About this shelter

Lake County Dog Shelter in Painesville, OH

Lake County Dog Shelter is a dog rescue located in Painesville, Ohio, about 30 miles southwest of Cleveland. Open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, the shelter holds all stray dogs for four business days to give owners a chance to reclaim them before making them available for adoption. Potential adopters are encouraged to research breed traits ahead of time and to bring their children or existing dogs in to meet a prospective new pet before finalizing an adoption. The adoption fee is $80.00 plus a $20.00 registration fee, which covers the dog, a current dog license, initial vaccinations, and a registered microchip.
