Story
Tobler is a 5-year-old male shar pei mix who is available for adoption at CCHS! Tobler was found as a stray in Urbana. Tobler is an outgoing and wiggly boy who is friendly with people and loves going outside. He comes when called and has acted appropriately during dog-dog introductions. Come meet Tobler at CCHS! Tobler is a STAFF FAVORITE PET! Here's what Animal Care Staff Member, Tom, has to say about him: "Tobler is a wonderful, friendly, happy boy..... And he's big enough to make sure you know about all of it! Have you ever wondered what kind of dog will happily get his belly pet by five people at once? Wonder no more! It's Tobler! He is a big guy with a big bark, but he responds well to positive reinforcement (he will do nearly anything for half a milk bone) and gentleness (this "bulldozer" sure loves a belly rub and a scratch anywhere he can't reach) He loves people more than he loves dinner (which is a lot), and has many friends at the shelter. If you're willing to pet him, you've probably got a friend in Tobler In his kennel when he isn't using those big eyes to get extra walks, he likes to snooze, loaf like a cat, play with his toys, and devour his enrichment treats. On walks he loves to use that big nose to sniff all over the yard, although he might need a hand from someone with thumbs to help him keep focused and avoid sharing his opinions for other dogs with a "boof." Tobler is a big dog with a big bark and an even bigger heart. If that sounds like the dog for you, come meet him today!"

Story
Esha is a 9-year-old female pit mix available for adoption at CCHS! Esha has found her way to our facility a few times since she was a young dog, but came here most recently after being found running at large in Western Indiana. She's been around! Esha definitely does not "act" like a senior gal, as she has quite a bit of energy and spunk left in her. Come meet Esha at CCHS!

Story
Meet Fjord! This 8 year old pit-bull mix is refined gentleman that's sure to win your heart with his puppy-like eyes and wiggly butt. Fjord has come to us from our local animal control facility twice now, so his home life is a mystery to us, but here at CCHS he has proven himself to be a playful, affectionate and brilliant companion. He is appropriate in his interactions with other dogs, and has a passion for plushies. He is food-motivated and very biddable, and loves a good butt scratch. Fjord is such an angel. There's no reason to wait any longer, come meet and snatch up Fjord at CCHS! Fjord is a STAFF FAVORITE PET! Here's what our Intake Coordinator, Tyler, has to say about him: “I've known Mr. Fjord since his first stint at animal control back in 2021. Not much has changed about this sweet boy's personality in that time. He is a proper Distinguished Gentleman who has perfected the "puppy dog eyes" look. His sweet face staring up at you always earns a treat or a pet (or more likely both). He is just generally a sweet old man. Fjord enjoys long walks, eating his Peanut Butter and smelling all there is to smell!  He's just starting to hit his golden years in stride and has lots of love and little bursts of energy to give too as long as you provide him treats and scratches and keep 'em coming!”

Story
Pochio is a 1-year-old large mixed breed boy available for adoption at CCHS! Pochio was originally found as a stray and taken into a home. He is a boisterous big boy who did well with young children in his previous home. He loves going outside for walks and sniff time. He has a lot to say (he has a lot of opinions), so he may be a good fit for someone without close neighbors! Come meet this big boy at CCHS!
