Dog warden reports 90 pick-ups, six adoptions and five euthanasias in 2025
Summary
At the Feb. 3 Henry County Commissioners meeting, Marc Ruskey and Kathryn Barndt presented the 2025 dog warden report: 90 dogs picked up, 50 returned to owners, six adoptions and five euthanasias. Commissioners took no further action on animal-control policy.
Marc Ruskey and Kathryn Barndt presented the Henry County dog warden’s 2025 annual update to the Board of Henry County Commissioners on Feb. 3.
"Ninety dogs were picked up, with 50 returned to owners. There were six adoptions and five euthanasias," Ruskey and Barndt reported in their summary of intake and outcomes for the year. The presenters reviewed the shelter’s year-end statistics and outcomes but did not propose new policies or budget requests during the meeting.
Commissioners recorded the update as part of routine business; no motions or votes related to animal-control operations were taken at the session. The presenters did not provide detailed figures on shelter capacity, intake trends by month, or specific staffing needs in the minutes, and those details were listed as not specified in the record.
The update will remain on file with the county clerk and could inform future service or budget discussions if county staff or commissioners raise follow-up requests.
