Story
Adjusts spectacles. Clears throat. Speaks in flawless English with a hint of distinguished charm. Greetings, future household staff. My name is Chleo — yes, with an “h.” It’s refined. I arrived as a stray on 2/19/26, which frankly feels like a clerical error, as I am clearly meant for a life of velvet cushions and intellectual discourse. The shelter estimates I am about a year old, which I find appropriate — old enough to have mastered the basics of civilization, young enough to still sprint joyfully through it. Let us address the obvious: I am absolutely stunning. Symmetry. Radiance. Poise. If beauty were a thesis, I would be peer-reviewed and published. But I am not merely a pretty face. I am, as the scholars say, a smart cookie. I sit. I shake. I strongly suspect I could balance a budget and possibly solve a mild riddle if properly motivated with treats. My energy level? Delightfully balanced. I enjoy a spirited romp with toys (which I can entertain myself with, thank you very much — independence is important), but I am not what one would call “chaotic.” I prefer the term enthusiastically composed. Now, let us discuss my greatest academic interest: You. I adore attention. I thrive on pets. I consider laps to be an advanced seating arrangement designed specifically for my comfort. If you sit, I shall likely join you. It is what philosophers call mutual enrichment. In summary: I am brilliant. I am affectionate. I am beautiful. I am accepting applications for the prestigious role of “Forever Family.” You may submit your credentials to the esteemed Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield. Telephone: 419-774-5892 Application requests: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov Please note: This is an application process. I do not simply go home with just anyone. Standards must be upheld. I look forward to reviewing your qualifications. With intellect and affection, Chleo 🐾

Story
Meet Krissy!! 💁‍♀️✨ Krissy strutted in as a stray on 1/9/26, and we think she’s about 3 years old. Just LOOK at that smile—she knows she’s gorgeous and she’s not afraid to show it. This big, beautiful girl is full of energy, happiness, and main-character vibes. Treats? Meh. Toys? Kinda. Attention? YES, PLEASE. Krissy’s love language is 100% human admiration, and she’s happiest when all eyes (and hands) are on her. She’s super sweet, very affectionate, and always ready to charm her way into your heart. If you’re looking for a confident, joyful, attention-loving best friend, Krissy is your girl. She’s available for adoption, so don’t keep her waiting—she’s got places to be and people to impress! 📍 Krissy is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov Adoption is an application process 🐾

Story
Thor is a 1 yr old (born April 24, 2024) German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He is currently around 50 lbs. He is social, good with other dogs and has been around cats. He lived his entire short life outdoors so he will require obedience training, house training and learn how to live inside.   Our hope is that we can send him to the prison for training once we have an opening.  He arrived here with several other dogs from the same property.   If you are interested in Thor or one of his companions/siblings please contact the shelter OR stop in during regular business hours. Application applies with an approval process.    Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747April 29, 2025, 1:12 pm

Story
Meet Renee Renee is one of our absolute staff favorites — and we can’t believe she’s still waiting for her person. She often gets overlooked because she seems scared and unsure in her kennel. The shelter environment just isn’t her comfort zone. But the moment you take her out? It’s like meeting a completely different dog. Outside the kennel, Renee transforms into a total lovebug. She’s a lap dog at heart, soaking up affection and bonding quickly with her people. She’s also an adventure buddy through and through — always ready to explore, go for a hike, take a car ride, or join you on whatever fun the day brings. Renee is incredibly smart — honestly, a little too smart for her own good! She listens beautifully, picks up on cues quickly, and truly wants to please. With her fantastic listening skills and eager-to-learn personality, she would thrive with someone who enjoys an active, engaged companion. Renee just needs someone to look past the shy kennel exterior and see the amazing, loyal, fun-loving dog she truly is. Once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.

Story
Meet Brooks!! This handsome hunk came in as a stray on 12/4/25, and we think he’s about 2 years old. Brooks is absolutely gorgeous — and a big guy — but no one has told him that! He has no idea how large and strong he is, which becomes very clear when he decides your lap is exactly where he belongs. Brooks hasn’t quite mastered personal space or polite manners yet, but he is smart and eager to learn. With guidance, structure, and someone willing to teach him, he’ll blossom into the well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. Brooks is available for adoption, so hurry in to meet this lovable goofball! Brooks is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 It is an application process — you can request an application at dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov
