Adoptable Pets

Adoptable dogs · Three local shelters

Good dogs, waiting close to home

Every dog on this page is at a local shelter in Chillicothe, Hillsboro or Circleville, and every one of them is waiting on a home. The listings and photos come straight from the shelters’ own pages, and this page is refreshed every morning. When a dog gets adopted, it comes off the list.
