Lucas County Canine Care and 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 South Erie Street, Toledo. As the move to the new building progresses, LC4 will be working diligently to resume 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 longterm, 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 lucascounty dogs.com/dog-food-pantry/ or call 419-213-2800.
LC4 also is temporarily pausing vaccine clinics until operations are established in the new location.
LC4 is 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 Street, in downtown Toledo, later this year.
There also are 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 lucascountydogs. com. If you already have a dog at home, be sure to bring your resident dog for a meet and greet. Families with children also are strongly encouraged to bring them along to help choose their new fourlegged 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 at LC4.
