Story
✨ Meet Rico ✨ Rico is a sweet, sensitive little guy who’s still figuring out that the world isn’t such a scary place. He’s estimated to have been born 2/27/2022, weighs around 20 pounds, and we believe he may be a Jack Russell / Weimaraner mix. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, potty trained, and very well-mannered in the house. Rico would do best in a home with older kids and a calmer environment. He’s a bit of a “one-person kind of dog” and truly bonds deeply once he chooses his human. Right now, he has a strong attachment to men and would likely thrive as a man’s dog. When his person is around, he wants to be right by their side — cuddling, sleeping next to them, and soaking up all the love. Inside the home, Rico is quiet, respectful, and easy to live with. Outside is another story — he’s still very unsure and fearful when outdoors and tends to bark and rush back to the door. With patience, routine, and reassurance, he should continue to gain confidence, but a securely fenced yard or a calm outdoor setup would be ideal. Rico is great with cats and doesn’t bother them at all. He has been gentle with kids and allows pets without issues, though he does try to keep to himself and may hide when overwhelmed. He’s not aggressive — just timid and cautious, and he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. 💙 Rico isn’t the kind of dog who will love everyone instantly — but when he chooses you, he chooses you completely. He’s loyal, cuddly, and deeply devoted once he feels safe. He’s the kind of dog who will curl up next to you at night and quietly become your shadow. If you’re a patient, calm person — especially a man looking for a loyal companion — Rico just might be your perfect match. He’s a diamond in the rough, waiting for the right person to see how special he truly is. 🐶 Rico is ready for a forever home that understands him and gives him the time he needs to shine. 🐾

Story
Dexter is an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier we’ve had the joy of raising since he was a puppy. He’s energetic, affectionate, and loves attention. Especially belly rubs and sitting on your lap. Dexter thrives in calm, loving environments and would do best with someone who can give him plenty of companionship. He’s house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. We’re looking for a new home where he’ll be just be cherished.

Story
Muttley and Toby came to Columbus Pet Rescue after their owner passed away. These two sweet boys have been best friends for years, and their bond is truly something special. You’ll always find them side by side—running through the house and yard together, tails wagging and showering each other with kisses. They love following their humans from room to room, patiently waiting for you to sit down so they can fill the empty spots on each side—ready for belly rubs, snuggles, and sweet talk. At bedtime, they’re happiest cuddled up close, dreaming of more love and playtime. Both boys are housebroken and have wonderful manners. Muttley and Toby are gentle and affectionate. They love people and quickly steal hearts with their playful energy and loving personalities. They’re looking for a forever home as a pair where they can keep sharing their adventures and snuggles. If you’re looking for double the love, laughter, and loyalty, Muttley and Toby are ready to fill your home (and heart) with happiness! Potential adopters are required to have a fenced in yard. Muttley has been fixed, vaccinated for DHLP-P and Rabies, micro-chipped, wormed, flea treated, and heartworm tested. (over $550 worth of veterinary care.) If you are interested and have a fenced in yard, please fill out an adoption application first. Allow a day or two to process the application and then text Lisa at 614 254-4641 if she has not contacted you already. Adoption fee: $350 We only adopt within the state of Ohio.

I came to Ohio from Alabama with my sisters. I’m a very curious puppy and love to explore my surroundings. I’m great at sniffing around and navigating, even though I’m blind—you wouldn’t be able to tell. I enjoy playing with my big sister Liberty; she’s very kind to me. Cuddling with my foster mom and dad is my favorite activity, especially wrapped up in a warm blanket. I’m making good progress with potty training, although I still have occasional accidents. I love to learn and feel comfortable in my crate at night or when my family is at work. I’ve never been around cats, but my foster mom thinks I would be just fine because I’m very relaxed. I can’t wait to meet my forever family and promise to give lots of love. ##2610827##

Story
I recently had a baby and have another child under 2 years old. It has become too much for our household to care for a dog as well. Odie is 3 years old and has been fully potty trained. However he started marking territory in our house a few months ago. I suspect he needs to be potty trained again which is too much for our family to take on having 2 small children and another child. Odie is very loving and energetic. He would be a great companion for someone who can give him the time and attention he needs.
