Story
We adopted Cody from City Dogs of Cleveland in 2024. He is 82lbs. He is house trained and does not need to be crated when left alone. He is good with cats & other animals and children. Does not do well with other male dogs, does ok with females as long as other male are not around. Walks ok on leash with a face harness. Wants to lead the way when using a body harness or a regular collar. Knows basic commands like sit, stay, wait, down, paw. He also loves to cuddle. We are looking for a new home for him due to not having enough time for him since our daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy last summer. We have had more appointments and unknown hospital visits, and missing work hours and having to make up time around everything, which leaves us with alot less time with Cody. He just is not getting enough attention that he needs. We are looking for someone who loves to be outside and has the time to spend with him because he deserves it, he is a good boy who just wants attention & love.

Story
Meet Big Al!! 🐾🧠 (emphasis on BIG… especially the head) Big Al came to us with his buddy Alika after their owner sadly passed away on 3/19/26, and now this lovable linebacker is ready to find a new team—preferably one with a couch he can fully occupy. We think he’s around 3 years old, and let’s just address the obvious: this man has a HEAD. Not just a head… a full-on architectural feature. Scientists are still debating whether it’s filled with brains, snacks, or just pure love—but either way, it arrives in the room about 3 seconds before the rest of him. Big Al is a big, handsome hunk with an even bigger personality. He’s incredibly friendly, seems to be housetrained, and has fully committed to the belief that he is, in fact, a lap dog. (Your lap may disagree. Big Al does not care.) He’s the kind of dog who will: Gently bulldoze into your personal space with affection Rest his giant noggin on you like a weighted blanket Look at you with those sweet eyes like, “This is fine. You didn’t need circulation in your legs anyway.” Despite his impressive head-to-body ratio, Big Al is all heart. He’s been through a big life change and is ready to land somewhere safe, cozy, and full of love. 💙 Big Al is available for adoption—come meet this big-headed legend before someone else claims all that forehead real estate! 📍 Big Al is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov It is an application process. You can request one via email.

Story
Meet Thalia!! 💕 Thalia came in as a stray on 3/18/26, and we think she is about 2 years old. She is an absolutely beautiful girl with a nubby little tail that rarely stops wagging—like her own built-in happiness meter. Now, let’s talk personality: Thalia is what we like to call a “slow thaw.” 🧊➡️💖 She may seem shy and unsure at first, and you might not get her full sparkle right away—but give her a little time, patience, and a steady routine, and you’ll start to see her melt into the sweetest, most loyal companion. Because she is still building confidence, Thalia can be skittish and should be considered a flight risk until she feels safe and settled in her new home. She was a little suspicious of squeaky toys (honestly, fair), but she fully understands the importance of hot dogs and is very motivated by them 🍖👏 Thalia is looking for someone kind and patient who will help her learn that the world isn’t so scary—and in return, she’ll give you those gentle tail wags, quiet affection, and the special bond that only comes from earning a shy dog’s trust. She is available for adoption, so hurry in to meet her! Thalia is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 It is an application process. You can request one via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov

Story
Say hello to the wiggly, snorty piglet that is Iris!????This adorable little spud is packed with personality! She’s a fun-loving, energetic girl who’s always ready to move—whether that’s zooming around the yard, trotting along on a walk, or bouncing right into you for attention.On leash, she does pretty well, but don’t be surprised by all the snorting and sniffing—this girl loves to explore the world through her nose! In the play yard, she’s less about toys and more about doing her own thing… happily cruising around, taking it all in, and checking back in with her person. With other dogs for her play group assessment, she socialized without being too playful or rowdy yet. This sweet pup will run up and happily barrel into you for attention, then melt into hugs, pets, and snuggles like the affectionate sweetheart she is. Iris is playful, goofy, and always on the move, keeping you laughing with her silly antics. She is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 54 lbs.
