Commissioners accept animal-control report for August after correcting outgoing count

May 12, 2026

The Hocking County animal-control monthly report for August was accepted after a correction to the total outgoing count (corrected from 13 to 12); the report included stray and citation totals and other violation categories.

The full story

Doug Wharton presented the animal-control monthly statements for August. The chair read the figures: 3 strays picked up, 11 strays brought in, 2 owner surrenders, various violations (animal-welfare, cruelty, livestock, dog-tech violations) and a total outgoing count initially stated as 13. A commissioner pointed out the outgoing count should be 12; the chair and commissioner agreed and the board approved the report with that correction.
