Story
🐾 Lucy – Lap Dog… According to LucyMeet Lucy, a 6-year-old black and white lady who has come to one very firm conclusion in life: she is absolutely a lap dog. The only small issue is that Lucy may be… slightly larger than the typical lap model.This confident girl has no hesitation climbing right up to be close to her people, convinced that if there’s a lap nearby, it was clearly made for her. Personal space? Lucy isn’t familiar with the concept—but she makes up for it with plenty of affection and personality.At 6 years old, Lucy has grown into a wonderful balance of playful and relaxed. She enjoys being around people, soaking up attention, and making sure she’s never too far away from the action.Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?

Story
Meet Layla!Through no fault of her own, Layla found herself at the shelter after being surrendered because of her habit of chewing…well…pretty much anything she could get her paws on. Shoes, toys, maybe a suspicious-looking pillow or two — Layla has definitely been known to redecorate!But here’s the thing about Layla: she’s so much more than that one little quirk. During her time at the shelter, she has shown everyone what a wonderful dog she truly is. Layla has been fantastic around other dogs and has even done well around cats, proving that she can be a great companion in a multi-pet household. She’s affectionate, friendly, and clearly just wants a place where she belongs.Like many dogs, Layla may simply need a little structure, plenty of appropriate toys, and some guidance to help channel her chewing into the right things. With patience, love, and maybe a good stash of durable chew toys, Layla has all the potential to thrive in a home again.Layla deserves a second chance — a family willing to see the sweet, loving dog behind the habit and give her the fresh start she’s been waiting for. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are ready to help Layla write her next chapter, she’s ready to meet you. 💛🐶Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?
