Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi there. My name is Dexter. I'm a 3 year old Cane Corso. I weigh in at around 120 lbs.
I was originally adopted from another shelter, but when my Mom had to move, she had no choice but to give me up. She contacted the shelter she had gotten me from, but they didn't want me back. They told her just to surrender me to her local shelter, so here I am.
I am a very rambunctious boy. Although my Mom had me in training, I remained unruly and I'm kind of difficult to handle sometimes because I am so big and I have a lot of shenanigans.
I will need a strong owner with the ability to train me to be a gentleman, because right now, I'm a bit of a wild man.
I will need placed in a home with no other dogs. I am reactive, and though I'm not necessarily aggressive towards them, I am very over bearing. It just seems that I really don't know what to do with another dog. The other dogs don't really seem to do good with me either because they don't like the way I behave. My owner said her friend had a Great Dane and he acted just like me and we played together for hours, so it is possible that I have the potential to be okay in the right environment, but maybe the shelter just has me stressed out.
I definitely need a family that will give me a lot of exercise. Once I get the chance to run of my energy off, I mostly want to relax and sleep, but if i don't get to run and get rid of some energy, I'll drive you crazy.
I LOVE people and I am even great with kids, although again, I am a bit obnoxious. So due to my size it is recommended my new family includes children over the age of 10.
I LOVE playing with toys and I play fetch, too.
I am housebroken, too.
If you have the time and effort to put in to me, I'm going to be a great dog. Please consider adopting me.
**UPDATE** I was adopted from here and I was in my new home for a few months, but I was returned for getting too mouthy towards the 5 year old child in my home.
It is very important that I go to a home with no children under the age of 10.
Our adoption fee is $120.00. The adoption fee must be paid in CASH. We are unable to accept personal checks or credit/debit cards for adoption fees. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt.
IF the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care.
We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter.
Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. The adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him!
Shelter hours are: Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm
Saturday: 9 am- 12 pm.
The pound is CLOSED to the public on Sunday.
There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend.
Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
