Due to his size, age, & energy, we reccomend older kids 10+ who know how to interact properly with dogs. Dogs: Thompson hasn't met any other dogs yet so we aren't sure how he'd do. We always reccomend patience and caution during any introductions. Cats: Thompson has never met a cat before so we aren't sure how he'd do. We reccomend patience and supervision during introductions for the best chance of success. Thompson's Favorite Things: Being a happy go-lucky lad, fetch, tug-o-war, walks together, wigglin', Fergalicious, TV time, cuddling, snacks Thomspon is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines and preventions!

Story
Meet Lady! This robust royal is always down for a good cuddle and prefers only the softest of blankies! Lady's always excited for an adventure from leisurely walks in the park, a nice open-window car ride, or a good fluffy toy to nibble on! If you're interested in a companion that prefers your company over most everything, Lady's here and waiting to spend her golden days with her best friend! Kids: Lady's great with children! Children 8 years and older would be best due to her intense love. Dogs: We're not quite sure how Lady does with dogs. She does seem to enjoy playtime with them as long as they can respect her boundaries when it's time to relax. We always advise cautious and supervised introductions for the best chance of success. Cats: Lady has never met a cat before but due to her high prey drive we advise extreme caution and supervision during potential introductions as a prey drive does not always indicate compatibility with cats. Lady's Favorite Things: rope toys, leisurely walks in the park, cuddling, talk radio, sleeping in the big bed, air conditioning, hangin' out Lady is spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines and preventions!

Story
Silas was rescued at 12 weeks of age. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and give kisses. He does well with houstraining if he is walked every couple of hours. His birthdate is 5/18/2022. He started agility training in the back yard and caught on to a couple of things. He is very intelligent. He loves to play in his kiddie pool when the weather is nice outside. Silas does need a lot attention as aussies are very protective of their people, and he needs someone willing to work with him on the things that make him anxious. He quickly becomes someone's friend after they greet him with a treat. As a herding dog, he does not do well with cats or other small animals as he thinks of them as a job to chase. He does do well with other dogs. Silas needs a new home as his current mom has been diagnosed with serious health conditions and is no longer capable of caring for a dog with high energy. He will go home with a bag of food and his favorite toys.

Border Collie Australian Shepherd

Bowling Green, OH
Size

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Major was adopted from an Amish farm where he had lived in a barn for the first two months of his life. He has always had a pep in his step since I first laid eyes on him. Major is super playful, very smart, and VERY fluffy. He can be good with dogs, kids, and animals, but gets spooked very easily when things bombard him though. Major has never attacked anyone, but can bark at new people sometimes. He has been the sweetest puppy as he is one year old now. Once he knows you, he will never forget and love you forever. If you love dogs you will love Major. He loves playin fetch, going to parks, cuddling, he will sleep at your feet, and he LOVES toys. I have developed a very busy college and work schedule along with other life circumstances. There are so many amazing things about Major, but at the end of the day I have become so limited on time and he needs a loving and experienced owner who has knowledge about this breed.

Story
I adopted Lincoln from the Toledo Humane Society Over three years ago. He was the first dog I've had since living on my own. Lincoln is a wonderfully smart dog who loves to play and be with his family. He was sent here from Arizona but the humane society didn't know his backstory unfortunately. There were signs after bringing him home that he may have been abused. He is house trained, Lincoln knows, Sit, Stay, Lay down, Wait, Speak, and can do a cute half way roll over. (his attempt at rolling over anyway lol). He pulls a bit on walks but not the worst pulling dog I've seen by a longshot. He just likes to sniff, if we're walking on pavement or away from grass he walks right along side me. However, with him being a German Shepherd he needs more space and more attention than I am able to give. If you have a backyard and people to be around I can almost 100% assure you this guy will be remembered as the best dog ever. I know he has been for me!
