The Marion County Dog Pound is under the control of the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff is committed to serving the community by protecting the health, safety and welfare of animals. MCSO’s Dog Wardens are primarily focused on domestic animal issues and the enforcement of dog laws. In their role as Dog Warden, deputies respond to calls for dog abuse, aggressive or vicious dogs, abandonment or neglect, as well as dogs running at large or any other violation of dog laws. It is required by law to hold a dog for 3 days to allow the owner to claim it. If it’s not claimed, it will then be an adoptable dog. We will post all adoptable dogs on our Facebook page along with pictures. The adoption fee is $123.00 which includes the price of tags, spay and neuter surgery and the Bordatello, Rabies and Distemper Parvo Vaccines. If the adopter is over the age of 60, the adoption portion of the fee is waived (dog tag and vet care fees still apply).
