Story
Jack has overcome a challenging experience and is now ready to thrive in a new forever home. After recovering from minor injuries sustained during an altercation with a younger housemate, Jack is back to his vibrant self. This charming 10-year-old Jack Russell mix boasts a unique appearance, with short, stubby legs and a long torso, and has a delightful habit of offering handshakes with his stubby legs. Fully vetted and up-to-date on all vaccinations, Jack is also house-trained, crate-trained, and well-behaved during travel and bath time. He has mastered basic commands like sit, shake, and stay. While Jack would flourish in almost any home, unfortunately, he cannot cohabitate with cats. We are confident that there is a perfect family out there eager to welcome this lovable companion into their lives.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!

Story
LORELAI GILMORE is a stunning scruffy young dog looking for a home. She is a timid girl, our best guess is a Jack Russell Terrier-type mix, about 11 months old and fully grown at 24 pounds. She's a beautiful girl who literally wears her heart on her hip. Lorelai loves her doggie friends. She's good with older, dog-savvy kids and kitties. She prefers women over men. Lorelai needs a home with a dog-experienced adopter who will take the time needed to earn her trust. She must have a confident, playful dog sibling and is best suited to a home with a physically-fenced yard. She's housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash.   Lorelai and her sister Rory were found dumped in the woods earlier this year. Both girls were adopted a few months ago but Lorelai Gilmore was recently returned due to a change in family circumstances. Lorelai prefers women and is best suited to a quiet home where there won't be lots of strangers coming and going. If you'd like to meet Lorelai, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. All our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
Kuma (10 months old) is a very cuddly loving dog. He loves affection and is very playful, he will stick by your side wherever you go and is very loyal and a good listener. I work a lot, and I know he deserves a better home. He would do great in a home with other people and animals. He gets along with cats and dogs (of all sizes). He has accidents every so often, but he is mostly potty trained. I of course will provide you with everything he needs (food, bed, crate, toys, treats, leash, collar, brush, dog soap, etc.). I really want him to go to a loving home like he deserves, if you would like to meet him before you make a decision that is completely okay with me! He is shy to new people at first but is quick to be cuddly.

Story
Meet Taco — a 12-pound tyrant trapped in a dog’s body. He’s basically the Napoleon of the small dog world: loud, opinionated, and absolutely convinced he runs the show. (Spoiler: he does.) Taco isn’t here to make friends — unless, of course, those friends bring snacks, respect his personal space, and understand that cuddles happen strictly on his terms. Think of him as that one coworker who’s always a little too honest during team meetings, but you can’t help admiring their confidence. He’s the embodiment of “small dog syndrome,” but let’s be real — he’s earned it. Behind that sass is a bold little dude who knows exactly who he is and what he wants (mostly snacks, naps, and control of the couch). Taco’s looking for a human who appreciates sarcasm, can take a little attitude, and won’t crumble under side-eye judgment. In return, you’ll get a dog who’s loyal in his own… complicated way. If you like your pets with a side of personality disorder and spice, congratulations — you’ve met your match.
