About this shelter

Francis Kennels Rescue in Xenia, OH

Our organization was founded in 2001 when we established a boarding kennel. Throughout the years, we have occasionally assisted in rehoming dogs, but it was not a consistent effort. This year, I felt a strong desire to expand our initiatives, and as a result, our efforts have gained significant momentum. Since February, we have successfully adopted out over 20 dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages. This work brings me immense joy and fulfillment, and I am committed to continuing rescue efforts indefinitely.

Adopting from Francis Kennels Rescue

Adoption process

All adoptable pets are listed on our website under the "Rescue" tab, as well as on Petfinder, Adopt a Pet, and RescueMe. Interested individuals can complete an online application. Upon receiving the application, we will verify the applicant's veterinary reference. If the applicant is a renter, we will also confirm their landlord information. If these checks are satisfactory, we will conduct a home visit to assess the interaction between the applicant and the pet, as well as how the pet adjusts to the home environment. If everything proceeds positively, the applicant will be required to pay the adoption fee, which is $200 for puppies and $175 for adult pets. All pets are spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, vaccinated, microchipped, socialized, and have begun initial training.

Service area
We serve Greene County and all surrounding areas, and we have also successfully adopted pets to families in neighboring states.
