In need of someone to adopt our dog Ronan he is a pitbull black lab mix. He is 6 years old and isn’t neutered. The good is he a sweet loveable dog that does good with other dogs the bad is he isn’t good well with only female authority, he needs a male around, and doesn’t do good with kids or cats either, so he would be perfect for a single guy. We just want him to go to a good home and to someone who will love him we can provide his kennel, collar and food bowls.

Mt. Gilead, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bo will need a home that is super patient and willing to give him time to decompress.  You will also have to come to the shelter more than once to visit with him. He is fine with our staff but takes time to warm up to ALL new people.  He reacts ok to some dogs but MUST meet and new housemates.  He was in a home prior to coming here, for a short time, and they said he would growl at their children from time to time (which is why they brought him to us).  So we suggest NO children.   Anyone interested in meeting him MUST come to the shelter and complete an application if you decide you would like to be considered.   ***better photos will be posted soon Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747October 15, 2024, 4:28 pm

Flash

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, Adult
Mt. Gilead, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Flash is a 1 yr old Pitbull/Boxer mix.  He is fearful and concerned over new people so patience is necessary with him. We suspect this may be a reaction to being abandoned. He was removed from a property after being left alone for several days.  He is playful and loves snacks.  He will walk ok on leash but does pull some.  Flash is young and will need some basic obedience but he does already know some commands. As part of the adoption process we require all dogs to meet your current dogs before adoption is approved. Anyone interested should stop in to meet him and complete an application if interested. Here is Flash's TikTok link: https://www.tiktok.com/@caninemoon/video/7233976371901451563?lang=en   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747October 15, 2024, 4:28 pm
