Story
Xander (4 years old, turns 5 on February 2nd) Xander is one of the sweetest and most unique dogs. He is a lover that prefers to stand between your legs looking up at you with his cute snagged tooth smile, especially while cooking. He loves hugs, cuddles, dancing, and simply just being around you!! The second you start petting him, he’ll let out the deepest loving sigh. If you stop, he’ll take your hand and place it back on him literally holding onto you tightly. He’s smart, goofy, and endlessly affectionate. He is a lover boy that just wants to be with you He is very bonded with Cooper and my hope is they can find a loving home together.

Story
Rehoming due to changes in my life that I can no longer care for them.Cooper is a Husky/German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is energetic and loves to play, but after 30–60 minutes of intentional exercise, training, or interaction, he’s happy to settle down and relax.His recall and loyalty are incredible. He does have some separation anxiety and will attempt to sing, though it sounds more like a dying seal. Thankfully, it lasts only a few minutes before he settles. Xander now too sings alongside cooper but his sounds like a little girl finding her loud voice lol, it’s hysterical. He has a few quirks though. If he isn’t getting enough mental or physical stimulation, he does chasing the cats or counter surfing is a solution for entertainment and may steal something harmless like a fork just to get your attention. He is a very loyal, aims to please you dog, loves to be with his peopleThey are bonded, and my greatest hope is that they can stay together.

Yes Good with cats? No Good with kids? 12yr+ Commands known: Sit, Stay, Come. Needs fenced in yard? Yes Need another dog in the home? No Location: Columbus Energy level (high/med/low)? High/Medium. Artemis needs to get outside and run every day. If you give him a hour of activity each day he will be on his best behavior. Bio: Artemis is the perfect companion for someone who stays active! He loves to go for a long walk and  play a good game of fetch. He loves to play with other dogs and does really well with other large dogs. Woody is crate trained and only slept in his crate for the first few weeks but recently we have allowed him to sleep on his dog bed at night. Woody does shed a lot but he will not get on furniture which makes cleaning up his hair easy. He is an excellent listener, if I tell him to sit and stay at the top of my steps he will be waiting there when I finish doing my laundry. Woody has the potential to be the best trained dog in his furever home. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Story
It's true! DACO (sounds like "taco") is as much a German Shepherd as he is a Pit, with a big dose of Aussie, too! No matter what breed make up this cutie is, Daco is one big, handsome character who will keep you laughing with his antics. Just watch him play with the stream of water from the garden hose, and your day immediately will be better! Daco is a happy, curious, enthusiastic goofball who is still learning his manners and how to read cues from his fellow pups when he starts to play too hard. He loves to be loved on, and he loves to learn. A home with a physically fenced yard where he can play freely and safely is a must. Homes with older kids would be preferred as well, simply due to Daco not being fully aware of his size. He needs a loving and firm "pack leader" who has energy to share with this pup. After spending that energy, Daco knows when to go to his crate or relax on the couch for rest time. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on a flea/tick preventative, crate trained, and house trained. Daco is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in learning if you and Daco are a good fit for each other, please contact us at 614.377.1777 or complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform

Story
Meet Enzo! 🐾 Enzo is an energetic 4-year-old dog looking for an active, committed home. He loves being outdoors, going on long walks, and having room to explore. He does very well with people and prefers larger-breed dogs; he has played successfully with Great Danes. He is not comfortable around small dogs or cats, so a home without them would be best. Enzo is house-trained and will go in a crate, but he does not enjoy being confined for long periods and prefers having space to move around. He is not a cuddly dog, but he has a wonderful personality and shows affection in his own way. He should remain leashed until he is fully comfortable in new surroundings and is not initially a free-roaming off-leash dog. Enzo has been rehomed once and is currently with his family, who feel they cannot meet his exercise and space needs. He is looking for a patient home that can provide structure, activity, stability, and understanding. With the right match, Enzo can be a wonderful adventure company

Story
🖤 Looking for the Perfect Forever Home – Meet Canela 🐾Canela is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd. She came into rescue after her owner’s work situation changed, leaving her spending long hours alone outside. Because she loves people so much and wanted attention, she began jumping the 4-foot fence in search of new friends. A kind neighbor kept her safe until her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her so she could find a home where she’d get the time, love, and companionship she deserves.Here is what her foster writes about Canela:"Over the time we’ve fostered Canela, we’ve fallen in love with what an amazing dog she truly is. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s with her people. She loves to cuddle, sleeps in bed with us, and proudly carries around her stuffed animals like they’re treasures. Canela is smart and eager to learn. She rides great in the truck, walks well on a leash, and enjoys running in a fenced yard. She can comfortably stay in her own room for 8+ hours if needed, although a home where someone works from home would be a wonderful bonus. She has interacted well with neighborhood kids and can do well with other dogs when given slow, proper introductions. She is not cat-friendly and has a high prey drive, so she’ll need a cat-free home. She can be food aggressive, so she should always be fed separately."Canela is spayed and up to date in vaccines. Canela has pannus, a chronic eye condition common in German Shepherds, that is easily managed with a simple daily eye ointment. She is very compliant to get that done!Canela would thrive in a home that offers:🐾 An active lifestyle with daily exercise and mental stimulation🐾 Structure, consistency, and continued training🐾 A fenced yard to safely burn off energy while continuing to work on recall and leash skills🐾 Someone with German Shepherd or other working breed experience🐾 Lots of love and time with her peopleIn return, you’ll have one of the most loyal, loving, and devoted companions you could ask for.We know the perfect family is out there for this sweet girl. Apply to meet Canela at ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Canela is $200.
