Reclaimed

This male Husky type dog was found on SR 15 at Rd A, Putnam/Defiance County line. He has no collar or dog license on. Apparently there were 3 husky type dogs loose in the area but only 1 was caught. If anyone has information on who the owner is, you can message the shelter or comment on the post.

It is hard to believe that Buddy is still looking for a new home. He has already been at the shelter for almost 5 weeks with hardly no interest. Buddy is one of many dogs that are in shelters all over just waiting for a new home...shelters are full, rescues are full and adoptions are down!

Buddy is a handsome fella that is around 3 years old and is possibly a Lab Mix type dog that weighs about 80 lbs. He is very friendly, loves attention, very playful and knows some basic commands. Buddy likes to play rough with other dogs but does seem to get along with them as long as the other dog can tolerate Buddy being overly playful. Buddy just wants to be friends with everyone and sometimes does not know his size.

If interested in checking out Buddy, you can message the shelter, stop by on Thursdays from Noon - 1 pm and Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am or call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment. Adoption fee is only $70 which includes dog license.

Has anyone seen Ruffles? He is around 2 years old and went missing from the area of Rd A and Rd 17 at the Putnam/Henry County line, northeast of Continental. If anyone happens to see Ruffles, you can comment on the post or message the shelter.

Koda is looking for a new home. He is about 2 years old, up to date on vaccines and is already fixed. Koda is friendly, likes attention, very playful and has been good around kids.

BEA IS STILL MISSING AS OF 10-22-26!

Has anyone seen Bea? She went missing from the Leipsic area the other day and has not been seen since. Please see the information below:

**This is not the same dog that is at the dog shelter currently. The dog at the shelter is a male.**

Update as of 8:10 (10/14) we still have NOT found her 🥹
Our sweet Bea (FEMALE) got out tonight, and we cannot find her.
This is Bea’s first time getting out. PLEASE know that Bea is a rescue and is EXTREMELY scared of everything. She is not familiar with her surroundings and is probably absolutely terrified right now.
She will most likely NOT come up to you if you call her or try to approach her. But if she would she does have a collar for a leash. Please do not chase her, as this will only scare her more and cause her to run.
Max got out with her and came right back to the door, but unfortunately, Bea hasn’t found her way home.
If you see her, PLEASE do not chase her! Just let us know where you spotted her and which direction she was heading.
Last seen in Leipsic- lives on Center/7th street

If anyone happens to see Bea, please comment on the post!

Adopted

This is Tiny. He had been running loose for several days before coming to the shelter. No one came looking for him. I do not understand how so many people can just dump a dog and not give a care in the world about what could happen to the dog. The dog could get hit by a vehicle or killed by an individual that thought the dog could be a threat!

Tiny is a Rottweiler type dog that is weighs almost 150 lbs! He is already fixed and does not have a microchip. Tiny is an older dog that does like attention, friendly and might be okay with some other dogs. If interested in checking Tiny out, you can message the shelter, stop by the shelter on Thursdays from Noon - 1 pm and Saturdays from 9 am - 10 am or call (419) 523-8617 to setup an appointment.

There is no adoption fee for Tiny except for $16 for dog license and if the adopter would like to make donation to the shelter.

This male dog was found at Ottawa Party Mart on N. Perry St this morning. He has no collar or dog license on. If anyone has information on who the owner is, you can message the shelter or comment on the post.

10/13/2026

This male Rottweiler type dog was found on SR 65 and Rd H, south of Leipsic on Monday. He had been seen in the area of Rd I near Rd 5 on Friday last week. No one has called to report him missing. It appears that he had a collar on at one time but was found with no collar or dog license on. Since he has been loose since last Friday, hopefully he was not dumped by his owner. He is an older dog that is overweight as well. If anyone has information on who the owner is, you can message the shelter on comment on the post.
