Lucas County Canine Care & Control handles stray and homeless dogs and enforces dog laws in Lucas County, which is in northwest Ohio, including the City of Toledo. We have a staff of 32 people, including our Director, the Office Manager, the Kennel Supervisor, the Community Engagement Manager, the Community Outreach Coordinator, six Canine Control Officers, three Front Desk Clerks, two Dispatchers
, the Personalized Adoption Counselor, ten Canine Care Technicians, one Veterinarian, two Veterinary Technicians, one Veterinary Assistant, the Behavior and Enrichment Coordinator, and the Canine Care Attendant. Our department is funded primarily through the purchase of dog licenses. Your dog license purchase not only helps to protect your dog, but also helps us care for homeless and stray dogs, protect the community from loose and dangerous dogs, and help reunite lost dogs and their owners.
