Story
Meet Rocky he is a 3 year old boxer pit bull mix. He is a very sweet boy that I found running loose in Westerville Ohio. Ive had him now for 5 months. The only reason I’m not keeping him is space my financials and I already have 2 dogs. But back to Rocky I believe he was raised with an iron fist. He can be startled by things but is easily assured. He loves bones and toys!! Overall a great dog loves to lay on the couch and prefers sleeping in the bed while touching you, lol. He has learned that talking to him sternly doesn’t mean that he’s gonna get hit or he’s in trouble. It just means he needs to listen and focus and he listens really well. I think he would be great for a young person.That’s just looking to have a companion. I don’t have kids so I say no kids just b/c he doesn’t like to be pulled on,moved/pushed. The truth is he just wants to be loved petted some treats toys and you will make him so happy. I just want the best for him he deserves to know the best life a dog can have.

Story
Gypsys DNA test results are mostly Boxer, Husky, and German Shepherd. She bounces on her front legs when she is excited or wants something (we now know that comes from the Boxer in her). Gypsy is around 5 years of age and weighs around 75 pounds. Gypsy has been with us for 3 years, and we don't know why she has not been adopted yet. She is a very good girl and is the most obedient dog we have ever seen. She knows how to sit and comes when called. She is housetrained and very well behaved in the house. She likes her crate and sleeps in it with the door open. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a vehicle. Gypsy loves her toys, especially squeaky ones, and she loves playing fetch. Gypsy is active - she loves to run and play with toys and other dogs. She loves water and lays in the wading pool when it is hot, and we bet she would love snow. She gets excited about squirrels, cats, and critters on the other side of the fence. Gypsy loves human attention and is good with older children. Gypsy is smart and might benefit from more obedience training from someone firm, patient, and loving. Gypsy is a sweet dog. She gets attached to her human and likes to lay under my desk when I work on the computer. Gypsy must be in the house as a loved family member. She must be walked on a leash and have a yard with a 6' fence to run and play. To emphasize...although Gypsy generally gets along with all dogs (she currently lives in a home with 14 other dogs both large and small and there are no problems), She either needs to be the only dog in the house or only paired with one other large male dog. Gypsy has been with the rescue for 3 years and a change will be scary. She needs an experienced adopter who is patient understanding, and willing to give her the time she needs to get comfortable in a new home. She is a great dog for a single person or couple. Any children should be over 10 years of age. Gypsy spayed, tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Gypsy had a light case of heartworms when we first got her. She is now heartworm-free and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Gypsy is located in Texas but can be transported after she is adopted. Her adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport by a reputable and trusted transport company to several scheduled stops in Ohio - including but not limited to - Columbus, Cincinnati, and Akron OH Please email 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this very good girl.

Story
Yellow Lab/Pitbull/Mix DOB:  Approx.  08/07/23 Goldie Girl is the darling of our program.  She was found wandering down the street in a neighborhood.  She was lost, scared.  Her little tail was tucked between her legs, her little paws were raw from walking and looking for her owners who drove away after removing her collar. Goldie was seen walking up and down the streets for several days...looking, walking, running to each person that she saw until she realized it wasn't who she was looking for.  Finally, a kind neighbor went out to her, and talked to her quietly and told her that everything would be okay.  And she said that Goldie looked at her...really looked at her....and she untucked her tail and she wagged it just a little bit.  For the first few days, Goldie sat by the door, watching and waiting for her owner to return.  It was heartbreaking.  But as time went on, she started to play and follow the other dogs in the home around.  And even though the sadness was still there, in her eyes sometimes and when she saw someone come to the door, we saw her true self start to shine through. Goldie loves other dogs. She is sweet and loves them all.  She is even good with cats.  She is just a sweet girl.  She has learned to "sit", is mastering potty training, and is learning to go into a crate and not be sad.  But most of all, she is a cuddler.  She wants to cuddle all of the time....she wants to be right next to her people...probably so they don't leave her again.  She is learning to be carefree and happy again and she LOVES to play and run and jump.  She is finally feeling happy...and Goldie will make a sweet addition and best friend for someone.  But we ask that if you adopt her and promise to be her person that you promise to be her person forever.  Goldie's heart would be broken if this happens to her again.  So if you can open your home and your heart to Goldie for the rest of her life, please complete an on-line Adoption Application at https://www.jotform.com/form/223107373504044 and meet the best little girl who will make you finally understand what it means to be unconditionally loved!

Story
Connie is quite the underdog. Living chained to a trailer and sleeping in deep mud, Connie produced litter after litter of puppies while never receiving any vet care whatsoever. The family finally agreed to surrender her and her only surviving pup (who was living in a small crate outdoors, and has now been adopted).Connie came to us emaciated and positive for several internal parasites, including heartworm and tick diseases. After several months of vet care, Connie is now heartworm free!!!Everyone at the vet loves Connie and her happy personality. Connie is good with other dogs but often intimidates dogs with her strong personality until they get to know her.Connie is approximately 45 pounds. She does have 'weak knees' which cause her to walk with stiff back legs on occasion. This is managed with oral medication as needed for pain. In general, Connie gets around really well and loves going on leash walks.Connie was on restricted exercise while going through her heartworm treatment and can't wait to run and play again!Apply for Connie at ricopetrecovery.org Her adoption fee is $250.

This beautiful girl is Cocoa. Cocoa is 4 yrs old and has a pure velvet coat. She is very smart and PERFECTLY house trained. She has not had any accidents, has no desire to get on furniture, she is curious, but not at all destructive. She is also a very gentle dog that loves her toys, but does not destroy them. She can sit and give you her paw like a champ. Cocoa would love an active family that would take her for car rides, hikes and runs. She is an athletic girl that excels at ZOOMIES and TWIRLS. Cocoa needs some leash work and would need slow introductions to new dogs. Please consider fostering or fostering to adopt Cocoa so she can continue her great progress! Ricopetrecovery.org/help.

CloveyFemaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 48 lbsBreed: American Bulldog Hi! I’m Clovey. I am a cuddly and active girl who gets along with other dogs as long as we are able to meet with a slow introduction. I have not been around cats or kids to know how I would do around them yet. When I am out of my crate I will go to the door and let you know I need to go out. I am still working on my crate training as I don’t like to be separated from my humans.  My favorite snacks are hot dogs! I love those things. I also know the command “sit” and will come to you when you call for me. I enjoy the Bark Box fuzzy toys. I like to run in the backyard and play with my fur sibling and oh boy do I love to cuddle. I really love being around my humans and am a very loving dog when I am the one getting all of the attention. I cannot wait to find my very own active family who will give me all the love and attention I deserve and who will be patient with me as I continue to learn. If you are interested in meeting sassy and cuddly girl, apply to adopt her at: www.causeforcanines.org. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 5 years old or older.  ##2084245##

Story
Nala is a sweet dog that was rescued from an abusive homeless camp situation. She is approximately two years old spayed, female, up-to-date on shots, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. Her past situation has given her some reactivity to other dogs so a solo dog home or very experienced handler is her ideal situation. She loves all people and kids. She can play a little rough so younger kids would need to be cautious. She loves snuggles, boat rides, car rides, and generally being around her people. Please consider meeting Nala. Her adoption fee will be credited for a trainer to help transition into a new home
