Story
Koa is 2.5 years old and is the typical velcro aussie dog! She will follow you wherever you go and loves to be part of the family! She is great with our toddler and child. We also have another dog that she loves to play with! She would do great with a backyard as she enjoys running and catching frisbies! Koa does have epilepsy so she would do best in a home that can follow a strict medicine routine and is comfortable helping her through her seizures. She is a very loving and calm dog. She is 65lbs but will want to cuddle with you on the couch or bed all day if she could!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Princess is very responsive towards someone who is willing to be kind and patient with her. She already knows fetch, sit and stay but needs additional training to avoid other distractions. She is 2-3 years old but still has a lot of puppy energy. She’s a very smart girl and picks things up quickly though.  Recently a dog got into the yard and attacked her and that has made her a bit dog reactive. She has done ok with the male dog in the home, but is wary of the female. This can likely be worked on but we would advise involving a professional in this process. In the meantime she would need to be the only animal in the home. Despite her history Princess has shown herself to be a loving and loyal companion. She loves to run around at playtime and then snuggle up on the couch with you.

Story
This beautiful girl right here is Copper. Copper is a five year old pup with her puppy energy intact! Copper is very sweet, loyal, loves her food and her humans. Coppers current environment is not the right fit however as she is often left to her own devices. Copper needs to be in a home that can provide her with plenty of exercise and no other pets as she is pretty protective of her territory. A fence is not required but an active household is. She is likely do better in a home with teenage children as her version of run and jump likely won't mesh with younger kids. Copper is truly a sweetheart and loved by everyone she meets. Give her your time, mental and physical exercise and scrumptious food and she will give you kisses, cuddles and all the attention you could ever want!

Arlo

Australian Shepherd American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Canal Winchester, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Arlo was living with an elderly woman in an apartment that was to small and did not have proper access to be able to go outside. Once I got him he did well getting completely potty trained and adjusting to having more space and another dog to play with. As much as he loves to run and play outside, he also love to cuddle and be a lazy boy. He needs someone that can give him firm direction and proper correction. Arlo has a protective nature and would do better in a calm environment with little change. I am unsure how he would do with other dogs besides my other one now. He was previously with a small dog and several cats. He has been boarded several times since I’ve had him and done very well. He is also crate trained and goes in well when using a lead.

Story
Love isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. And Relay has the heart and soul to go the distance by your side! Relay is a fun and happy go lucky guy who takes life in stride. He just doesn't want to hear any jokes about three-legged relay races - he already knows them all! This fun loving tri-pod loves to play with his dog friends here at the shelter and would likely do well in a home with another dog. Relay has a rough and rowdy play style. Meet and greets are recommended for any potential canine siblings to make sure they and Relay would be a good match. If you are looking for a confident adventure buddy, Relay is your boy! He is always up for a game of fetch or tug or to head out on a walk or hike. Relay is an active dog that would do best in an active home to help keep his mind and body busy. Looking for a brewery or restaurant buddy? Relay has been a favorite to take on doggie day outs from the shelter where he loves to hang out on patios and enjoy some good company! When he’s not working on his fitness, Relay loves to snuggle up with his favorite humans and his “emotional support ball”. He’s sweet and snuggly and his heart is as big as his blocky head! So don’t walk – RUN - to meet this sweet handsome and athletic boy today! He’d love to pass the baton to a family of his own to love! If you’re interested in meeting Relay, race now to his adoption application and fill that out to schedule a meet and greet. Please note that meet and greets are by appointment only. Relay is 3 years old and weighs 61 lbs. All of our animals come fully vetted so he is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines and preventatives.
