Toledo, Ohio – Lucas County Canine Care & Control (LC4) is highlighting its longest‑stay resident, Troll, a goofy, wiggly one‑year‑old dog who has been waiting for a family for more than 100 days. Staff say his pointy ears earned him the name, and they still perk up whenever his name is called.
What makes Troll special
Troll is described as energetic, playful and “always in your bubble,” a phrase staff use to convey his love of cuddles and close companionship. He gets along well with both people and other dogs, though his enthusiasm can be a little forward, so a playful, patient companion is recommended.
Adoption details
There is no adoption fee for Troll; the only cost to prospective owners is a $25 dog license required by the state. Residents of Lucas and Wood counties may also explore a foster‑to‑adopt trial, allowing them to spend time with Troll before making a permanent commitment.
How to meet Troll
Anyone interested in meeting Troll can contact Lucas County Canine Care & Control during regular business hours. The shelter encourages potential adopters to visit, interact with Troll, and see firsthand the joy he brings to anyone willing to give him a forever home.
Community support
Community Critters, a segment of 13 Action News hosted by Nia Joseph, regularly showcases local animals awaiting adoption. The segment aims to connect families with pets in need, reinforcing the community’s role in caring for vulnerable animals. Viewers can watch the feature on 13+ or stream it online.
Why adopting matters
Adopting a shelter animal like Troll not only provides a loving home for a dog in need but also supports the broader mission of local animal‑control agencies. Each adoption eases overcrowding, reduces the strain on public resources, and promotes responsible pet ownership within the community.
For more information on adopting Troll or other animals, visit the Lucas County Canine Care & Control website or call their adoption hotline. Giving Troll a permanent home would be a win for both the dog and the families who open their hearts to a loyal companion.
