Elias: The Dog Everyone Walks Past… and the One Who Still Hopes Anyway Elias is about 6–7 years old, adoption fee sponsored, good with other dogs, but he definitely prefers the ladies. He’s not fluffy. He’s not tiny. He doesn’t come in “merle swirl sparkle confetti” coloring. He is, in fact… brown. With a broken tail that has retired from all future wagging duties. He’s also got a couple bald spots on his back end — the kind you get from too many nights on concrete and not enough nights on a couch. But his eyes? His eyes will stop you in your tracks. Warm, deep, and tired in that way that lets you know he’s seen some things… and somehow came out gentle. What gets us every time is how he looks at the door — every single day — like maybe today is finally his turn. Most people pass him by for the smaller, fluffier, flashier options. Elias just stays patient. Stays kind. Stays hopeful. If you want a dog who will be grateful for every walk, every soft blanket, every scrap of normal life… this is your guy. Come meet him. Let him look at you the way he looks at that door. You might not walk out alone. Brown County Humane Society Dog Shelter – bchsohio.org/adoption-application/

Story

Meet Leigh! Leigh is a 2 month old bundle of sweetness with the wrinkliest little face. This baby is as loving as they come and believes everyone is a friend, whether they have two legs or four. Leigh adores snuggling with people and dogs alike, and her favorite move is gently nuzzling right into your neck. When she’s not cuddled up, Leigh is silly, playful, and full of happy puppy energy. She’s the perfect mix of fun and affection, always ready to play and then just as ready to curl up close for a nap. If you’re looking for a puppy who will make you laugh, melt into your arms, and grow up to be your very best snuggle buddy, Leigh is ready to claim that spot. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.
