Here is Zeus and Brutis's Story

Licking County Animal shelter took in two German Shepherd Dogs in November both males. At that time they were 2 months old and very large happy pups. When they became available one went one way to a home and the other went the other way. Well today the one boy was brought back and the shelter staff called the owners of the brother. They came in brought Zeus with them to see how the brothers who once were very playful with each other they laid and slept together would get along now. For the most part they didn't remember each other but they got along great and they adopted the brother and off they went to be together again. Once Brutis got to his new home he ate 5 lbs of food before doing anything else.Then they went outside and sniffed each other and then started playing running the fenced in yard, The Pettits said it was so cool to watch them play together again. We have Zeus and Brutis Home together.

The Licking County Department of Animal Control is excited to announce its participation in offering a low cost spay/neuter program in Licking County! Click on a link below for detail.

Unfortunately, millions of unwanted puppies and kittens have to be euthanized each year in this country. Because of the tragedy of pet overpopulation, we require all of our adopted pets to be spayed or neutered.

Next door to our shelter is the Humane Society's Adoption Center (740-323-2100) which also has many animals that are in need of a good home. Please stop at both of our shelters if you wish to adopt a companion animal. If you don't see a pet fitting your needs, please check back. We have new animals coming in all of the time.
