The Clark County Dog Shelter will be closed to the public until Saturday due to staff issues, according to a post on the county’s Facebook page.

The dog shelter, at 5201 Urbana Rd. in Springfield, will be open from noon to 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday by appointment only due to limited staffing, the post said. Redemptions and adoptions will be done by appointment only as soon as staff is available.

This is the second time in the last two months the shelter has had to close temporarily or limit hours due to staffing issues. The shelter was previously closed from the end of January until the first of February.

“No walk-ins will be permitted to enter the facility,” the post said. “The shelter will re-open during normal business hours on Monday, March 29.”

Dogs currently housed at the shelter will be cared for by available staff during the closure. For more information or to schedule an appointment at the shelter, residents can call 937-521-21240.
