Story
Meet Bullet! This adorable thing is a male Cattle Dog/Mountain Cur Mix DOB 9/26/25, who currently weighs 26 pounds. He is all things puppy! Clumsy, nosy, naps alot, no sense of personal space and did we mention adorable?! We are predicting he will be less than 50 pounds when full grown, but we have not seen mom or dad, so there is no guarantee. Meet Bullet Australian Cattle Dogs and possible Mountain Cur mixes, about 5 months old, and packed with smart personalities and energy. These are not couch potato puppies. They are smart, driven, and thrive with structure, training, and consistency. A home that understands active working breeds will be their sweet spot. Both puppies have been around kids and other animals and do great with other dogs. Cats are a maybe. They think chasing is a fun game, so a cat savvy or cat free home would be best. They are very food motivated, eager to learn, and love having a job or task to focus on. They have been in foster care since before Christmas and have done really well. They are crate trained, have very few accidents in the house, and walk nicely on a leash. Their fosters have put in the work and it shows. Bullet and Indra are fully vetted and ready to go. These two have waited long enough and are truly ready for families who will commit to their training, give them outlets for their energy, and make them part of daily life. In return, you get loyal, fun, intelligent dogs who want nothing more than to learn and belong. They are mostly house trained, but are puppies so you have to keep up on it and expect a possible accident Adoption fee is $400 All Ashland County Humane Society animals' adoption fees include ~spay/neuter ~micro-chip ~de-worming ~vaccinations, including rabies ~heartworm prevention If you are interested in adopting this dog, please visit: www.ashlandhumane.org/adoption-application (copy and paste link to address bar) for a printable application.

Story
Meet KALLIE! She is a 4 ish year old German Shepherd Dog who weighs 56 pounds. She is friendly and does well with other dogs. Kallie is a bundle of energy and will need an active family who will exercise both mind and body daily. She is crate trained, knows some commands and walks well on a leash. KALLIE lived with 3 other dogs and they got along fine, but she does not share food well and will need to be fed separately (a good idea for most dogs). Unfortunately, KALLIE was mistreated in her previous home and had to be removed by the Sheriff. She hasn't lost her spirit and is very resilient. She gets a little anxious and needs to be handled gently and slowly at first until she gets comfortable. She is looking forward to getting a stable family and getting treated well.

Story
Oh Pickles! This pretty girl has had a rough life. She had people, everyone became homeless, they stayed together as long as they could, but they all went hungry. She came to us a little traumatized and starving. She is shy, but will warm up. She prefers to be with another dog and does well with large and small dogs and seems indifferent to cats. Do you have a great dog that would like to teach her the ropes? The good news is that Pickles was accepted into the Cell Dog Program at the Mansfield Correctional Institution. The supervised inmates have been teaching her obedience, proper leash training, house breaking, commands, socialization and all the things a dog needs to be a great pet.

Story
Meet Rocket 💗🐾 Rocket is a Miniature Poodle who was born in September, 2021 and weighs 14 pounds. Rocket is shy. He can be nippy if someone swoops in too quickly and scares him. We are working on this and he is improving. If you are patient and get down on his level, he warms up and enjoys cuddling and interacting. He is clearly very curious and wants to get involved, but is timid initially. He is friendly with other dogs. He also was found to have severe dental disease and had to have all but 8 teeth pulled. Rocket is a recent arrival from a high volume breeder in Amish country and probably aged out of the baby makin' business. Being rescued from a high volume breeder doesn't mean there is anything wrong, The dog could have been the wrong color, size, fur, whatever or now retired from breeding. We are lucky enough to work with a vet in the area who cares enough to scoop up these dogs and get them adopted instead of ........??
