The Highland County Board of Commissioners celebrated the official grand opening of the new Highland County Dog Pound facility and location with a ribbon cutting from the Highland County Chamber of Commerce on Friday, April 7.
Owned by the Highland County Board of Commissioners, the Highland County Dog Pound is located at 9480 North Shore Drive in Hillsboro.
The Highland County Dog Pound has moved locations due to an outdated facility. The Highland County Dog Pound offers a shelter for strays and owner-releases for animals from Highland County, lost and found services, facilitation of adoption of dogs, sale of dogs and kennel licenses, and enforcement of all state and county dog laws.
The Highland County Dog Pound would like to thank everyone involved in this project. A video tour of the facility is available on the Highland County Chamber’s Facebook page.
The Highland County Dog Pound is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon. Call (937) 393-8191 for more information.
