Story
Penny is a wonderful dog! She is very active! We are rehoming her because she is not getting along with our cat. We fear our home is making her too anxious and is putting our cat at risk. Penny needs walked at least twice a day and does best with additional mental and physical exercise! Like most herding dogs, she wants a job! And in our house she has decided her job is to keep the cats in line and play fetch. Has never had an accident in the house. Very food motivated so very trainable. Good on leash, but leash reactive to some dogs. Does not really care for other dogs off leash, but not agressive. Shy and anxious, especially towards men. Takes several meetings before warming up to new people in her home. Great manners, does not jump up on people or lick faces. She doesn't really like being on the furniture unless you ask her to cuddle with you. She will cuddle for a bit, but then wants her space. Best to go to a home without kids over 6 since they would understand her boundaries.

Meet Sage Age: 9 months (Young Adult)Weight: 40 lbs (Expected Adult Size: Medium, 25-50 lbs)Breed: Border Collie MixEnergy Level: Medium Dog-Friendly: Yes, can live with other dogs or be an only dogCat-Friendly: UnknownKid-Friendly: Yes, but best with kids 8 years or olderApartment Friendly: YesFence Requirements: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exerciseCrate Trained: Sleeps outside of the crate but can be crated when left alonePotty Trained: Yes Ideal Home / AdopterSage would love an active family since he’s still a young dog with energy to burn. After a good play session, he’s happy to curl up for a cuddle and nap. A home with a fenced yard for rounds of fetch would be perfect. LikesSage enjoys playing fetch and tug with his toys and thrives on interactive play. He loves roughhousing with other dogs, so an active dog sibling would likely be a great match. His favorite treats include peanut butter kongs and deli turkey. When it’s time to rest, he’s happy to snuggle up in your bed or sleep on a dog bed in your room. DislikesSage is still learning that young kids aren’t his puppy playmates, so he can be a bit mouthy when trying to initiate play. He’s also unsure about going up or down stairs and may need a little help until he gains confidence. Sage has the most incredible webbed front paws that make him special. He may love to swim one day! He also leans right in for a hug when offered and can have a very calming presence about him. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved. ##2288048##

Meet Hannah, a sweet and gentle 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is ready to find her forever home. Hannahs journey has not been an easy one; she was abandoned and has raised two litters of puppies, all of whom have found their homes. Now, its her turn to be cherished!Hannahs personality shines in quiet and meaningful ways. While she may be a bit timid at first, her trust blooms with patience and kindness. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys affection and companionship but also values her moments of independence. Hannahs calm demeanor and gentle heart make her a perfect match for someone who understands and appreciates her need for both love and space. She would do best with another dog to help her maintain her confidence.Hannah prefers a home with a fenced yard because she is still not very comfortable walking on leash away from her home.Hannah is waiting to meet the special person or family who will give her the security and love she truly deserves. Could that be you?Apply to meet Hannah at ricopetrecovery.org!Fostering or foster-to-adopt are both options and we can provide a crate, baby gates, harnesses, and leashes to help accommodate Hannah in your home.

Story
Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

ValentinaFemaleD.O.B. 11/1/2024Expected Full Grown Weight: 24 lbsBreed: Australian Shepherd Mix Hi there! I’m Valentina! I’m a sweet, snuggly, playful little pup looking for my forever home! I get along great with other dogs, cats, and kids, and I absolutely love to cuddle—whether it’s with my foster sister, my humans, or just lounging around after a good play session. I had a rough start in life, but you’d never know it now! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but if you offer me a treat (or just some love and patience), I’ll warm up in no time. Once I know you’re my friend, I’m all about the snuggles, belly rubs, and fun! Right now, I’m working on my crate training and potty training—getting better every day! My routine is pretty simple: eat, play, nap, repeat. I do have a little food insecurity from my past, so I need a good, predictable feeding schedule and should be fed separately from other pets and little ones—just to help me feel safe and secure. As I continue to grow and settle in, expect my playful and energetic side to shine even more! I’m a girl who will be your best friend, cuddle buddy, and number one fan—ready to bring lots of love and tail wags into your life. Think we’d make the perfect match? I’d love to meet you! If you are interested in meeting Valentina, apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $395 Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2296726##
