Story
This pet is eligible for the SENIORS ADOPTING SENIORS initiative! Seniors (65+) are permitted to adopt a senior dog (8+) for the reduced fee of $75.00 ABOUT ME… Hey there, I'm Bert! Some say I’ve got the charm of my namesake—Burt Reynolds—minus the mustache but with all the charisma. I may be past my prime to stay on the run from Smokey, but I sure do love a good road trip, a long walk, or just riding shotgun with my favorite human. Life has been a bit of a winding road for me. My mom passed away, and when my dad had to move into a care facility, my world got turned upside down. My caretakers wanted the best for me but couldn’t keep me, so they reached out to CO•PAW. That’s when my amazing foster family stepped in to help me heal and get ready for my next big adventure—finding my forever home. Through it all, I’ve been determined to stay a true gentleman—kind, loyal, and always up for some fun. Whether we’re cruising the open road or relaxing on the couch, I’m just happy to be part of the ride. I AM GREAT WITH... House manners—I know where to do my business: outside. I love long walks or just being your couch pal. I get along well with dogs big and small, and I adore people. My foster dad hasn’t had a chance to introduce me to cats, but I have a feeling we’d get along just fine. He also says I’ve got a heart as big and powerful as a Trans Am’s engine. I AM STILL WORKING ON... Figuring out what’s next. After losing my home, I’m still getting used to change. But I’ve been so lucky to have kind humans looking out for me, and I know my perfect family is just around the bend. I REQUIRE... Daily medication for arthritis.

Story
ABOUT ME… Hi, I’m Basil! I was born in rescue on January 16, 2025, and I’m the very last of my litter still looking for my furever home. I’m a boxer mix (my mama is 49 lbs of classic boxer and happily in her furever home, but dad’s a total mystery!), and I’ve got a big heart packed into my now 24-pound, 3-month-old self. Lately, I’ve been full of puppy energy. I love getting the zoomies and racing around like a little rocket! But don’t worry, I’m still a total cuddlebug and will happily climb right into your lap (yes, I do believe with all my heart and mind that I still fit. What is it cats say? “If I fits, I sits”? That’s so me!). I like hanging out by your feet when you’re cooking and will always be your #1 kitchen helper and taste tester. I’ve started exploring outside more and am very curious about the world, watching movement in the yard and checking out what the neighbors are up to. I adore my toys, I love treats (seriously, I get SO excited!), and I enjoy playing either on my own or with other animals, like my foster siblings. I've even become a bit of a charming opportunist. I recently managed to sneak a treat out of a basket at the vet’s office. I mean, if it’s within reach, isn’t that an open invitation? I’m also an A+ co-pilot. I ride shotgun like a champ, switching between peeking out the window and curling up next to my foster mom for a nap. Total road trip vibes. I’ve been through a couple of returns (my foster mom and everyone who knows me says it’s their loss!), which set me back a little with my potty training, but I’m bouncing back beautifully and diligently on a routine. I surprised everyone by growling when I saw my brother at the vet. Apparently, I didn’t want to share all the pets and love I was soaking up from the staff. I mean, a guy’s got to soak up the spotlight when he gets the chance, right? (Is this MY toxic trait??) I AM GOOD WITH… All people Other dogs Crate time Car rides (excellent travel companion!) I’M WORKING ON… Potty training (doing great on a routine!) Leash training If you're looking for a playful, affectionate pup with a heart of gold, a dash of mischief, and a lot of love to give, I might just be your guy. I can’t wait to meet you! ___ VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense.

**LULU IS AVAILABLE AS A PART OF OUR SENIORS ADOPTING SENIORS INITIATIVE: ~This pet is eligible for our SENIORS ADOPTING SENIORS initiative! Seniors (65+) are permitted to adopt a senior dog (8+) for the reduced adoption fee of $75.00 ABOUT ME… Hi, I’m Lulu! I’m a sweet 7-year-old Beagle/Blue Heeler mix with a heart full of love. Though I recently lost my owner, I’m bravely adjusting to this new chapter with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart. I love being outside — sniffing, exploring, and soaking up the sunshine is my favorite way to spend the day. When the adventures are over, I’m all about snuggles and cozy nights in. I am fully potty trained and have no need with a crate, as I never chew on anything I’m not supposed to! I AM GREAT WITH… Kids! I’m gentle and patient, and I love having little humans to keep me company. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… I’m still figuring out how I feel about some new experiences, so a calm and understanding home would be best while I continue to adjust. I AM STILL WORKING ON… Getting used to new routines. I’ve only ever known life with my previous owner, so I’m learning how to feel comfortable in different environments. I REQUIRE… Lots of outdoor time! A home with a yard or someone who loves taking walks would be a dream come true for me. And, of course, plenty of love, patience, and belly rubs.

Story
ABOUT ME… My name is BooBoo! I am guesstimated to be an approximate 2-year-old yorkie/chihuahua mix. I ended up at the big loud scary county shelter with an unknown history. I was struggling with some fear and anxiety in the shelter setting, so COPAW pulled me outta there. Now I am enjoying the great life of demanding love and affection from the humans whenever I desire. I especially love to be carried around in a sling, so I am always by your side! I AM GREAT WITH… -People, dogs, and cats! -Basic commands! My favorite one is to “sit pretty” for my treats! I AM STILL WORKING ON… -Housebreaking. I am scheduled to be neutered on 4/16/25, but I am admittedly a bit of a marker. ___ VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense.

Story
ABOUT ME… Hiya! I’m Benjamin, but you can call me Benji. I’m a two year old Beagle mix and I’m the happiest dog you will ever meet. My previous elderly owner decided to rehome me because she couldn’t keep up with my energy and I sometimes got out the front door and barked at cars. But my foster dad has been working on teaching me to keep back from the door when he opens it and has been practicing my recall. I’m not perfect at it but I’m learning really fast and I’m very eager to please. I do love running around the yard and playing, so a fenced yard is a must for me. I also enjoy curling up on the couch with you to watch some tv. I’m untested around cats and children. My foster dad can’t speak to the cat part, but thinks with my friendly demeanor I would probably do well with children. I AM GREAT WITH… Going outside to go potty, going into my crate at night or when my foster dad leaves the house. I love everyone after I meet them first. I AM STILL WORKING ON… Leash manners and not running out the door when you open it. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… New/loud noises VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense.

Story
This pet is eligible for the SENIORS ADOPTING SENIORS initiative! Seniors (65+) are permitted to adopt a senior dog (8+) for the reduced fee of $75.00 ABOUT ME… Hi, I’m Perseus—Percy for short! I’m a sweet, easygoing boy who came to CoPAW after my owners lost their jobs and couldn’t keep me. They loved me very much and made sure I had a strong foundation: I’m crate-trained, potty-trained, and leash-trained! I absolutely love relaxing in my crate or cuddling up on a comfy dog bed. As I settle in, I’m spending more time out of my crate and showing off my affectionate side. I’m healthy, full of love, and ready for a fresh start with a family to call my own. I AM GREAT WITH… Other animals, kids, and pretty much everyone I meet! I wag my tail for new friends and love to soak up attention—and a good nap. I’m happiest when I can romp in a fenced yard, snuggle up with my people, and then crash into my cozy dog bed for a snooze. I AM STILL WORKING ON… Resisting the urge to pant excitedly in my foster mom’s face! I’m just so happy to be near my people. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… Slippery hardwood floors. My older hips and long nails make them a little challenging, but I’m doing better every day! Rugs or carpeted paths around the house would make me feel extra safe and comfortable.
