Meet Harlow. She is a 3 year old lab/great dane mix. She is house broken and spayed. Can you give Harlow her 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.

State Route 385, just west of Roundhead, will close July 9 for approximately five days for a culvert replacement. Traffic will be detoured onto state Route 196, state Route 67 and state Route 117 back to state Route 385.
