In response to people saying the adoption should cost less... that's absurd. They should cost more and you should be willing to donate 2x that yearly if you actually care about the animals. The shelters and county programs are doing their best with a fuxck ton of volunteers and private donations. In all actuality they are losing money on their adoptions. They are doing their best FFS! What's an extra 20-40 dollars for a best friend that's going to love you all their lifetime.

Questions & Answers

Who are you people talking about? I have visited for months looking for my lost dog. And found him. Years later I adopted a pup. They have always been helpful and extremely busy. The problem remains irresponsible people breeding and abandoning dogs!

We are battling a pit bull from our neighbors they allow him to run loos, I am disabled and receive delivered food and prescriptions I am afraid to go to the porch. They delivered meals to me yesterday and he came on my porch drug them out into the yard and destroyed them.... I've had it with this dog. This is strike 3 for him he almost attacked my daughter from behind too......

Why does this place make up reason to kill these poor animals? And why do the staff always act so rude and inconsiderate to both the animals and the people combing to adopt?

The Arc is very clean and the people are very polite and caringi t's not the people working there that are the problem , the problem is all the backyard breeders especially of pitbulls presently, I've also in my lifetime seen it be chows , German shepherds andvDoberman Pinschers that were over bred and along with backyardvbreeding comes dogs that are inbred and have mental and physical issues. I wish a law would go into effect that unless you're breeding pedigree and or registered dogs for the standard of the breed that you are fine and or jailed and it's nothing against the mixed breed dogs out there I think they're the sweetest thing in the world but as long as dogs are being killed in the shelter there should be a law against the breeding

I hear dogs barking all day from a house down the street. obviously they are out in this horrible weather. Is there someone I should call to report this to or should I just mind my own business?

Christine Nolden | Oct 27, 2018
Terrie Tackett | Oct 27, 2018

Goddard's Law, House Bill 60 was passed in April 2017. It is now a felony to neglect, abuse dogs in Ohio. You can call the Montgomery County police for a welfare check on the dogs. Montgomery County also has Tethering Laws. Look them up under City Ordinances. You can also file a complaint with the Humane Society in Dayton. You can file complaints anonymously. If you think a animal is being neglected, abused, or is in danger, complain, and keep complaining.

Where's the cats

Teresa Nelson | Jan 29, 2022
Sheila Samuels | Jan 29, 2022

I don't know if this facility contains cats. We only saw about fifteen dogs waiting for adoption. Two of the kennels has green adopted tags on them with one of the new parents being briefed in the lobby. You might want to try PetSmart on Troy Pike in Huber Heights. They always have cats for adoption when we go to purchase our dogs food, toys, and snacks.

I own a Rottweiler he has been mine since he was 3 months he has got old on me he is 8ams have took him to the vet many times now is very cranky my vet said he has arthritis he has snapped on us at home i no longer can care for him what can I do

I can imagine it must hurt you to see your baby in pain and not enjoying life as he once did, not to mention that he can no longer love on you. Consider letting him go to doggie heaven. God Bless You

Am not sure. We bought ours in Lebanon and it was reasonable. I believe it was $65 which included them fixing the dog. You can go check it out and if you don't find what you want you can go to Lebanon like we did. The place in Lebanon is 22,000 square feet so we had ample room to find the dog we wanted.

If the dog has bitten anyone within 14 days, it's remains will have to be sent to the county to do rabies testing. This is a state law. If you wait the 14 days, it is your animal and your decision. There are many trainers and behaviorists in the community that may be able to help. Consider exploring options before euthanasia.

You have to go to ARC to see them to adopt and also do meet and greets etc. You cant just walk in and walk out with a new pet. When you adopt you do a meet and greet, then they have to be spayed or neutered which can also take a week. It's a process to make sure neglected and abused animals go to a good home.

If you go to the ARC or the Humane Society, you'll be asked to fill out paperwork and they will either approve or deny your application. If approved, they will help you decide the best dog for your situation. Don't be discouraged if they deny you at first. They just want to make sure that the animals go to forever homes and not come back repeatedly. Also, there will be a fee involved. Im not sure how much for a dog. Their website has more information.
