Meet Penny, a loyal, loving girl looking for her forever home! Penny is a sweet 2-year-old Border Collie/Presa Canario mix with a goofy, scruffy-bearded face you can’t resist.

Penny has completed obedience training, so she has a great foundation. She does best with someone who will keep her skills sharp and her brilliant mind busy with walks, games, and puzzle toys.She’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and comes with a full bag of food, her training collars, and her own custom crate.She needs a patient, experienced owner who can give her room to run and the attention she deserves.

Story
Winston is a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix we adopted as a puppy seven years ago. He is now 7 but still thinks he’s a puppy! He is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you’ll meet.He is a big cuddle bug who loves being near his people, relaxing around the house, and soaking up affection. He is laid-back most of the day but has a playful side and needs a few opportunities to burn off energy.Winston has strong herding instincts and loves to run, roam, play fetch, and explore. He would thrive in a home with a large, fenced yard and someone who enjoys keeping him mentally stimulated.He completed training at Sit Means Sit and knows basic commands. He isn’t the easiest to walk on a leash and prefers room to run. He can get overly excited and forget his size, so he would benefit from continued training, especially around young children and other dogs. He does have a scary bark but has never hurt a soul. We don’t like to risk it so we don’t bring him around dogs or children.

Story
This is Onyx! He's a five and a half year old Dachshund/Border Collie mix that inherited quite the combination of traits from both parents.As they say, big things come in small packages! Onyx is incredibly intelligent, much like a border collie. He is also fiercely loyal like a Dachshund. He has all the energy in the world, but would prefer to curl up on a lap for all eternity.In lieu of toys, Onyx prefers yummy snacks and all the snuggles!Onyx has lived with other dogs of all sizes throughout his life, but he does not like to share which is why he is looking for a forever home without other pets.Onyx has never been around children (or cats), but he would do best in a child free household or with older children. He's also weary of strangers but warms up very quickly (especially when they pretend he's not there).Onyx is an incredible boy and he is so excited to find his forever family!He will be sent home with his crate, beds, bowls, food, food storage container, etc.Fee negotiable.

These pups are in Defiance, Ohio too!

Story
Hi friends, I’m Resi!I would like to begin by saying that I am VERY busy. There are things to sniff. Things to investigate. Things to learn. People to impress. And, most importantly, WATER. I have places to be and splashing to do. I am a high energy, goofy little chaos gremlin and a firm believer that life is best lived at approximately 110% at all times. The staff here love me, because I am the best. I came to FDHS a few months ago after my family’s home burned down and they had nowhere else for me to go. Before that, I spent most of my life living on a tie out next to railroad tracks. When I first arrived, I was kind of a hot mess. I had not exactly been given much opportunity to learn how to be a well rounded dog, so I needed some help with my manners and figuring out this whole “being a gentleman” thing. Luckily, I’ve had some pretty great people in my corner and I’ve made a LOT of progress.Now, let’s discuss my greatest passion: WATER. I LOVE WATER. I want to swim in it, splash in it, investigate it, and wallop around in it all day. I am convinced I was a mermaid in a previous life and I would like to return to my aquatic roots. I’m also interested in making some animal friends! I’ve been friendly with other dogs through the kennel and have shown interest in playing. I’m polite but curious around the cats in the catio, too. New people are a little more complicated. I didn’t get much practice with them growing up, so I can be shy and standoffish until I decide you are one of the good ones. Treats help tremendously. In fact, I am willing to reconsider almost any opinion in exchange for snacks.I do have some things my future family will need to understand. I LOVE food. Perhaps a little too much. I can gobble down my meals and have been known to resource guard my food bowl and high value treats. I do great with a slow feeder and prefer to enjoy my meals peacefully in my kennel. My future family will need to respect my boundaries around food and continue helping me build confidence and trust.I’m looking for an active family who understands my breed, enjoys a dog with a little extra horsepower and is ready to keep teaching me. I’ve been through some really hard things, but I have a LOT of life left to live, and I’m hoping my forever family is out there ready to keep up!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**
