My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roo is an 8-month-old mixed breed pup. He might be a Rhodesian Ridgeback or hound mix, and was found by vacationers in South Carolina in a box. His striking blue eyes might be due to some husky ancestry.

He lives with a 70-year-old owner who is physically unable to manage his strength and energy. Due to her physical limitations, she cannot walk him on leash without assistance and he is becoming frustrated and anxious in the home.

Roo is very smart and energetic, and is in need of a home that will provide him with plenty of exercise and enrichment! He is quite treat motivated, and is able to pick up new skills quickly. He is house trained but needs work on crate training using positive reinforcement techniques. He has met a few dogs and did fine, and will do more testing soon. He has also been around children, but needs to work on not jumping and mouthing. He has not been around cats. He needs to find his new adventure buddy soon, as his current situation is not a good match for either Roo or his owner.

Additional adoption info

An adoption application must be completed prior to coordinating a private meet and greet with the dog's foster parent. An adoption contract is signed at the time of adoption. Veterinarian reference and a home check is also required. Since we do home checks for all potential adopters, we prefer to adopt only within the central Ohio area. All dogs have an adoption fee of $300.00 which covers their vaccinations (including rabies, heartworm testing and heartworm prevention) while in our care, worming, microchipping and spay or neutering prior to adoption. Please email us at contactus@powellpaws.org if you would like to meet one of our great, adoptable dogs.

More about this rescue

PAWS (Powell Animal Welfare Society) is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue serving the Columbus, Ohio area. Our volunteer rescue, provides veterinary care and finds loving homes for stray, neglected, and/or abused dogs from overpopulated shelters in Ohio and neighboring states.

PAWS strives to eliminate the needless euthanasia of homeless animals, one dog, one adopter at a time. We are in need of more loving foster homes for homeless dogs. PAWS can only save a dog if we have a foster home to care for it since we have NO kennel. Each foster home provides shelter and care, while PAWS provides food, veterinary care (including spay/neuter) and all necessary supplies such as crates, bowls, leashes, collars, etc.
