Story
Darrell may not be the most handsome dog around, but what he lacks in appearances, he more than makes up for with emotional intelligence. Darrell is one of the best cuddle buddies you could ever ask for, and is very in-sync with "his people". Because of his eagerness to please, he's easy to train and LOVES learning new tricks. Darrell has been working extra hard with our behavior team lately, and especially enjoys his fieldtrips to nearby parks where he can practice his basic obedience skills in public. Darrell has been with SICSA for over a year and has won the hearts of staff and volunteers, but we know it's about time for this boy to find a home of his own! SICSA will be with you every step of the way to support our goldfish-faced goober's adjustment to a new home -- all you have to do is reach out to learn more! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm. To schedule an appointment, you can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.

Story
50.4% Treeing Walker Coonhound + 49.6% Australian Shepherd = 100% GOOD BOY...who else could we be describing but the one, the only, Timber! When Timber first came to SICSA back in January of 2022, he was a rude and rowdy young lad with no training and zero socialization with other animals. Fast-forward to a year and a half later, and you would hardly recognize him as the same dog! Timber has been working his tail off (pun intended) with our behavior team; he now knows some basic commands and has started making friends with other dogs! Timber loves puzzle toys, scent work, and exploring the great outdoors with his human and canine friends. If you're looking for an active companion to join your family, you might belong on #TeamTimber! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm. To schedule an appointment, you can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.

Hi! I'm Cora! Aside from ROCKING a hot pink leash and collar, I'm also a pro at basic commands, leash walks, car rides, and competitive snuggling. I've done well with other dogs (as long as they don't try to take my toys away!) and would especially love a quiet home, preferably with a Netflix or Hulu subscription and a nice comfy couch! You bring the snacks. I'll bring the love! ;) This pet is currently hanging out in a foster home and is available to meet by appointment only. To learn more about Cora and to schedule an appointment, please call SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center during our open hours at 937-294-6505. We are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm.

He's a low-maintenance, calm companion looking for a quiet home where he can relax peacefully. This pet is available through SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center, located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, OH 45458. We are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm-7pm.

Story
We'd like to tell you that Karen is here to defy the "Karen" stereotypes . . . but we'd be lying. Karen is sassy, vocal, and absolutely MUST be the center of attention. In her free time, she enjoys sunbathing, listening to smooth jazz, and criticizing all the other dogs around her. (Did you SEE the bandana Timber was wearing? Totes clashed with his harness.) Karen also loves calm walks in the park . . . and by that we mean she likes to be carted around in a stroller. Walking is for peasants, and Karen is special. If you are also special and are looking for a smaller, calm dog to treat like a queen, Karen just may be the gal for you! Karen is currently hanging out in a foster home and is available to meet by appointment only. (Like we said, she's SPECIAL, but she'll pencil you in!) Please call SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center to schedule an appointment. You can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.
