- Adopts out dogs and cats to new homes
- Sells dog licenses
- Enforces all state and county dog laws
Dog Licenses & Owner Information
Dog licenses are available online, at the Auditors office and the Miami County Animal Shelter. If you have found a dog wearing a Miami County dog license during business hours please contact the Miami County Animal Shelter 937-332-6919.

WE DO NOT EUTHANIZE AT OUR SHELTER!
Lost & Found
If you are missing a dog, you should call or come into the shelter at least every 3 days. We can scan for a microchip if you have found a dog.
Donations
View a copy of our donation "Wish List" (PDF).
For your convenience, donations can now be made via through Amazon. We are currently in need of replacement fabric for our medium and large dog beds. These items can be ordered and donated directly by going to Kuranda Dog & Cat Beds. Please specify "standard/poly" bed type and "heavy duty vinyl" fabric.
