Story

I am looking for a new family for my 9 year old Pitt mix, Allie. I need to find a new home for Allie because isn’t her best self around small children. My partner has a toddler. Allie nipped at her daughter out of nowhere, and we are moving in together this summer. Sadly, finding her a new home is the best plan for everyone’s well- being. Allie is very sweet, will snuggle next to you on the couch, and sometimes will lay curled up in a ball next to you when you go to bed. She likes to be covered with a blanket when she’s snuggling, and sometimes will grumble if she isn’t, I will provide her blankets.) Allie LOVES chew toys; you have to get the Mega-chew type! Stuffed dog toys don’t last very long with her. Although she is a senior; dog, she loves to go for walks. She is good with other dogs, is still quite playful, and has been fine around cats. If she is with another dog, they have to be fed apart from eachother, as she has had issues with food agression in the past.

Ruby

Beagle Mutt

Female, Adult

Newark, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We have had Ruby for about 3 yrs. This sweet girl is a 7-9 y.o. beagle x terrier/sharpei(? - purple tongue and kinked tail) mix. She came from a coworker’s divorce situation and formerly lived with 2 other dogs and 3 cats. When we brought her home, she did not get along well with our established dogs, leading to a minor altercation, but she seemed to still like cats. Over the last 3 yrs, she has had multiple wetting accidents in the house, sometimes even in her sleep. We are shampooing spots at least 1x a week. She has been checked out by a few different vets who cannot find anything wrong with her after multiple urinalysis, ultrasounds, and examinations - leading them and us to believe that it is a behavioral issue. She is food motivated and possessive of her bowl and has recently started going after our blind indoor cat - unprovoked. I believe she would be best suited for an active younger person/couple with no other pets. Sadly, we just cannot give her what she needs anymore.

Peanut was a previous shelter dog that was trained in the prison.
