Inara is a 3yr old female German Shepherd. She is very timid from her unknown past. She loves to play, give lots of kiss, and to cuddle. I need to give her up for personal reason this would be her 3rd home since the pound so l want to find her a good loving but permanent home. She behaves very well! Great with walks and knows basic commands. She is already chipped and up to date on shots. So far she has been great with both Ig and sm dogs and kids! She would come with a bed, crate, toys, grooming tools, leashes, and collars!

Story
6mo old Australian Shepard/ cattle dog mix named Cash. Born Feb 29th. We have had him since he was 8weeks old. He is very sweet, loves to cuddle, smiles when getting scratched. He is crate trained and knows basic commands. Gets along great with other dogs and kids. He is up to date on shots but is not nuetured yet. He is a high energy dog and is just a lot for my family with a toddler and baby on the way. Looking for a family that can give him the love and attention he deserves.

Brooklyn is approximately 4 yrs old.  She can be shy with new people at first but if given time she warms up and enjoys attention. We are unaware of how she is with kids and cats.  She should meet any new dog before adoption is approved and a decision is made. She does have accidents in her kennel so she may need housetrained.  She does know some commands and will work for food. Here is a link to a TikTok video of her: https://www.tiktok.com/@caninemoon/video/7197577053695249706?lang=en Anyone interested in her must meet her and complete an application, in person, before a decision will be made for her adopter.

Story
Bo will need a home that is super patient and willing to give him time to decompress.  You will also have to come to the shelter more than once to visit with him. He is fine with our staff but takes time to warm up to ALL new people.  He reacts ok to some dogs but MUST meet and new housemates.  He was in a home prior to coming here, for a short time, and they said he would growl at their children from time to time (which is why they brought him to us).  So we suggest NO children.   Anyone interested in meeting him MUST come to the shelter and complete an application if you decide you would like to be considered.   ***better photos will be posted soon Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.

Story
Meadow was with the original owner since she was a puppy. Domestic issues meant they had to give him up to the Humane Society in the fall of 2022. The dogs had been starved of attention for several months as well as had inconsistent feeding. They'd also been left alone for extended periods of time. Because of that, we recommend that she not be in a home with small children that may disturb her when eating or try to take things away from her. Despite his last few months at home, since she's been with the Humane Society, she's shown that she's smart, great with other dogs, is okay with cats (but will chase them), receives correction well, and keeps a clean crate. She is good on a leash and will go to the bathroom in a fenced in area or on a leash. She does fear things being taken away from her and will need an experienced adopter to avoid issues. She's a counter surfer and has mild separation anxiety (will jump fences to get to her person). She can be fearful until she gets to know you. Unless you're a man - that will take a little longer! Meadow is an incredible dog with a ton of potential with someone that is willing to work with her and get to know her well. She would make an incredible companion.
