Story
To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit www.almosthomeohio.org and complete our online application! Brys hasn’t been told that at a year and a half he’s not really a puppy any more. He’s having such a blast at his foster mom’s! He loves meeting new dogs because they represent new play opportunities. Brys is hesitant about strangers and observes them before deciding to meet them. For now, it’s better to be calm and let him go to new people when he’s ready, which is typically fairly quickly. Once he does know his person, he’s a true sidekick type of dog. He isn’t demanding and loves nothing more than being with his person. He loves to play (running fast is his favorite activity). He’d be very happy and very good at agility and/or herding activities. Brys needs an outlet for his youthful energy. He sleeps a lot throughout the day but is very active in the morning and late afternoon/evening, so he needs a healthy outlet to burn this energy off. As his foster mom has said, Brys is either totally calm or going at Mach 5. The key to getting him to calm down is to head for the sofa. Let him cuddle while you give belly and chest rubs—he absolutely loves it. A music lover, Brys also chills out to smooth jazz and meditation tunes.   Brys isn’t just gorgeous, he’s smart too. He’s even invented his own “capture the flag” game. Brys’ game involves him getting a toy or shoe and proudly trotting around to show off his catch to his foster mom like he’s just scored a big win. He’s very good at “leaving it” before ever being told. He knows he can’t keep what he’s found. He’s not out to destroy it—he just enjoys the challenge of “capturing” it and the pride of showing it off.    Brys’ foster mom has many more stories she can’t wait to share; or better yet, if you’re looking for a right-hand companion, meet Brys for yourself and see what a fantastic boy he is.  Dont forget to visit our informative website, www.almosthomeohio.org, for valuable information and interesting features.April 7, 2025, 8:53 pm

She is a very smart girl who learns quickly and wants love and attention so badly. She craves being with people and being part of the family. She is a wonderful girl who would be a loyal and loving companion to a loving family! She could take a few puppy classes to be her best self.

Story
To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit www.almosthomeohio.org and complete our online application! Gorgeous Beau is a vivacious puppy. Playtime and walkies are his favorite ways to spend the day. Beau enjoys playing with toys with others and by himself. Beau’s favorite game is playing keep-away with his stuffies and other toys. When he is in the yard, he plays non-stop with the other dogs. He equally loves the company of people and dogs. Beau’s foster mom says he is good with kids once he has settled down after meeting them. He might jump when first meeting them, though. Beau gets along well with dogs and dog-savvy cats. He is curious about cats and likes to chase them and try to play. If a cat raises his paw, he knows to stop trying to play with them and walks away.   Beau is still young and would like someone who enjoys interactive play with their dog and/or taking daily walks. Beau also requests that his forever family get a Kong and fill it with peanut butter for him–it’s one of his most favorite things.   Dont forget to visit our informative website, www.almosthomeohio.org, for valuable information and interesting features.April 2, 2025, 8:22 pm

Story
Major is an adorable Cattle Dog mix who is approximately 1.5 years old and currently weighs 45 pounds. He was found on the side of the road with his two brothers in south Texas near the border of Mexico. The puppies were starving, covered with fleas and ticks and were just in terrible condition. Thankfully a private rescuer was able to help these puppies and get them into our care. Major is happy, playful and very smart boy! He loves everyone he meets and is always ready for adventure! He has the best time playing with his toys and enjoys romping around the play yard with the other dogs in his play group. He loves getting attention and affection will make a very loving companion. Major has fun adventurous personality, which would make for a great hiking, running or agility buddy! Major is located at our rescue in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to Columbus, OH on April 26th. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and his adoption fee is $450.
