Story
Rocky is a 4 year old cane Corso shar per mix. He has been with us since he was a puppy. He is house trained and ok on the leash. He is in a house with 2 cats and gets along great and has been around other dogs in homes as well ( we had a sitter when we were on vacations). Recently he has been getting aggressive with our young kids. We no longer feel comfortable with him around the kids with his growing and nipping at them.

Story
Say hello to Marco! Marco is a male Pointer/hound mix that weighs around 55 pounds and is approximately 1 year old. Marco was found in the Metroparks with adoptable dog Polo and both were brought to the shelter. No one claimed him. Marco was very dirty, thin, and not in the best of health. After a few weeks at the shelter with some good food and TLC, Marco is coming out of his shell. He is shy but full of love. He would benefit from having a patient adopter willing to help him build his confidence. We do believe Marco is dog friendly. As always, a meet and greet with any resident dog is required to make sure everyone gets along. Marco will need help with leash manners because he can pull a little on leash. He has a medium energy level. Once in a home and after his body begins to heal, we believe that Marco will turn into a different more confident dog. Continued socialization will be essential for Marco. Marco will do anything for food so training and socialization should be a breeze. Marco absolutely loves his time with the volunteers even if it is just sitting on a park bench. Compatibility with children and felines is unknown. He is available for our foster to adopt program which means you can foster him in your home until he finishes vetting which includes updated vaccines, neuter, microchip, and heartworm testing. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an adoption application online to meet Marco. Marco’s adoption fee is $160.

Story
Join us in welcoming stunning Cyrus. Cyrus is a male Lab/Doberman mix that weighs 88 pounds. He is 1 ½ years old. His DOB is November 2023. This young man came to us as an owner surrender when his owners moved. While at the shelter, Cyrus has been one very good boy. He walks well on leash. He can pull but for the most part, he walks right next to you. He has a wonderful happy and friendly personality. He has an innocent curiosity of life and everything in it. The previous owner reports that Cyrus is housetrained. He has kept his kennel clean at the shelter. When left alone in the home, Cyrus respects all property and is not destructive. He grew up with two other large breed dogs and did well. As always, a meet and greet with your resident dog is required. Cyrus has not been around any cats. He is good with children. We are asking for older children just because of his size. He loves to play outside and go on walks. He enjoys car rides. He knows the following commands of “sit, stay, and paw.” Cyrus would be a great addition to any family. Cyrus is available for our foster to adopt program which means you can foster him in your home until he finishes vetting which includes updated vaccines, microchip and heartworm testing. He is already neutered. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an adoption application online to meet Cyrus. Cyrus’s adoption fee is $160.
