Who We Are

Friends of the Pound is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to coordinate community outreach, marketing, rescuing and fund-raising efforts for the puppies and dogs being held in the Stark County Dog Pound. We operate in cooperation with the Stark County Dog Warden’s staff to enhance the quality of life for the homeless puppies and dogs and to increase their opportunities for placement through adoptions or rescue groups.

The mission of Friends of the Pound is to work diligently toward seeing every homeless puppy and dog being held in the Stark County Pound, adopted into a loving forever home. The public is encouraged to visit the Pound to view the dogs that are currently available for adoption.
