My son’s dog had pups and I thought maybe my chihuahua could use a friend. Well she is not having it at all. I have tried for almost a year and nothing is better. I keep them separate because my chihuahua does not want to share. Nelly deserves a home.

Story
Are you known as the class clown or life of the party? If so, we’ve got just the dog to match your vibes! Meet Chuck! Chuck is an outgoing, playful, medium-sized goofball who is sure to make you laugh! He loves chew toys, running around in the yards or going for long walks, and practicing his basic obedience. (He's a pro at his basic commands and will learn just about anything for a snack!) Chuck enjoys playgroups with other dogs, but at home he does prefer to be your one-and-only. But don't worry, this boy has enough love and cuddles to supply the whole family! In the words of his foster, "Simply being around you isn’t enough for him, he needs to be on top of you. He is also very trusting--as long as you’re petting him, he’ll like you. He doesn’t know any strangers." In other words, he's the perfect personal space heater for you as the weather starts to cool down. He's also housebroken, crate-trained, and eager to please. Basically, he's a whole lot of goodness in a fun-sized package. If you’re looking for a fun-loving best friend who brings the good vibes wherever he goes, Chuck is ready to be your partner in comedy, cuddles, and all-around good times. This pet 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.

Story
Tamarindo is a fun-sized bundle of joy with a heart as big as her zoomies! This bouncy girl is always up for adventure whether it’s sniffing out every corner of the yard like a little explorer, chasing after her favorite ball in a game of fetch, or gleefully running through the sprinkler like it’s the best day ever (because for her, it is!). At about 35 lbs, Tamarindo is the perfect medium-sized companion. She’s playful, curious, and so happy to just being around people who enjoy life as much as she does. If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts silly, sweet, and spirited, Tamarindo might just be your perfect match. This pet 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.

Story
Mr. Lou is a 1.5-year-old, 30-pound bundle of love who can’t wait to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will soak up every bit of affection you’re willing to give, this sweet boy is your guy! Mr. Lou is a professional snuggler and a certified couch potato. Whether it’s curling up for movie night or sprawling out beside you for a lazy afternoon, he’s happiest when he’s close to his people. He also has a goofy and playful side especially when squeaky toys are involved. They’re his absolute favorite! He enjoys exploring the outdoors, taking casual walks, and sniffing everything along the way. He has done well with other dogs while in the shelter but can be a bit needy and protective of his food and attention so he may do better as the only dog in the home. If you’re ready for a loving, loyal, and slightly goofy best friend, Mr. Lou is waiting to meet you! Let him fill your home with warmth, wiggles, and countless snuggles.
