Story
Having to find a new home for my dog Bruce and want to do right by him, not just post and hope. Bruce is 7, about 108 lbs, and about as gentle as a dog his size can be. He's amazing with people, including kids, and has never once shown aggression toward a person. He's calm, affectionate, and settled, basically a big lap dog who doesn't know he's big. The one thing to know: Bruce does not get along with another dog in the home and will stand up for himself if pushed. He'd do best as the only dog in the household, or with an experienced owner who can manage a careful introduction if there's already a dog in the house. He needs a fenced yard and a confident handler on leash given his size. I'm doing a meet-and-greet before any placement and would love updates once he's settled. Happy to answer questions about his history and routine. Bruce deserves a soft landing, and I want to make sure it's the right one.

Story
Liberty BelleFemaleD.O.B. 5/1/2026Expected Full-Grown Weight: 65-75 lbsBreed: Boxer Mix Hi, I’m Liberty Belle, but my friends call me Belle! I’m an enthusiastic, athletic, and curious puppy who loves learning, exploring, and being part of the action. I’m good with dogs, cats, and kids. I currently live with other dogs of different sizes and two cats, and I do well with everyone. I also LOVE meeting new people and am friendly and excited to make new friends. I’m making great progress with my puppy manners! I ring the bells on the door when I need to go outside to potty, keep my crate clean overnight, and sit nicely when I’m asking for treats. I’m eager to please my humans and pay close attention to them, which makes learning new things pretty exciting for me. I love going for leash walks and am always ready for an adventure, whether we’re heading out for a car ride or simply exploring the backyard. I’m still figuring out how to keep my long legs from getting tangled in my car seatbelt, but I’m working on it! Toys are one of my favorite things — especially anything that squeaks. I also love playing in the kiddy pool, splashing my paws, fishing toys out of the water, and carrying them around the yard. When I get excited, I love to zoom around in big, fast circles. I’m a strong, muscular girl with some seriously impressive jumping skills, and I still enjoy a little backyard parkour — bouncing around the yard, jumping on things, and finding creative ways to turn everyday objects into an obstacle course. After all that activity, I’m happy to settle in too. I love lounging in circle-shaped dog beds and relaxing near my people, especially stretched out by their feet on the couch. I’m also very attentive and take cues from my humans. If another dog barks at something outside, I often look to my foster dad first to see how he reacts. I like to taste-test treats before fully committing, but cream cheese was a definite winner when it came time to take my monthly flea, tick, and heartworm pill. If you’re looking for a fun, smart, active, affectionate girl who loves walks, toys, zoomies, adventures, and being close to her people, I might just be your girl! If you are interested in meeting Belle apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $395. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2778277##

Story
Midnite is a sweet, loving 8–9 year old dog who has been with me since she was about 6 months old. I rescued her from an abusive situation, so she can be shy and cautious around unfamiliar people, other dogs, and especially men at first. Once she feels safe, she becomes very affectionate and forms a very strong bond with her person. I’m looking for a loving, patient home with one adult, no other pets, (although she gets along well with cats) and someone who has plenty of time to spend with her and give her lots of attention. She would do best with someone who wants a close companion and can give her a calm, peaceful home. She does have seasonal allergies that may need veterinary care. Since we had a baby, she has become more irritable around him, so I believe an adult-only home would be best for her. Midnite is deeply loved, and I will only place her in a safe, loving home where she can get the time, attention, and care she deserves. She is a wonderful dog and she deserves a good home

Story
🥰 This beautiful girl is Cocoa. Cocoa is 6 years old and has a pure velvet coat. She is very smart and PERFECTLY house trained. She has not had any accidents, has no desire to get on furniture, she is curious, but not at all destructive.  🧸 She is also a very gentle dog that loves her toys, but does not destroy them. She can “sit” and give you her paw like a champ. Cocoa would love an active family that would take her for car rides, hikes and runs. She is an athletic girl that excels at ZOOMIES and TWIRLS.  Cocoa needs some leash work and would need slow introductions to new dogs. 🙏Please consider fostering or fostering to adopt Cocoa so she can continue her great progress! Apply to meet Cocoa at ricopetrecovery.org

Indie came to CHA through our partnership with the ASPCA. She is a smart girl who already knows sit, and is working very hard on her leash manners. This girl is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She is happy to romp around and entertain herself with a toy, but she`s equally happy to curl up on the couch for snuggles.

Story
Penny was found on the streets shortly after having a litter. She has been with us two years, and is a big people pleaser. She is on the smaill side - 40lbs. Her happy place is snuggling on the couch. We had her trained professionally for 6 months, but she is still a leash puller. We are looking for a single pet home for her, as she can be reactive with other dogs. She has an adoptive sister that she plays well with usually, but lately they have had increasing issues and fighting. She also has a playmate that she sees twice a week, that works out well, but she would really like to be a family's sole pet.
