories of health, lifestyle or behavior. Before visiting the Pound to adopt a pet, please read the Dog Warden's Rules of the Pound, which are located to the right.

The homeless dogs may be adopted 72–hours after their arrival at the Pound. By choosing to adopt a dog from the Stark County Pound you are saving a life and gaining a grateful companion.

NOTICE

For the most part, dogs at the Pound are strays, so we cannot make any health claims or behavior assurances concerning our dogs.

POUND RULES

Dog Warden's Rules of the Pound, please read.

Call Us First

If you are viewing the dogs online, it is best to note the cage number of the dog you're interested in, call the Stark County Dog Warden's Office, and ask if the dog is still available before you make a trip to the Pound.
