Rescue, rescue, and rescue again!! The Holmes County Dog Warden’s Department is proud to help both dogs and people find each other through on site adoptions at the shelter. We see a variety of breeds and interesting dogs that come through our small rural shelter.
Foster to Adopt
The Holmes County Dog Warden’s Department does offer a foster to adopt program as well. This program is in some ways like a trial run. There is no commitment on your part. Ask our staff if this is something that you would be interested in. Fosters must be within Holmes County or surrounding areas.
Seniors for Seniors Program:
Any person 65 years of age or older can adopt a senior dog (8 years or older) at just the cost of a license which is $17.00.
Sponsored Kennel:
On many occasions the Holmes County Dog Warden’s Department will have community businesses or citizens sponsor an adoption fee.
How it works:
If or when you see a dog that interest you please fill out an adoption application online or in person. Adoptions are a first come first serve to approved applicants. We do not do holds on dogs or allow people to pay up front.
At the time of the adoption adopters will have to sign a liability contract and general contract stating they agree to care for the dog in a humane manner. They will also agree to license the dog and make sure to abide by state confinement laws.
