My name is Boone and I have been at the shelter since 2024. For a senior dog I am very active- I like to run and play fetch. I do very well on the leash and would make a great walking buddy. I also do good for my baths. I love meeting people, and love getting belly rubs. I would like to be the only dog in the household.

Story

Hi, I'm Ruger! I love playing and running around with my friends! I love dogs of all sizes and I seem to like cats, too! I've been here since I was a puppy (I came here in August of 2022!) so I can be a bit shy with new people but I am so sweet and loving when I know you! I love cuddles and pets! I would do best in a home without small children because I don't understand how big I am and I may knock over small children when I'm running and playing. I find strange men to be really scary but I'm trying really hard to work on that. I may do best in a home without men or at least a home who is willing to help me overcome that. I have lots of energy so I will need someone who will give me lots of exercise! I love swimming in my pool when it's hot out! I really like car rides and I would love to ride away with you!

Cocoa

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

Zanesville, OH

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I am Cocoa, a 4 year old German Shepherd. I was brought into The Shelter in September of 2025 because I was not treated well by my previous family. I am very social and friendly; I like my belly rubbed and to play fetch- my favorite toy is a squeaky ball. I am very smart and learn quickly and have been working on some basic commands and walking on a leash here. I like playing with other dogs and have some friends here, but for some other dogs my energy can be a lot, although I am good about entertaining myself and backing off If another dog asks for space. I will need to be in a home where I can have plenty of exercise and fresh air with someone that has experience with my breed. I am very strong and don't know I don't fit in your lap, so I would not do well in a home with children under 10 years old.
