ARC is the largest companion animal shelter in the Greater Dayton area.  ARC receives over 7000 dogs per year and over 3500 cats per year. ARC is the dog warden for Montgomery County.  Every county in Ohio is required by state law to have a dog warden.  We handle all the stray dogs for Montgomery County. ARC adopts out over 1800 dogs and cats per year - come see us for your next best friend! A dog that is not wearing his/her license is held 3 days only - make sure your dog has his/her license on! The 2012 Montgomery county dog license fee is $20.00 for altered dogs and $24 for unaltered dogs.  For more dog licensing information, visit the Montgomery County Auditor. We shelter cats from all over the county - if you have lost your cat, make sure to look here, in addition to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and SICSA. We moved into our new shelter in March 2005.  It is a state-of-the-art, 24,000 square foot facility.
