Story
Charlie just turned 3 years old — a birthday she spent, once again, behind the walls of the shelter she’s called home for almost a year and a half. 🥀She’s a beautiful Rottweiler/Retriever mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul… but you’ll have to earn the chance to see that side of her. Charlie struggles with meeting new people — the world hasn’t always been kind to her — but if someone could just give her a few chances, visit her a couple of times, sit quietly nearby and let her heart unfold on its own… they’d find the most loyal, gentle, loving dog waiting underneath the fear. 💔Once she trusts you, she’s pure sunshine — a snuggly, kiss-giving, tail-wagging angel who will follow you anywhere. She walks beautifully on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and loves to stretch her legs running around the yard before curling up in a soft bed or a pile of blankets. She doesn’t care much for toys — she just wants love, safety, and someone to finally stay. 🐾Charlie has done well with some dogs here, but she takes her time getting comfortable — both with people and other pets. She’d do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with no young kids or cats.She’s a staff and volunteer favorite because we’ve seen the real her — the dog that greets you with kisses, melts into your lap, and looks at you like you’re her entire world. 🌙We keep telling her that her person is out there. That someone will see past the nerves and realize what a once-in-a-lifetime dog she truly is. But with every day that passes, she waits a little longer.Maybe you’re the one she’s been waiting for. 🖤More information?

Story
Meet woody!! He is a chihuahua. His est birth date is 6/26/2016. He weighs almost 13lbs. He is fixed and UTD on all shots and micro chipped. Woody was found wondering the streets of Columbus and was taken to the shelter there until he came to us.He is thriving in his foster home now. He is extremely loving, playful and well mannered little guy. He really enjoys being outside and does really well on a leash. But anything that goes over his head like a harness does make him nervous. So a vest type harness is best for him.Does well with kids 10 yrs and older. With Woody being a little on the older side. He does have some arthritis is his back legs. He is currently on inflammation meds for that. Woody is in a foster home that is located in Urbana Ohio. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
This handsome little guy is Tator. He is a Chiweenie and weighs about 15 lbs. He is full grown. Tator was surrendered by an owner who could no longer care for him, but he was clearly very loved. Tator is good with cats and dogs. He is crate trained and currently is trained to go potty on pads. His foster is working on transitioning him to go potty outside, but the adopter will need to be prepared to continue his house training. He is very sweet and affectionate. Tator would be a great companion for anyone. We are looking for a foster or foster to adopt for Tator so we can complete his vetting with our partner veterinarians in the Columbus area. He still needs to be neutered. Tator is 7 months old. The adoption fee for Tator is $350 and includes the core vaccines and the neuter surgery at our partner veterinarian and a microchip.

Story
Meet this adorable 4-year-old Chihuahua mix who is ready to find her perfect forever home! At about 13 pounds, she's the ideal little sidekick with a big personality. She's potty trained, does well with other dogs, and absolutely loves playing fetch— it's her favorite game! She’ll need to be leashed outside unless the yard is securely fenced. Like many Chihuahuas, she can be vocal and may bark when meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her sweet, affectionate personality shines through. She'll do best with a family that understands small dogs and is willing to give her a little time to warm up. Sky was surrendered by her first family because the little boy in the house was being too rough with her and it scared her. Because of that past, it is likely that Sky will remain cautious and nervous around little kids. So we recommend a family with children older than 8. If you're looking for a loyal, playful companion with lots of love to give, this little girl could be the perfect match. Sky has a stuffed elephant that she loves and that she takes everywhere. The family adopting Sky will have to make room for her elephant too! Sky is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Apply to meet Sky at ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Sky is $250.

Story
🐾 Little Andy is looking for the right person to give him forever family.Little Andy was found living as a stray. A homeless man was eventually able to get a piece of twine around his neck so he could be brought to safety. Based on his behavior, it’s likely Little Andy was not treated very kindly early in life.Because of that, he does not like to be picked up—but he absolutely loves being near his person. His favorite things are laying next to you while you watch TV and curling up nearby at bedtime.Little Andy enjoys the simple things in life:☀️ Laying in the sun🧸 Gathering his toys🪟 Watching the world go by from the window❤️ Getting very excited when his human comes homeHe can be a little bossy with other dogs, so he would need a very patient canine sibling or would also do well as the only dog soaking up all the attention.Little Andy will keep you safe from the Amazon drivers, happily jump in the car for rides, and enjoy short walks with his favorite person.His ideal home would be a quiet environment with someone looking for a loyal companion. Because it’s just too tempting to scoop up this adorable little guy, a home without children would be best.Little Andy may have had a rough start, but with the right person who understands him, he will be a devoted best friend for life. 🐾If you’d like to meet Little Andy, apply at ricopetrecovery.org.Adoption Fee is $200.
