Story
I acquired buddy about 7 years ago, I found him on a Facebook post about puppies for sale. He is up to date on all of his shotsBuddy would do best in a single dog household, with someone who enjoys physical activities. Buddy is a sweetheart who loves affection and playing, he will cuddle up on the bed with you as long as you pet him.Buddy can be reactive to people trying to groom him, picking him up, and bathing him, so he will probably need someone who has patience, and experience with this kind of dog.Additional comments: Buddy has tried to get along with other dogs over the years, females more so than males, but does not do very well when it comes to playing. He’s very vocal.Typically has done well with kids in the past, but hasn’t experienced a lot of it.As of 11-06-26 he is fully groomed, nails trimmed, and teeth cleaned

Story
☕🐾 Meet Mocha! 🐾☕Mocha is a 7-month-old, 30-pound hound mix who is looking for a second chance at the happily-ever-after she deserves! ❤️Mocha was adopted as a puppy, but she has found her way back to the shelter because she didn't receive the training she needed. She's still a young girl with so much potential, and with the right home, consistency, and guidance, she has plenty of time to grow into an amazing companion.As a hound mix, Mocha will need a home that understands the hound lifestyle! That means giving her opportunities to explore, sniff, stay active, and use her nose, along with providing the training and enrichment she needs to thrive. She's a sweet girl who deserves more than just a place to live — she deserves a home that understands her needs and is willing to help her succeed.Mocha is an amazing girl with so much life ahead of her. She just needs someone willing to give her a chance and help her become the best dog she can be. 🐶💕Please don't let her return to the shelter be the end of her story. Give Mocha the chance to grow up in a home that loves her, guides her, and gives her the life she deserves! 🏡❤️An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt. Dog adoption fees are $250.00 for all puppies and adult dogs. Seniors are a donation of choice.Cats and kittens are minimum donation $50.00

Story
Meet Babs! Babs is estimated to be around 12 years old but you would be surprised to see how high she jumps (straight in the air!) when she sees someone she knows! She's equally excited about her food and treats too! Babs loves to go for walks and walks very politely on the leash. She and another dog came to us after being found by the Wood County Dog Shelter tied to farm equipment.  She is more than ready to retire with the amenities of an indoor dog lifestyle  Kids: Babs is an older dog who may need to be homed with kids older than 12 as to understand and respect animal boundaries. Dogs: Babs does not like other dogs. Cats: Babs does not like cats and should not be homed with them. Babs is spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on all vaccinations and preventions. For more information or to schedule a meet-n-greet, please call us at 419-352-7339 or email us at wchsadopt@gmail.com ##2852401##

Story
She is anxious, nervous, and barky at first. When she warms up, she is just the sweetest, most loving, attentive, nurturing, lap-baby you ever met! She has been with us for 10 years of our journey across the land as an Army family and now we are settling here in Ohio. My in-laws were allergic, so we had to get a place pretty fast for the dogs and wound up in a two bedroom apartment that is tiny and split our family (husband now has to stay at his parents because only 5 people can be here, so it's tiiiny.) She has been miserable and lethargic, she is literally the best dog in the entire world and she deserves the moon, the idea of letting go kills me, but I will for the right person ONLY. I think she'd do better with a woman. She is gentle and sweet to our mini-dachshund, loving to my 4 kids that she has helped raise, and she is a dog that likes to go, even running errands all day in the car she is down for the ride! I want to build a rapport and know our girl will be loved!

Story
We were brought Sadie about 7 days ago. We do not know a lot about dogs and did not realize the amount of exercise and training and what a time commitment she would be. Neither did we realize she would keep growing. Sadie is a female. We are told She is around 8 months old. She is potty trained and is good with our 10 and 14 year old kids. However, she is strong and pulls when she sees a squirrel, bunny, cat, etc and the kids can’t handle her in these situations. She eats well, poops and pees just fine and rests well too. We do not have a fence nor the time to exercise her as needed and to train her as needed. She needs a good home with a more qualified family. Because the kids are needed to take her out when they get home from school and this is sometimes hard for them to handle her - we would like to surrender her as soon as possible.
