Meet Georgia!! This classy gal strutted into the shelter as a stray on 10/24/25, and we think she’s about 5 years old. Don’t let her initial shyness fool you — Georgia warms up fast once she realizes you’re part of her fan club. We’re pretty sure she used to live the good life, because the moment she spotted the bench, she hopped right up like “Ah yes, my throne.” This girl clearly believes furniture is for queens — and she is most definitely one. 👑 Georgia is sweet, friendly, and absolutely powered by treats. She’s looking for a forever home with someone who appreciates her refined taste and snuggle potential. She is available for adoption now, so hurry in to meet her before someone else claims this couch-loving cutie! 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📩 Applications can be requested via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov

🎬 Now Casting: Monroe!! 🎬 Straight out of a sitcom, here comes Monroe—the lovable, slightly awkward neighbor who just showed up as a stray on 8/19/25. We think he’s about 4 years old, but honestly, his goofy charm is timeless. At first, he might peek around the corner like, “Oh hey…uh…is this seat taken?” because new people and new places can make him a little skittish. But give him a minute, and suddenly he’s bursting through the door with tail wags, zoomies, and the kind of playful energy that deserves its own laugh track. He’s athletic enough to chase a tennis ball but not so coordinated that he won’t occasionally trip over his own feet (classic Monroe move). And when the episode slows down for the heartfelt moment, he’ll be right there with affectionate cuddles, proving he’s the star of your show. So grab your popcorn, because this sweet and funny guy is ready to be adopted into your family sitcom. Don’t miss your chance—Monroe’s best episodes are still ahead! 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter, Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 Applications: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov

She’s zooming around like a furry tornado, striking dramatic play bows, and—mid-zoom—stopping just long enough to plant a perfect smooch on your face. Honestly, who needs therapy when you’ve got Carrie Ann kisses? 😘 She’s playful, sweet, and basically a four-legged joy factory. Your life will instantly improve the second she graces it.

Meet Idgie!! She strutted into the shelter as a stray on 11/7/25, and we think she’s about 3 years old—but honestly, she acts like she’s been running her own luxury spa for years. Idgie is stunning, sweet, and affectionate… basically, she’s the dog version of a rom-com lead who steals your heart in the first five minutes. She knows how to sit (fancy, right?) and loves treats so much she might just audition for a cooking show if snacks were involved. She’s basically a little bundle of charm wrapped in fur, with a side of sass and a dash of “please pet me immediately.” Idgie will be the ultimate companion for some very lucky family or individual—warning: she may also inspire spontaneous photo shoots, random giggles, and an unreasonable number of treat-based negotiations. She is available for adoption—so hurry in to meet this little superstar before she steals someone else’s heart (and snacks). Idgie is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH Phone: 419-774-5892 It is an application process. You can request one via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov .
