There are many dogs in need of homes in Ross County. Jen Thomas, executive director of the Ross County Humane Society, said the shelter is at capacity for large dogs, and they are even housing many outside at this point.
"In the month of August on the weekends, any dog that we've had for more than 14 days, and we have a lot, or dogs that are 4 years of age or older are $79," said Thomas.
She said the application and screening process remains the same.
Initial forms, as well as pictures of many dogs available for adoption, can be found online at www.rosscountyhumanesociety.org.
The Ross County Humane Society's Animal Shelter is located on Lick Run Road, and it is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
