Friends of the Morrow County Dog Shelter

Helping dogs get safe, healed, and rehomed.

Donate

Thanks to community support, we’re able to help the dogs who need us most—those waiting in our shelter for a new start.

Our mission

At Friends of the Morrow County Dog Shelter, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of the dogs in our county shelter. Through fundraising, advocacy, and volunteer support, we help provide enrichment, medical care, promote adoption, and ensure every dog has a better chance at a brighter future. Whether you’re here to donate, volunteer or simply learn more — welcome. You’re part of the change.
