Story
We really outdid ourselves with originality in naming Cattle Dog, or “Cattle D” for not much shorter. Cattle Dog has all the energy and big personality you would expect from a Cattle Dog—he will patrol your yard to protect it from both squirrels and ghosts, but when not under attack from these nefarious villains, he loves to play with his friends and loves giving kisses and hugs and getting attention from his people. He’s a fantastic dog and just the best boy. A physically fenced yard is required. Cattle Dog is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
DobbieMaleAge: 2.5 YearsWeight: 48 lbsBreed: Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd MixRequirements: Herding or Working Breed Experience Hi, I’m Dobbie! I am an energetic, cuddly & curious boy, who gets along great with other dogs. I am still learning what a cat is and that they usually don’t want to play with me, but my foster family thinks long term I’ll be a great cat sibling! I am quite excitable so would do best in a home without young kids. I am house & crate trained. I love learning new things and have mastered all the basics like walking on a leash, basic commands (sit, stay, down, come, wait, okay, no) and can even “place. I would love an adopter who can continue learning and growing with me and challenging me to be my best self. Being a young Cattle Dog mix, I will require an active adopter who is experienced with herding or working breeds and will ensure I am getting the mental stimulation & physical exercise I need but also knows when I need some chill time to continue being a happy boy. I would love a fenced in back yard for games of fetch and to chase squirrels, although this is not required.I am a bit unsure of new situations and places which means I will require a patient adopter who is willing to work on socializing me long term. In my free time I love to PLAY, be outdoors, cuddle, and be as close to my humans and fur siblings as physically possible. I also REALLY love to give kisses.  I can’t wait to have an adopter all my own who will provide me all the love and the active lifestyle I deserve! If you are interested in meeting Dobbie, apply to adopt at: www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 10 years old or older. ##1385204##

Story
Harry is so cute and sweet. We just love his big blue eyes and freckle on his nose. He loves to eat and is a bit of a piggy. Overall he is super chill, he doesnt bark or whine much, loves to play with toys or chew on bones and loves to snuggle. He will be fine as a single pet, with plenty of human attention, or will enjoy another pet playmate. He does great with my kids and is super curious about the big dogs in our house. He sleeps through the night without whining in his room (he is not crated at night but gated up in our laundry room). He will make a wonderful family pet. We dont think he has any vision problems, and he definitely has hearing just not sure if its 100%. Here are some photos of sweet beautiful Harry.You can apply to meet him at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $350 and includes neuter, microchip and first 2 vaccines. 3rd and 4th vaccines will be covered by the new owner.

William is quite teeny tiny, definitely the little runt of the litter (about 1/2 the size of his brother) Willy will always need a buddy by his side, he does not do well alone. He loves attention from kids and snuggles as much as possible. Hes not a great eater, but does love to chew on a bone or play with a toy. He also sleeps through the night without whining in his room. Willy will require a special family who is willing to work with him and give him plenty of love and attention. Here are some photos of adorable little WillyYou can apply to meet Willy at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $350 and includes neuter, microchip and first two sets of vaccines.

Story
Silky soft, snuggly, and eager to please all the people he meets. Oakley is willing to trust new people, show his belly, give kisses. Knows 'sit,' 'lie down,' and getting acquainted with 'stay,' 'leave it,' and 'get down. Very interested in other dogs, but willing to be instructed to 'leave it' and carry on walking when we passed yards or houses with barking dogs. Fairly good on a leash. Very energetic, will be a good companion for someone athletic. But also Willing to hang out quietly while I you work on the computer or watched TV; even willing to ignore the nearby cats most of time. Curious about them but not wanting to interact with them. Before considering him as a pet do research on the breed. He is a herding dog and will try to steer you where he thinks you need to go. This will include nipping at your heels and hands if they are by your side. He will be good with older kids that understand his behavior. He is in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.    November 6, 2024, 3:21 pm

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.

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.

Story
ABOUT ME: Hi! My name’s Calvin and I like to think of myself as the life of the party. I was surrendered to COPAW as I was too much for my previous owner to manage (apartment living is not the best environment for an energetic guy like me). I am a happy, social boy once I get to know you and my foster mom says that my tail wags “a million miles a minute.” I love toys, especially bones and anything that I can tear the stuffing out of. I am a little shy at first and will bark at you but once you feed me a few treats, we will be lifelong besties (ask my foster mom!). I love to play with the other dogs in the house. We especially love the game of chase. My mom keeps telling me that with the proper training, I would make a great running companion. My favorite thing though is to curl up with my humans after some fun play time. I AM GREAT WITH: People and other dogs (both big and small). I love my two legged foster brothers. However, due to my energetic nature, I might be too much for really small kids. I know sit and am good at walking on a leash. I am okay with a crate and am used to sleeping in it. I am very proud to tell everyone, I am completely potty trained! Yes, you read that right. Isn't that awesome? I AM STILL WORKING ON: My manners. I like to counter surf which makes everything at eye level fair game. My foster mom is also helping me learn not to jump on everyone when I get super excited and to come when called. I know my name but sometimes practice the art of selective hearing when she is calling me for. I AM NOT GOOD WITH: Cats! My foster family has one and boy does he get on my nerves. I am also a little nervous about being touched around the neck as I was trained using a shock collar. I am getting better with reassurance from the humans. While I am good at walking on a leash, I will need some help at not barking at everyone I see. I REQUIRE: ◦ Fenced-in yard, as I like to run around! ◦ No shared walls, as I like to talk sometimes (apartments, townhomes) ◦ No cats ◦ An active person or family would be wonderful **All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH. No transportation assistance is available.**
