Meet Prince. Prince is a male Pomeranian mix. He is 7 years old. Prince is a special needs dog. He has a dislocated hip that was never fixed so he cannot put his back leg down. He also had to be shaved due to the condition of his coat.. He is playful and very sweet. He gets around like there is nothing wrong with him. Can you give Prince a 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.
