Serving Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties
Lucas County Canine Care & Control (LC4) will temporarily pause its Community Pet Food Pantry after Sunday, July 20 while employees prepare to relocate to a new shelter on Monroe Street.
The final distribution of food before the temporary break will take place by appointment on Sunday, July 20 from 10 a.m. to noon at 410 S. Erie St. in Toledo. As the move to the new building progresses, LC4 will be working diligently to resume pantry operations as soon as possible with a tentative goal of reopening by October.
“We understand how vital the pet food pantry is to our community members and their beloved pets,” Kaity Ardner, LC4 Care Center Supervisor, said. “While our relocation is necessary to better serve the community and their canines in the long-term, we recognize this may create challenges for some of our clients. We are actively exploring temporary solutions to help bridge the gap and will share updates as soon as they are available.”
To sign up for the July pantry, visit lucascountydogs.com/dog-food-pantry/ or reach out directly to 419-213-2800.
LC4 is also temporarily pausing vaccine clinics until operations are established in the new location.
LC4 is deeply grateful for the community’s patience and understanding during this transition and looks forward to continuing to serve dog caregivers in need from its new location at 1301 Monroe St. in downtown Toledo later this year.
There are also many dogs ready to be adopted at LC4 that are searching for their forever homes. New dogs become available for adoption daily and can be viewed online at www.lucascountydogs.com.
If you already have a dog at home and are thinking about adding another, please be sure to bring your resident dog for a meet and greet. Families with children are also strongly encouraged to bring them along to help choose their new four-legged friend.
LC4 is always accepting donations of treats, dry dog food, canned food, new and gently used towels, blankets, and toys. Monetary donations can be made to Cutie’s Fund to help cover the costs for the medical needs of the dogs who come into the care of LC4.
