My son brought this dog to my home. We already have three female dogs and this dog is unneutered. My son told me that his friend was going to take it; however, this has not happened. I would like for this dog to be rehomed. He is a sweet boy.

Story
We got him when he was 2 months old. He is now 8 months. Since getting him, I had to take on more responsibilities, that impact my ability to care for him. He is very smart and has a lot of energy. He loves playing outside and would benefit from a family that has more time to spend with him.

Story
She was dumped at the dog park by my work And the county shelter would not pick her up. I ended up getting her out of the cold with the intentions of a foster keeping her, but the person backed out so now she is in my house with my three shepherds separated, not getting the attention she deserves. I found an amazing organization that got her spayed, chipped and vaccinated with proof and now she is ready to find her furever home. She is good with other dogs just like to play. Please don't over look this sweet young pitbull she is well mannered after getting settled in.

HEARTWORM POSITIVE! Tank is a 2 year old male basset who came to us from a local area shelter. He was relinquished because his former owner got 2 dogs and they were too much to handle. He is good with other dogs, not cat tested. He has tested positive for HW so we are not able to neuter him until after his treatment which will be about 3mo. We will pay all his vetting BUT he will need to come back to our Columbus vet a few times for treatment and kept on cage rest during part of his treatment.
