👏👏👏 thank you, Lucas County!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who adopted during our Empty the Shelters event and to the incredible support of the Bissell Pet Foundation!

Because of this partnership and our amazing adopters, 37 dogs found loving homes during this event. Watching so many deserving dogs leave for new beginnings is what it’s all about, and we couldn’t have done it without our community.

Thank you for choosing adoption and supporting shelter pets. ❤️🐾

During Public Service Recognition Week, we are celebrating the work of thousands of Lucas County employees who dedicate their time to serving this community and providing for our residents.

Our public servants go above and beyond every day, rise to every occasion, and often go without thanks while doing so.

Thank you for all you do for Lucas County. Your tireless efforts contribute to a healthy, growing County, where everyone is proud to live, work, play, and retire in.
