1. Do you take cats?

No, the Lucas County Canine Care & Control does not accept cats nor do we pick them up. Due to health concerns, we are not permitted to have cats here in our facility. If you have a stray cat, please call one of the animal shelters in the area.

2. What should I do if my dog is missing?

If you have a missing dog, please come to the Canine Care & Control's office to walk through our kennel to see if your dog has been picked up. Due to the volume of dogs picked up and the variety of breeds, our office staff will not be able to tell you if your dog has been impounded. You may be required to show a valid driver’s license or state-issued picture ID in some cases. After-hours, we only respond to police calls, so if your dog were lost in the evening, it may still be at the pound.

3. When does my dog have to have a dog license?

In the State of Ohio, all dogs over three months of age are required to have a dog license.
