Story
Alan: A 70lb Couch Potato Who Wants to Be Your Yardwork Assistant! Are you looking for a loyal companion to keep you company while you work outside? Meet Alan! He is a 2-to-4-year-old Lab/Pittie/Working dog mix who weighs 70 pounds. Because of his working roots, Alan thrives when he feels like he has a "job" to do—making him the perfect partner for life on a farm, acreage, or a home with a big yard to patrol. Proven to Be Good in Public Pet Store Approved: Alan just attended his first public adoption event at a bustling local pet store and did phenomenally well. He handled the crowd, met tons of strangers, and greeted other dogs beautifully. Outdoor Companion: Perfect for anyone who works in their yard, garage, or field and wants a shadow-like buddy. Leash & Crate Trained: Walks beautifully on a leash and goes to his kennel for a treat. He is fully house-broken, though a big burst of excitement can occasionally cause a minor accident if he hasn't been out in a while. Great with Other Animals: He easily shares his favorite orange rubber ring with other dogs. He currently coexists beautifully with dogs of all sizes and senior cats. Slow Introductions Please Alan is a confident boy, but a past ACL injury leaves him with a slight limp and a bit of caution around new people in his personal space. He asks his human friends to approach low—avoiding reaching over his head—and let him come to you. A few treats and some ear scratches will quickly seal the deal, turning him into a total velcro dog. He is also fantastic with kids of all ages and is a certified gentleman when wearing his muzzle. Ideal Home: A home with some outdoor space or a daily routine where he can tag along on your chores and feel helpful. How to Meet Alan: Alan is being fostered through HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned) located at 3346 Jasper Rd, Xenia, OH 45385.

Story
Some things just belong together. Peanut butter and jelly. Mac and cheese. Tom and Jerry. This bonded pair does everything as a team. They eat together, nap together, explore together, and yes, even potty at the same time. Wherever one goes, the other isn't far behind! Because they thrive in a home-like setting, Tom and Jerry are currently staying with our friends at HALO K9 Rescue, and they've been the perfect housemates. House-trained, respectful indoors, and quick to settle in. They even stay calm and focused passing other barking dogs on the way to their room. They might greet new faces with a burst of enthusiastic barking, but don't let that fool you. Once they know you're a friend, especially if popcorn is involved, their sweet, affectionate sides come right out. They're food motivated and love a good training session when treats are on the table. More than anything, Tom and Jerry are looking for a family who will love them the way they already love each other. Their bond is something special, and it's not something you see every day. If you're ready to open your heart to two best friends instead of one, Tom and Jerry are ready to meet you. Adoption fee includes spay, vaccinations, and microchip.
