Story
Bingo is a sweet little lady that needs a patient owner that understands that dogs are not toys and not all dogs love to be picked up right away. She needs to build trust first--she is very treat and cheese motivated!  We are not sure what happened in Bingo's past but she wants love on her terms and being picked up too quickly can be scary! We are asking for a small-child free home for this reason. Bingo is dog friendly with dogs her size, we are unsure about larger dogs at this time. She is housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash. She gets so excited to see her people when they come home! She still prefers to initiate attention but loves affection once she trusts you. She does not like her face to be touched.   is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.

Story
Laid back and easy going , Callie is a real sweetheart! Callie was brought to a shelter as a stray before COALDR was able to pull her and get her with a foster. She’s estimated to be about 10 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped & on preventative. She also had a dental recently. Callie is also completely blind but she quickly orients herself to her surroundings and navigates the house as well as her foster siblings. Callie is very food motivated. Foster mom finds it easier to feed her separately so she doesn’t try to eat every one else’s dinner too and given the chance she will get into the garbage or anything left within reach Callie is mostly housebroken if taken out frequently. She is excellent about standing still for her harness and walks beautifully on leash. She will use pee pads in the house but occasionally “marks”…hopefully this will resolve itself now that she’s been spayed She may be classified as a “senior” but she has a youthful, playful spirit and enjoys her squeaky toys Callie is located in Wheelersburg, Ohio All around Callie is a great pup! Would you like to make Callie part of your family? Please apply for her at www.coaldr.org.
