🚨 Alert: Certified Good Boy Available 🚨 Meet Chase! This handsome devil strolled into the Richland County Dog Shelter like he owned the place on 7/13/25. We estimate he’s about 5 years old, but he claims he doesn’t look a day over 3. Chase is already neutered—so clearly someone once knew a good thing when they saw it. Chase is sweet, friendly, and has never met a tennis ball he didn’t immediately fall in love with. Seriously, the guy could go pro. He’s playful, charming, and the kind of dog who will make you laugh every single day… mostly by being a lovable goofball. Looking for a loyal best friend with a wagging tail and a heart of gold? Boom—there's Chase. 🏡 Available now at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 Call 419-774-5892 to ask about this furry legend 📧 Adoption is by application—email dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov to snag one Tennis balls not included.

Story
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 .

Story
Meet Reggie!! 🎉 Reggie came in as a stray on 2/3/26, is about 2 years old, and has approximately 1,000% enthusiasm for life. This handsome hunk is super sweet, wildly playful, and firmly believes every human exists solely to play with him. Toys? Yes. People? Also yes. Playing with people using toys? His favorite sport. Reggie loves to snuggle—but only after he’s zoomed, bounced, and partied his way through the room first. He’s strong and pulls hard on the leash, so walking him currently feels a bit like being drafted into an impromptu CrossFit workout. With some training (and maybe a good pair of sneakers), he’ll be unstoppable. If you’re looking for a dog who brings the energy, the laughs, and the love, Reggie is your guy. He’s basically a personal trainer, comedian, and cuddle buddy all rolled into one. 🏃‍♂️🐾 Reggie is available for adoption—hurry in before he drags someone else down the hallway! 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter – Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📝 It is an application process. Request one via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov Warning: adopting Reggie may result in sore arms, a full heart, and nonstop smiles 💙🐶

✨Meet Lady Glitter Sparkles✨ Yes. That is her government name. And yes—she earned it. Lady Glitter Sparkles arrived as a stray on 3/11/26, likely after finishing a world tour of being fabulous and sprinkling joy (and probably a little chaos) wherever she went. At about 2 years old, she is in her prime: confident, charming, and fully aware that she is, in fact, the moment. She is a pretty girl who absolutely lives up to her name—minus the actual glitter (we checked… mostly). She’s incredibly sweet, super friendly, and operates under one very important belief system: “Everyone I meet is my best friend, and every hot dog belongs to me.” Speaking of hot dogs… if you have one, congratulations—you now have Lady Glitter Sparkles’ full attention, loyalty, and possibly your personal space revoked. She will love you deeply, immediately, and with zero hesitation. She may look like a big glamorous superstar in her photos, but plot twist—she’s actually around 40 lbs of pure sparkle and sass. Compact. Portable. Perfect for your everyday life upgrade. Lady Glitter Sparkles is the kind of dog who turns heads, steals hearts, and probably assumes every room she enters has a spotlight. And honestly? She’s not wrong. ✨If your home is missing a little sparkle, a lot of personality, and a hot dog enthusiast with main character energy—your girl is waiting.✨ 📍 Lady Glitter Sparkles is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov Adoption is an application process—apply today and add a little ✨dazzle✨ to your life.

🎾 Meet Dixon: Professional Ball Enthusiast & Certified Good Boy 🎾 Meet Dixon!! He came in as a stray on 3/22/26, and we think he’s about 4 years old—but in his heart, he’s a full-time fun machine with zero plans of slowing down. Dixon is so cute and has a personality to match. His hobbies include: ✔️ Loving his blue ball with his whole entire soul ✔️ Going for walks like a leash-pro ✔️ Keeping his kennel squeaky clean (we love a tidy king 👑) ✔️ Sitting on command—especially if snacks are involved (which they should always be) He’s a smart, happy guy who knows how to have a good time but also has some great manners to go with it. Dixon would do best in a home with children 7 years and older, where he can be part of the fun without being overwhelmed. If you’re looking for a playful, well-rounded dog who will keep you smiling and maybe insist you carry a ball at all times… Dixon is your guy. ✨ He is available for adoption, so hurry in to meet him! ✨ Dixon is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov It is an application process.
