Story
Noodle was a surprise foster dog for me, my first ever! He currently stays with me & my 2 other dogs & 4 cats. He sometimes annoys my cats so I would suggest a home with cats familiar with dogs. He loves to play in my fenced yard with toys, bubbles, the garden hose & his new favorite toy a jolly ball. He plays by himself very well. His previous home wasn't full of love or consistency. Noodle faced times of being kenneled 24/7 with no food & was treated unkindly by everyone, including kids at times when he was kenneled. He would potentially do fine in a home with older kids that can understand boundaries & be respectful of space. He's made leaps & bounds in my care & has been with me since Mid September. I now feel confident that he's ready for his forever home. He does fine in his kennel now & knows some several commands. Our local community loves him online & sponsored $100 of his $150 adoption fee. He has a basket full of his favorite toys & treats ready to take him with him.

Story
We rescued Rocky. We found him malnourished and all skin and bones. Since then we have been feeding him a good diet and we’re already seeing improvement. However, Rocky is not good with kids. He has not bitten but just looks I uncomfortable around him but that may just need time. Rocky is a little bit aggressive when it comes to food but that shouldny be a problem after some proper training due to the fact his previous owners didn’t feed him or take care of him right. He has an amazing character. Loves baths, doesn’t mind the groomer, and loves the snow!! I’m completely heartbroken to have to find him a good home. However my nieces and nephews come over on the regular and I don’t feel comfortable with him being around them. He has so much potential just needs someone to put that time in for him.

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
