TV2: Spring weather brings increase in dog adoption from KentWired.com on Vimeo.

With the season spring finally being here, the Portage County Dog Warden annually sees an increase in dog adoption.

“I think there was a day last week maybe Saturday where we adopted 5 dogs on Saturday,” David McIntyre, Portage County Chief Dog Warden said.

Dogs held at the shelter are either lost dogs whose owners nerve came to find them or dogs whose owners didn’t want them anymore.

“We’ve held upwards of 50’s in here in the past. Fortunately, we’ve been doing pretty good number wise,” said McIntyre. “Every year we seem to be declining in the numbers of dogs coming in.”

The warden currently has a variety of dogs up for adoption including lab mix dogs and pit bulls.

The Portage County Dog Warden charges $97 to adopt. The deal includes all shots, heart-worm tests, microchip and a spay and neuter.
