My name is [CRITICAL] Preston!

We have entered a partnership with Franklin County Dog Shelter to help reduce their euthanization rates. Preston is one of those dogs in need who will be running out of time soon. Please understand we do our best to keep these posts updated. If you have any questions, please reach out. For more information on these kinds of posts, please scroll down to the bottom.

Out-Of-State adoption available - Coming Back Home Rescue provides transportation for approved adopters.

Critical = Dogs most likely to be posted for euth next.
Urgent = Dogs who may have more time before being posted.

Next round of dogs posted for euthanization at FCDS begins 12/27. His final day of life has NOT been scheduled YET but has been placed on their Urgent List. A date will be scheduled within a week at the earliest or by the end of the month at the latest. Time is still of the essence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our job is to post dogs in need from partnered shelters, vet potential homes, pull dogs from the Franklin County Dog to get them off death row and transport them to their forever homes. This is the process we have been using for over 3 years and do our best to assist potential homes. However, it is not a process for everyone. If you are interested in meeting Gilbert, please visit the Franklin County Dog Shelter in Columbus, OH.

For a more traditional process, we have a lot of great dogs available for adoption through Coming Back Home Rescue. All of our dogs through Coming Back Home Rescue are eligible for greet and meets, and Foster to Adopt trials.

ALTERNATIVE for TRADITIONAL PROCESS:
Betsy - Staffy/Female/5YO - Trained/Laid-Back
Available Directly through CBHR

Here is what FCDS had to say about Preston;
Bio – Preston is available for rescue due to high FAS concerns. He was picked up and came to the shelter with a healed scar on his back. He can be jumpy for attention and is overall a higher energy dog. On 12/04 he was observed kennel surfing, panting, and pacing so he was started on anxiolytics. He was able to be moved to a real life room as well which seems to have helped a little with his high FAS level.

He spent some time in an office with staff on 12/24. He really enjoyed playing with toys (tennis balls and stuffed squeaky toys) but did need monitored and they had to be taken away because he was chewing on them. When out for a walk Preston was jumpy for attention and tried grabbing the leash several times but was very easy to redirect.

He was tested with a female dog on 11/13. Preston was amped, heavily pulling, tense body, and slightly piloerect. He was muzzled prior to being allowed in the yard. He was pushy but didn’t show any aggression. He was tested with another female dog on 11/16. He showed the same behaviors as before and we had him muzzled like before as well. The muzzle was removed and he was kept on leash. Preston sniffed the other dog and kept licking her back end.

CBHR Feedback;
- This dog is suffering from kennel syndrome which is the mental decline of a dog in a particular environment. Once the dog is removed from the environment, dogs often make a 180 in their behaviors for the better.
- Homes must provide slow introductions for other animals. Preston may not be well socialized to other animals and doesn't know how to introduce himself.
- Preston will need basic training.
