Story
Mana is a 6 year-old Shepherd/Pointer mix who weighs 57 lbs. She was surrendered to CHA when her owner could no longer care for her. In her previous home, she lived with cats. Mana is a sweet girl who loves to give hugs and lean into people for cuddles. She is very loyal and wants to always be by her person`s side. She is super intelligent, walks well on leash, and learns new things quickly. Mana can be reactive to other dogs, and will bark at them as she passes. But, she can be redirected with treats and distractions. She has not yet had a successful dog introduction while at CHA, and so we are recommending that she be the only dog in the home. Mana is more than ready to find her family, and she will be a steadfast, loving companion to any person lucky enough to bring her 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.
