The Ashtabula County Animal Protective League in NE Ohio was built to house 48 dogs. Currently they have about 150 dogs and over 100 cats. Dogs are 3 and 4 to a kennel, and some are being housed outside. There is just nowhere to put them. I know it's bad for everyone right now, but the APL Board of Directors has finally been persuaded that as desperate as they are, they need to let me offer fully vetted animals to rescue for free to approved rescues until things get a little better.
Because of the desperateness of the situation, highly adoptable animals will for now have to go to whoever can get them out the quickest. I usually go by first-come, first-served...whoever asks first has the option of putting a hold on an animal. But for now, we just need to get the animals out as quickly as possible. There are always transport options available, so don't hesitate to ask about *any* animal, even if you are far away.
All animals come fully vetted. This includes spay/neuter, UTD on shots including rabies, heartworm tested, and current on flea and heartworm preventative . For the duration of the free special, we would ask that *if* you are a rescue or shelter that has your own vet and can get the animals spayed/neutered at a low cost that you consider taking unaltered animals. The shelter is still way behind on surgeries, so more than half of the animals at the shelter aren't available for public adoption yet. This puts a strain on the shelter, but does open up the possibility for rescues who can spay/neuter themselves to get first dibs on the most adoptable animals. If an animal's listing says "not yet available" in most cases this just means the animal has not been spayed/neutered yet, but can still go to rescue for free.
This is a shelter that aspires to be no-kill, and truly does have the best interests of the animals at heart. But it is the only animal shelter in the largest county in Ohio, in a very poor, rural area. They have to take in every animal the city and county dog wardens bring them...this can be hundreds of dogs in a month. When numbers get up, as they are now, they have to euthanize if we can't get the animals out. The Board of Directors has decreed that euthanasia for space should start at 80 dogs and 70 cats, so dozens of animals could be killed at any time.

Please note: I've been having serious problems with my gmail addresses. I *always* answer rescue inquiries within 24 hours, even if it's just to say that a dog is no longer available. So if you email me and don't hear back in a day, I didn't get your email. Please also try me at dawn.shimp@hotmail.com (hotmail.com) You can also contact Tina Hayes at for dogs rescues or Jeremiah Sabol at jsabol@wtfwebdesign.com (wtfwebdesign.com) for cat rescues if you're not able to get in touch with me.
Transport help is available!
