My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We’ve had quite the run of Australian Shepherds lately, and here’s another adorable one for you! Peanut is a "mini" Australian Shepherd, weighing in at just 17lbs—she’s tiny! At around 8 years old, based on her teeth, she’s a bit of a seasoned lady, but she’s full of sweetness.
Peanut came to us as a stray, so we don’t know her past, but she’s been nothing but friendly and happy with the staff. She did well in her dog/dog assessment and gets along with other pups. She does seem a bit nervous, but that just means she’ll be the first one to jump right into your lap for some love! ❤️
She’s had some skin issues, likely from flea allergies, and has thinner hair on her back, but with the right care, we’re hopeful she’ll bounce back to her best self. Peanut is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe, secure, and spoiled.
If you're ready to give this sweet mini Aussie a fresh start, come meet her today!RCHS does not conduct DNA tests on dogs who enter our facility therefore we are unable to guarantee breed or breed mix. Information provided by shelter staff, volunteers, and veterinarians is used to give a best estimate as to a dog’s breed make up. We do our best to inform adopters about the potential breeds for each dog.

We are a dog only facility so we do not know how most of our dogs will be with cats. Even if a dog is surrendered to us and said to be good with cats there is no way to be sure the dog will be good with your cats. We do have a 7 day foster-to-adopt program so that you can see how the dog interacts with your cats before adoption.

Additional adoption info

We do require all pets in the home be spayed or neutered at adoption. If not we generally will offer to help get them spayed or neutered or offer spots on our low cost clinic. Pets must be up to date on vaccines and live inside.

Our adoption process starts by filling out an application online at https://rosscountyhumanesociety.org/adoption-application/ or in person at 2308 Lick Run Rd. Chillcothe, OH. We will check vet reference and landlord if applicable. You then watch your email for a response. Next you come into the shelter and meet the dog or dogs you are interested in. From there you can adopt the dog or use our 5 day Foster-to-adopt program (if you live within an hour of Chillicothe).
