Story
This is sage our 6 year old golden doodle. We’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old and his birthday is 7/24/19. He is a fun, energetic dog looking for a new home to love on him! He’s never had an accident in the home. He loves to go for walks and all the attention! I think he would be best suited in a home with older kids. We have young kids that he just doesn’t have the patience for. Kids 8+ would be ideal!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Cambria!   Cambria is a very sweet, beautiful girl with very cool coloring and markings!  She loves to run around and play with her sister and her toys! She loves squeaky toys and high-quality chew toys. She loves to cuddle next to you after she is done running around getting her energy out! She loves to cuddle next to you or she will even cuddle up in her puppy bed and nap. She will need a little variety of toys to keep her busy and entertained. She loves to be held and give puppy kisses!   We are guessing she is a boxer mix, and our best guess is she will grow up to be a medium sized girl. Her mother was found as a stray and had eight puppies! They were all very lucky to get into rescue to all live their best lives now.   She is being fostered with her sister, Callie. She is doing well with crate training and will sleep throughout the night. She is just starting potty training and will need a family with patience and consistency to continue her training. I am using the bell training method, and it is going well, but will need to be reinforced continuously with treats and positive reinforcement.   She is an active girl and will need a lot of exercise, walks and park time. She will be the perfect adventure girl! She would love hiking and park time with her new family.   She will need continued socializing and play time with other pups! She would LOVE doggie daycare to get structured play and play time. She does well with cats and is being fostered with cats and kittens.   She is a VERY smart girl, and we HIGHLY encourage obedience/behavior training for all of our pups once adopted into their forever homes. If you live an active lifestyle and are ready to bring this adorable girl into your home, she is ready for some meet and greets to meet her family! She will be officially ready for adoption on December 17th.  $400 Adoption Fee . Columbus , Ohio adoptions only please .
