Story
Formie is a gentle giant weighing about 97 lbs. He loves to snuggle, lounge with his people, and go for walks, though he tires fairly quickly. He loves everyone he meets and does great with other dogs. He also likes cats, although he may chase them!Formie is completely house trained and has always been trusted to roam freely, even when home alone for 8–10 hours. He doesn’t get into trash or destroy things, although he will happily destroy dog toys to find the squeaker! Tough bones are his favorite.Formie has been with me since 6 weeks old and has lived in homes and apartments. He has been especially sweet with my daughter and allows her to pet, hug, and touch him all over. He understands “gentle” and takes treats carefully.He does well at the vet and knows sit, wait, lay down, turn around, shake, “go,” and “no bark.” He has environmental allergies that can cause skin irritation/infections but does well with allergy treatment and regular care.Formie is as close to perfect as you can get

Story
Meet the incredibly gorgeous Ruby 😍 Ruby is an adorably sweet girl, estimated to be 3 years old and is a spayed female American Pit/Staffie mix (Wisdom panel already performed). She is updated on everything and microchipped. She is house and crate trained. Overall, what this girl wants is to be with her human and dog pack. She loves to play in the yard with toys and dog friends. She is submissive to big dogs, but is assertive with dogs her size and smaller. No cats or small animals for this girl! She loves tug o war with a big rope, and to fetch her Kong toys. She has a competitive spirit and is learning not to nip her humans playing with her. It is recommended that she be in a home with children 6+ or no small children as she has a rough play style and doesn't yet understand her own strength. She tends to play rough with her furry friends, but not in an aggressive way with humans or fellow fur friends. Ruby is working on leash manners, as she tends to pull and will lunge at wildlife and other small animals (squirrels, cats, etc). She is medium energy and thrives with a routine of walking, playing inside/outside, and napping. Ruby loves to snuggle on the couch with her pack for meals and also join them in bed (but she is crate trained). She can self-occupy entertain herself with Benebones (her favorite) and other tough-chewer toys. In her foster home, she has only had one destructive incident (she was unsupervised for a moment), so she is trusted anywhere in the house.

Story
Picture this: You’ve had a long day at work. The weather is dreary. Things are just…glum. But then, you feel a warm puppy head press against your leg. That’s Shaza’s way of asking for pets and offering you a bit of sunshine, even on the gloomiest days. Shaza came from an overcrowded county shelter, so we don’t know much about her past. What we do know is that she’s SO sweet, it’s enough to cause cavities! She’s also smart, eager to learn in exchange for treats, and loves entertaining herself by throwing around a toy. She does well in a crate and was very polite about not begging for her foster mom's food--even though she REALLY LOVES human food treats like cheese, chicken, pepperoni, and peanut butter. She has some of the cutest zoomies we’ve ever seen. AND. THE. EARS! Honestly, what's not to love about this gal? Give us a call or stop in to learn how to meet her! 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.
