Story
This is Harley! He was rescued by his current foster. He’s been undergoing training for basic obedience skills and has been excelling! So far Harley has been exposed to cats and children, and has done excellent with both. He has not been introduced to dogs yet, but shows no signs of aggression. We believe he would be a great playmate to another dog. He is currently unfixed, but he is still a bit young to undergo the surgery. He approximate his age to be under 1 year old - usually we like to wait until after 1 year, but that would be up to the adopter. He has had his rabies shot and is scheduled to have his others shortly. We will pay for neutering! He is potty trained! Very energetic and would do well with an athletic household or somewhere with a place for him to run. An absolute sweetheart that is eager to please. Come meet him and see if he would be the right fit for your family! Comes with a bed, collar, leash, toys, and food.

Story
Bruce is a very, very sweet dog, but we need to be clear: Bruce has never experienced a single thought. Not one. We’re pretty sure there is a very large cheese wheel where his brain should be. (He really loves cheese.) Bruce is wonderful at playing, zooming, cuddling, and following his nose, but critical thinking? No. He's done well with other dogs. He would definitely fail algebra. He’s a goober, and we love him for it. This cheese loving goofball is available through SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center, located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, OH 45458. We are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm-7pm. To schedule an appointment or inquire about walk-in availability, you can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.
