Story
We resecued Zeek 3 months ago from his original home where he was left to roam the neighborhood and was picked up by the dog pound. My daughter sent a Me a picture a Zeke. And I fell in love with him right away. He was very sick when I first got him, ear infections , worms and got him caught up on all shots. We have a huge fenced in yard.. my husband and I are both retired and thought we would make the perfect home. What we didn’t realize was his size brought a very strong dog. He is well behaved, but we are older and fragile and Zeke needs a family.

Story
Mya's background is unknown, but she was found abandoned by a dog breeder in 2021. After being rescued, she was adopted by my mother, but tensions with the family dog led me to take her in. Although I initially planned to rehome her, I soon learned she's house-trained and knows basic commands. However, my busy lifestyle doesn't allow for much attention. Mya would thrive in a home with a backyard, as her energy is better suited for more space than my apartment provides. She's laid-back and friendly with people and visitors, but she's curious and occasionally chases cats or small animals. While she's not hostile toward children, she could benefit from training to get used to cats. Groomers describe her as an angel with a little anxiety as she does get nervous at the groomers but never difficult. Due to my work schedule and rising pet costs, I'm seeking a home that can better meet her needs. We suspect she's vaccinated as she has never shown signs of diseases or illnesses since rescue.

Story
My name is Jhar Jhar, Im and Australian Shepherd and Pocket Pitbull mix, I have become taller than my brothers and Sisters but I'm also more unique my eyes have a blu-ish Gray tint, I'm full of energy and walk with a unique stride. Show boatish, I'm very smart and dense at times I think my body isn't grown in my legs lol. I got my first round of shots when I was 4 weeks old.no one has ever chose me as there companion because of my size compared to the rest of the litter. My owner has went through a rough time losing his home to taxes, not only he but me and my brother and sis are also homeless. I promise if you pay attention to me, I will learn fast and protect my family with all my heart. Just someone to pay attention to me, is all I need to be happy.i have been with other dogs my whole life 7 months.my owner is running out of time as am I. I really need a new home. My bark is intimidating but I love to play and chase sticks, toys, for anything you throw. Pick Me Jhar!

Story
Mama was born in Columbus and bought by a friend of mine, my friend asked me to foster mama for a month while they moved. We’re going into 2 months of fostering and my friend can not have her due to breed restrictions at the new place. Unfortunately we can not keep her due to having too many animals while renting. This includes 2 cans and another small dog who she gets along with amazingly. We’ve also run into the issue of not having enough time for her, she needs to have a yard where she can run around and get energy out. She is very well behaved and listens incredibly well she loves laying next to you in her bed. She’s a cuddle baby. She does have a slight jumping issue which we have worked a lot on so it’s not too bad anymore. She’s just turned one in July on the 16th. She needs a loving family! Please reach out if you can help in any way.
