Icon dog of the week - Roscoe

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, June 26, 2017

Meet Roscoe Roscoe is a 7-year-old male lab mix. He weighs 104 pounds. Can you provide a forever home for Roscoe? 

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.
