Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Cambria!   Cambria is a very sweet, beautiful girl with very cool coloring and markings!  She loves to run around and play with her sister and her toys! She loves squeaky toys and high-quality chew toys. She loves to cuddle next to you after she is done running around getting her energy out! She loves to cuddle next to you or she will even cuddle up in her puppy bed and nap. She will need a little variety of toys to keep her busy and entertained. She loves to be held and give puppy kisses!   We are guessing she is a boxer mix, and our best guess is she will grow up to be a medium sized girl. Her mother was found as a stray and had eight puppies! They were all very lucky to get into rescue to all live their best lives now.   She is being fostered with her sister, Callie. She is doing well with crate training and will sleep throughout the night. She is just starting potty training and will need a family with patience and consistency to continue her training. I am using the bell training method, and it is going well, but will need to be reinforced continuously with treats and positive reinforcement.   She is an active girl and will need a lot of exercise, walks and park time. She will be the perfect adventure girl! She would love hiking and park time with her new family.   She will need continued socializing and play time with other pups! She would LOVE doggie daycare to get structured play and play time. She does well with cats and is being fostered with cats and kittens.   She is a VERY smart girl, and we HIGHLY encourage obedience/behavior training for all of our pups once adopted into their forever homes. If you live an active lifestyle and are ready to bring this adorable girl into your home, she is ready for some meet and greets to meet her family! She will be officially ready for adoption on December 17th.  $400 Adoption Fee . Columbus , Ohio adoptions only please .

Story
This is sage our 6 year old golden doodle. We’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old and his birthday is 7/24/19. He is a fun, energetic dog looking for a new home to love on him! He’s never had an accident in the home. He loves to go for walks and all the attention! I think he would be best suited in a home with older kids. We have young kids that he just doesn’t have the patience for. Kids 8+ would be ideal!

Story
🚨 Stella has been abandoned, and she is currently living in a pen outside! She desperately needs to find a loving forever home where she can live out her golden years! Note that this dog is not being fostered by our organization, and we’re just posting her as a courtesy. A family member has been temporarily housing her outside, but obviously it’s too cold outside. She is accustomed to being an indoor dog, and due to age/health, the relative cannot care for the dog long-term. Stella is located in the Zanesville area. She is a female white pit mix. She is described as a very friendly and affectionate dog. She is about 6 years old, and she has been spayed. ⚠️ If you don’t have space for another dog, please help by sharing this post! 📧 Email karmawhitford@gmail.com or karmandrew@hotmail.com with any questions or to express interest.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Leia 🩷 📍 Fostered in: Westerville, OH 🐶 Good with dogs: Yes 🐈 Good with cats: Yes 👧 Good with kids: Yes 🏠 Housebroken: Yes 📦 Crate trained: Yes 🐾 Leash trained: Working on it! ⸻ Hi, I’m Leia 👋🏼 I am an estimated 6-8 year old large mixed breed in search of my final destination. My foster family DNA tested me and I am 50% Great Pyrenees, 20.1% Cane Corso, 19.6% American Pit Bull Terrier, and 10.3% American Bulldog. More importantly, I am 100% the best girl! My early days started with being kept crated 24/7, used for breeding and hardly cared for. Finally, my “family” abandoned me, which may have been the best gift possible. I was found as a stray and taken in as an emergency due to my condition. Between the help of many rescuers, I made my way to CO•PAW and have transformed into my absolute best self. From skin & bones to healthy & playful! I love sleeping on the couch, sometimes trying to scooch my way onto a lap if I’m allowed. I just learned how to play with my foster brothers and I love running in the yard with them, too. I love my food and treats! I am working on basic commands and definitely food motivated. I prefer to be fed away from other pets. After having been starved, I can get a wee bit protective of my foods. I REQUIRE... A fenced in yard or lots of walkies! If you have a flimsy fence, that might not work for me. If I see a deer or a rabbit, I want to try to get it. 👀 My foster mom had a weak spot in her fence, and I went on a bit of a walk about. Once that was fixed, I have been fine! ⸻ 🩺 Veterinary Care Provided All CO•PAW dogs are: ✔️ Spayed/Neutered ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Heartworm tested (1+ year) ✔️ Given preventatives and initial vaccines If booster shots have not yet occurred, they may be completed for free at our Columbus, OH clinic—or at your own vet, at your expense. ⸻ 📝 Adoption Info •Must live in the State of Ohio •No transport available—adopters must travel for the meet & greet •Meet & greets are scheduled only after application approval •Please come prepared to take your new best friend home if it’s a match! Bring a collar, leash, harness, and crate for safe travel.
