Story
We are rehoming our 4 year old female Great Dane. She is a super sweet girl but since we have brought our baby home she has become very jealous, lost weight and isnt coping well with the change. We want her to find a home that she is happy and can thrive in. She does well with other male dogs and older children. She is a couch potato and cuddle bug. She is not spayed but has never been bred. She is tall and lean. She is not papered. We just want her to find the best home possible. She eats Victor Dog Food and we will be sending a gallon size bag with her to her new home. We will also be sending her favorite blanket and toys with her. Feel free to reach out with any questions

Story
Meet Ruby! She’s a fun, friendly, and cuddly dog who loves being around people. Ruby has lots of energy and enjoys playing, running around, and getting treats. She knows commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “stay,” and learns quickly when treats are involved. Ruby loves to snuggle, sit in your lap, and lean in for pets. She can get a little jumpy or mouthy when she’s excited, but she listens well and calms down with some gentle direction. She enjoys sunbathing, chewing on toys, and meeting new people. Ruby is ready for a home where she’ll get love, attention, and plenty of playtime! 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
Everyone around here is talking about Hiccup, (yeah we know silly name, but it fits a silly guy.) Hiccup brings boundless energy, floppy-eared determination, and just the right amount of drool to every adventure. His favorite pastime is giving love—big, slobbery, unconditional love. Basically, he’s your emotional support potato with legs. We don't know too much about his background since he was brought in as a stray, however we can say he loves everyone he has met and he is super pumped to meet you! 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
Were you the "class clown" in school? Are you known as "the life of the party"? If so, you may have just found a kindred spirit! Aldo is one of the goofiest, most playful dogs we've ever met. He loves toys of all kind – squeaky toys, chew toys, stuffed toys – Aldo isn’t picky! He's a "social butterfly" who enjoys meeting new people and participating in play groups with the other dogs at SICSA. If you have a dog at home who also loves to play, we think he'd enjoy having a friend to run around the yard with! Aldo is only a year old at most, so he's still very much a puppy who wants to explore the world, learn new tricks, and make new friends. If you’re looking for a pup to join you on all your adventures, Aldo is ready to go! 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
Do you believe in magic? You will once you meet Sadie, the 30-pound happiness sprite disguised as a small black dog. She floated into our shelter on a cloud of friendship alongside her bestie Brownie (SIC-A-94926)—but don’t let her size fool you, this little lady’s tail has the power of a thousand sparkles. It wags so fast, we’re pretty sure she can generate enough energy to power a small city (or at least charge your phone). Looking for a loyal sidekick to follow you around with googly eyes and a tail blur? A compact cuddle machine with fairy energy and the sweetness of a sugar cube dipped in love? Then Sadie’s your girl. Come meet Sadie and let the magic begin. Bonus: she comes with a built-in serotonin booster. (Also known as her face.) 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.
