We shelter dogs who have been lost, discarded, abandoned, injured or neglected. We provide compassionate care and veterinary services for all dogs at the shelter. And we cooperate with Animal Friends Humane Society on cruelty, abuse and neglect cases.

Each year we reunite thousands of lost dogs with their owners. For those who are not claimed, we cooperate with all reputable rescue groups and service organizations to place shelter dogs.

We sell dog licenses, which are required by law if you own a dog. Making sure your dog's license is on his collar at all times can help us get him safely home to you sooner.

We find responsible, loving new homes for more than 4,000 dogs each year. On average the shelter has 60-100 dogs and puppies available for adoption daily either here at the shelter or in one of our foster homes. We do everything we can to see that healthy, adoptable dogs have an opportunity to be adopted. All dogs adopted from the shelter are spayed or neutered prior to adoption as part of the shelter's effort to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and puppies in Butler County.The Butler County Dog Shelter is committed to encouraging adoption as an alternative to purchasing a dog or puppy from a pet store. In addition to dogs and puppies from the Butler County shelter, more than 30 different area rescue groups for both cats and dogs participate in the event as part of our cooperative adoption/rescue effort.
