View Adoptable Pets
Our adoptable animals are posted to our Facebook page timeline, Coshocton County Animal Shelter & HATA.
We are a dog pound and open intake cat shelter, accepting animals from many backgrounds, histories, and circumstances. The stray dogs who enter, often go home to their rightful owner.
When we have assessed a dog or puppy, cat or kitten for adoptable status, we fully vet our animals prior to making them available to you. They’re posted to our Facebook page, with a link to the adoption application.
A meet and greet appointment is scheduled with an approved applicant, once veterinary care is complete, then they go home. Your resident dogs and children, family members living in your home, encouraged to meet all of our pets prior to finalization of adoption.

Why so many rescue/transferred pets?
…Because funding is limited.
…Because our space varies every day, week as an open intake shelter.
Rescue/Transfer networks save lives!
We utilize rescue & transferring routinely for litters, owner surrenders, and medical cases that overwhelm our small budget and small, high intake, animal shelter. We also prefer our pets in foster care, especially those who struggle in the shelter environment. The summer and spring months require this space related movement even more so, when our volume is 40-120+ animals and intakes each week during our busy season. You can inquire at any rescue or partnering facility we partner with to adopt from there, and are encouraged to support our wonderful network!
Local Adoption Partnerships
Coshocton Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Christy and team assist us with many adoptions and meet & greets. Clinic coordinator Kelly (voluntarily) provides assistance like photographs as well, to increase adoption rates from our facility! We also partner with the Chatty Cat Cafe, Zanesville where you can adopt alumni from our facility.
Foster Information
If you are interested in fostering, amongst other criteria that will be reviewed, you must be located in Coshocton county. This is due to frequent drop offs at our local veterinary offices and maintenance of supplies needs convenience.
Please complete the above form but in last column, include what you’re interested in fostering (age, type, special needs, seniors).
All food & litter for the foster family are provided at no cost to the foster family.
You must be able to get fosters to and from the veterinarian, flexible schedules best.
We do prefer homes with limited resident pets and children 10+ for the safety and calm of the foster animals or nursing mothers.
Foster needs highest in the spring and summer months.
