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. 419-946-1747January 4, 2025, 10:30 am

Mae is a 2-3 yr old Bully/Pug/Beagle mix.  She is just over 60 lbs.  Mae is good with most male dogs but can be selective with female dogs.  She is social, fun, loves toys, and going for walks.  Mae arrived as a stray so we do not have any previous history for her. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for heartworm and has been wormed.  Anyone interested in adoption must stop in to meet her and complete an application.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.

Size

Story
Marco is a ball of energy. He is about 1-2 yrs old and about 45 lbs. Marco is selective of his doggu friends but might be able to live with a female dog if properly introduced (he barks and carries on at the site of another dog).  He is messy in his kennel and will need housetrained BUTY in some cases the stress and adrenaline due to the # of dogs and noise can cause them to get over stimulated while in our care.  Marco is playful and likes to go for walks.  He needs s handler that is up for a small challenge because his energy is high and he gets distracted easily.   He is not a bad dog just needs some guidance and training. Anyone interested in him must meet him and complete an application.  Our application is NOT online. He must also meet any dogs that are currently in the home.  Based on his energy and behavior we suspect he is not going to be good with cats (at least not initially) and should be in a home with older children.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747    January 4, 2025, 10:30 am

Story
Velvet is a sweet 1-2 yr old female.  She is good with other dogs and loves to play.  She is ok on leash and the volunteers do walk her when they are available to do so. While she does have an occasional accident in her kennel she can also be clean ---unfortunately we are not here part of each day so sometimes she cannot hold it. Velvet is around 60lbs but could stand to gain a lb or 2---although she is NOT skinny.  Velvet is energetic and will require a home with someone (or a family) that can properly exercise her---and another dog would be good for her too. If you would like to meet Velvet and consider her please stop at the shelter to do so.  Dogs do not leave the same day as meet and greet---we review applications first. Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747      January 4, 2025, 10:54 am

Story
Ivan is about 1 yr old and is ALL puppy.  He will require some obedience training BUT he is very eager to learn and is food/treat motivated.  He does know the 'sit' command and will do so when asked (most of the time).  He loves toys and is very energetic---so he will require regular a home with someone that is prepared to exercise him regularly. He may be partially housetrained however on occasion he does have accidents here.  Ivan has been tested with another dog, Isacc, whom he lived with prior to coming to the shelter BUT he will need to meet all new potential housemates prior to adoption being approved.  Ivan and Isacc play pretty well together during play group.  If you have interest please stop in during our regular business hours to meet and apply for him. Dogs do not go home the same day as meeting--we review applications first.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747January 4, 2025, 10:30 am

Story
Isacc is a young Pitbull mix.  He may have some great dane/lab or boxer in the mix. He is about 10 months old and will require obedience training. Isacc is about 50 lbs and will likely become more stout as he ages and fills out. He does seem to know the 'sit' command and will do it for a snack.  He is fine with other dogs, BUT will need to meet any new housemate prior to adoption being approved.  His companion, Ivan, whom he lived with prior to the shelter is also here and they play well together. We do not know how he is with children or cats.  Isacc is very energetic and will need a lot of exercise.  He loves to go for walks and does ok on the leash but is a work in progress. Anyone interested in Isacc must stop in during regular business hours to meet him and apply.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747 January 4, 2025, 10:30 am
