Story
Penny came to us from Franklin County rescue at 3 years of age. She’s an energetic and happy but also loves to relax when she’s at home and comfortable. She absolutely loves being outside and taking road trips. She does get agitated when meeting new dogs, especially those that are reactive but warms up relatively quickly. She lived with another dog for a year and they got along great. That said I would not recommend her for homes with cats or other small critters.

Story
Tippy Trace is a 4.5 (almost 5) year old pit bull who was rescued from our organization over four years ago after an incident led her to lose her front left leg. Since then, she has been in a loving home with two children (ages 10 and 1.5) and another older female dog. She has had aggression issues towards the older female dog worsening over the last two years, leading to them needing to re-home her now. She does very well with children and is a lover of people. She loves to cuddle and play. She can run super fast and doesn’t even realize that she is a tripod! She loves to pop bubbles and play fetch! Tippy is in need of a dog-less home or possibly one with an older male dog. She would be a great companion for a single person or a family!

Likes: Pen loves people, dogs, toys, the couch or a comfy bed, good belly rubs and being outside. Dislikes: Chickens (but not eating chicken) Penelope loves life and absolutely knows that she has been rescued. She was deprived of human companionship, as well as canine, when she spent a year inside a lonely rural shelter. She was starting to lose hope. But now, she radiates happiness every time you pet her, or she rolls in the grass, or she lays in a soft bed, or a dog plays with her, or if there is a nice breeze outside, because she missed that so much during the year she was ignored in the shelter. She adores humans and wants nothing more than to be with her people. She is very chill in the house, and basically sleeps if no one is in the mood to play with her. If she can sleep next to you, all the better. If you want a dog who will adore you, and be grateful for any kindness, then Penelope is your girl. Pen's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved. ##2338937##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Are you seeking the goodest boy? Look no further, as his name is Saint and he is up for adoption. Rescue workers brought Saint in after finding him sleeping as a stray on a bench outside a remote house. They contacted his former owner and learned that he had abandoned Saint. His foster family lives near where rescuers found him. The foster family would love to adopt him, unfortunately their other male does not like him. Saint loves laying on the couch next to his person while watching tv. He lets out his extra energy by playing with toys or zooming around the yard. He can play with other dogs, or he can entertain himself. Although friendly to all people and children, he forms attachments to individuals. He knows sit, stay, up, down, lay down, no, come, leave it, crate and much more. Once you have him do something once or twice, it becomes second nature to him. He will chase a cat, but if you “say leave” it or “no” before the chase happens, he will leave them alone. This dog has everything to offer the perfect family. He is an easy trainable dog. His only downside is not having any people to ensure the best for this goodest boy. The current foster loves to talk about him, so feel free to ask questions. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs. These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed.

Pets currently in the applicant's home must have a history of appropriate veterinary care. Homes with intact dogs will not be approved for adoption.  Proof of any of the following exceptions is required: The intact dog is a working member of a law enforcement, or search and rescue/recovery team. The intact dog is registered under the auspices of the American Kennel Club and is actively being shown. A veterinarian has determined the sterilization procedure would harm the intact dog.  We believe in Force Free Training Methods and do not approve of methods or devices using pain or force to control the dog, or to deter undesirable behavior.  Homes with highly varnished steps must have carpeting, securely fixed stair treads, or a non-skid surface. **We encourage you to remediate potential safety issues while your application is under review, prior to the home visit.

Petey is a young adult pitbull & bulldog mix. Hes a big baby who loves to cuddle in bed, chill on the couch, or go for rides in the car. When the zoomies come, hes a bundle of fun energy!Petey is very energetic and loves to play with other dogs and go for walks. He shares his food bowl and toys with other dogs in the household without any signs of resource guarding.Petey is neutered and fully vetted. Because of Peteys playful energy, we do not think a family with kids under the age of 12 will be good. We dont want anyone to get knocked down when hes running to play fetch or practicing parkour. The same goes for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs Petey loves to play and we dont want them to be his toy! This beautiful rascal is about 60 pounds of muscle and cant wait to join his forever family!Apply at ricopetrecovery.orgHis adoption fee is $250.

Story
My name is now Calvin. You may remember meI was dropped off in my crate off of old 3C highway across from the elementary school back in May on the last day of school. I spent the day with the teachers and the kids but when the kids got picked up, no one came to get me. I found a nice foster family with Rico Pet Recovery and they decided to adopt me. But every now and then, I get in a little misunderstanding with the other house dogs. So they told me I must find a new home by Tuesday (2/11). Thats not much time and I will be so scared in boarding. Luck is not on my side . Im a very playful, loving energetic boy. I know sit, place, heel, middle, off, back out and enough (for play). I love to snuggle in bed (yours and mine). I am house trained, can walk on a leash, play tug and fetch (still working on bringing the ball back). Why do you throw it if you want it back . Im not a huge fan of cars, but I do ok. I would do best in a home with a big submissive dog or as your ONE and ONLY best buddy! Can you PLEASE PLEASE help me out? I could use a foster or adopterApply at ricopetrecovery.org.
