Clermont County temporarily lowers dog adoption fees and approves foster agreement
Summary
The Board approved a new Foster Agreement for the county dog kennel and adopted a temporary reduction in county-imposed adoption fees for dogs over 12 months (effective May 14–June 30, 2025) to address unusually high kennel population; the transcript does not specify fee amounts.
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners approved a Foster Agreement for the Clermont County Dog Kennel to expand foster placements. Kennel staff (Kierah Swartz) said the foster program will be handled on a case-by-case basis with kennel staff managing placements and volunteers providing support.
To reduce kennel population pressures, the Board adopted Resolution Number 054-25 temporarily lowering county-imposed dog adoption fees for dogs older than 12 months for adoptions occurring between May 14, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The meeting record announces an adoption event at Pet Supplies Plus in Milford during the upcoming weekend with five to six dogs available. The transcript does not specify the reduced fee amount; the article therefore reports the temporary fee reduction but notes the amount was not specified in the meeting record.
Staff emphasized that the foster agreement and fee reduction are intended to alleviate an unusually high number of dogs being housed at the kennel and to encourage adoptions and placements off-site.
