Story
Hershey KissMaleAge: 13Weight: 78 LbsBreed: Lab Hi there! My name is Hershey Kiss, and just like my name, I’m sweet, gentle, and hard to resist. I’m an outgoing, relaxed, and playful guy who loves being around people. I’m great with kids and friendly with other dogs—though I usually just mind my own business and do my thing. I’m a well-mannered boy: I’m house trained, walk nicely on a leash, and I don’t need to be crated when you leave me home alone. When I need to go outside, I’ll let you know by heading right to the door. I know some basic commands like “no,” “sit,” and “shake,” and I’m always happy to show them off—especially if treats are involved (I love all treats and toys and I’m definitely not picky about food!). My favorite activities include playing fetch and tug, going outside, lounging around, and soaking up attention. I enjoy being brushed and will happily cuddle with you for a bit—short cuddle sessions are my style. I also love kisses and I’m very tolerant of hugs. Most of all, I’m a sweet boy who just wants a home where I’ll be loved and given plenty of attention. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a playful side, I might just be your perfect Hershey Kiss. If you are interested in meeting Hershey Kiss apply to adopt him at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $195. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2550283##

Story
HeroMaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 65 lbsBreed: Bulldog/Lab MixTrial Adoption Eligible Hey, I’m Hero — but around my foster home, I also answer to Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie. I wear them all with pride. I’m about three years old, recently cleared of heartworm (yay me!), and finally learning how to just be a dog. It’s been a journey, but I’m figuring it out — slowly learning to trust new humans, understand other dogs, and navigate this whole “socializing” thing with my ears up and tail wagging. I am house trained and crate trained and walk well on leash. I’m a chill dude. Like, shockingly chill. I don’t get into things I shouldn’t, I get along with and respect the cats (truly, I lounge with them), and I really just want to be part of your world — preferably while holding your hand, licking peanut butter off a spoon, or sharing your morning snuggles. I’ve got a growing list of commands under my belt: sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, and place — and I thrive on positive reinforcement (plus maybe a blueberry or two). I feel safest with gentle structure, clear boundaries, and humans who see how smart I am and keep my brain busy with puzzles, walks, training, and games. Some of my favorite things? Baseball (watching, not playing), yoga (yes, really), fenced-in backyards, long walks in any weather, lounging with my feline friends, and just being near my people. I’m not just a good boy — I’m the good boy. The kind of companion who will quietly love you with his whole heart, make you laugh every day with his dumb little underbite, and show you what it means to be truly grateful to be safe, seen, and loved. If you're looking for a ride-or-die for the next decade or so, I’m your guy. Just be warned — one look into my eyes mid-blueberry snack and you’ll never be the same. Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official. You must be an approved adopter to participate. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5+ ##2188352##

Story
Bucky has a few years on him, but will make a wonderful companion for the right person. He can sit, stay, down on command (especially for Pupperoni). His owner is no longer able to care for herself or her pets. He is not terribly active and happy to lounge on the sofa! He's a friend who just wants to be with you :) He appears to have a grass allergy, and is on Apoquil for this, which is a prescription medication, but he might do well on zyrtec, which he hasn't tried. He has had excellent veterinary care his entire life, and his teeth are in great shape. Over the years he has tried some bad behaviors, which were not corrected, and has had maybe four or five incidents of food and leash aggression (hey, nobody's perfect!), so he needs to go to an experienced owner who will make him sit and stay before meals. He has not been around children. He will be a great companion for someone who is willing to give him a chance, and spend a little time bringing out his princely side!

Marcie or Purdy is a super lovey velcro dog. She’s is a sweet heart and VERY high energy. Marcie loves other dogs and playing at the park. She knows sit, stay, come, lay down, and is extremely intelligent. Shes not terrible with cats but she will try to play with them without realizing how big she is. She good with humans aswell. I have to work over 40 hours a week now so I do not have enough time to give her and she deserves more. I have all her toys, harness, outside leash etc. Marcie needs someone who can give her daily exercise and park time as much as possible or at least another dog for her.

Story
ABOUT ME… Hi! I’m Izzy, and I am part of the Kentucky Four that arrived at CO•PAW when our shelter was destroyed in storms. I had suffered from Kennel Depression and lost a lot of weight and was pretty reserved when I came here. My personality is out and I’m just so happy. I have heard my foster family describe me as an absolute sweetheart - I love every person I meet. I can’t wait to be friends! No matter where we go, I will make new friends - whether they’re human or furry. I MUST meet every dog I see. My tail goes so fast it may cause injuries if you’re in its path. I won’t bark at another dog unless they bark at me (they started it). I’m pretty quiet. I don’t even like barking at the door. But I do like toys! They’re great. I would love to play with you outside and inside. I would also love to be able to spend time around you - in the same room as you, curled up in a cozy dog bed, on the couch, in your bed, staring out the window… I am a good listener, and am told I am going to be an amazing companion for some lucky person or people. Please don’t forget I am still young and learning, but very eager to make you happy and proud. I AM GREAT WITH… kids (I light up when I see kids and love to play with them! I can still get a little too excited with smaller kids, but my foster mom is working with me on this.), other dogs (all sizes), and cats. I am great with men and women. I AM STILL WORKING ON… some manners. I’m an eager and quick learner, and definitely food motivated. Leash training - I would really benefit from a good harness and training treats here. Crate training (being able to stay in there without crying) - my foster parents let me sleep in their room and crate me when no one is home. I have been getting better and better with my crate each time! I AM NOT GOOD WITH… Being left unattended around food, I will eat it. I am a counter-surfer. I REQUIRE… A fenced in yard would be preferred, but I can also be in an unfenced yard on a lead. I am very athletic, and have twice hopped the 4’ fence (once assisted by 2’ garden beds, and once without assistance) because I was so excited to play with the kiddo and dog on the other side. I did try to come back over as soon as my foster parents called me, but I couldn’t figure out how 🤷🏼‍♀️ My foster parents have been working very diligently with me, and I’m doing really well. They said that with continued training, that I won’t continue my jumping. VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense. Alternatively, the adopter can use their own vet to boost vaccinations, at their own expense. TERMS & CONDITIONS... ~Adopters must reside in the State of Ohio. ~No transportation assistance is provided; adopter must commute for meet & greet. ~Meet & greets are not scheduled until there is an approved adoption application on file. ~The expectation is that you will bring your new pet home from the meet & greet, if all goes well. Please be prepared to do so by bringing a collar, leash, harness, crate, etc. to secure your new pet.

Story
Meet Serena! Gender: Female Age: 3 years Current Weight: 50lbs Expected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs) Breed: Lab mix Energy Level: Medium Dog Friendly: Serena lives with another dog and they get along swimmingly, however slow intros are required. Not your thing? No worries!  Serena is happy to be the solo pup.  Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Yes to kids 8 years old or older Apartment Friendly: No Physical Fence Requirement: Fence with visual privacy, any height Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home/Adopter: Are you looking for a snuggle bug? Someone who will stay in and lay around with you all day and relax? Then you've found the right girl for you! Serena is an absolute angel inside the home, she would love more than anything to get to spend the whole day with you by your side. But need to work outside the home? No problem! Our girl is happy to patiently wait at home inside or outside the crate for you and will excitedly great you when you get home. Serena would also benefit from a home with a playful friend and mentor, as she loves to play with another dog if she can. She's excited to make new friends (sometimes a little too excited) and may not always know how to express it yet, but we've found that once she makes a friend, she becomes best buddies with them quick! Likes: Serena loves to play fetch. Much like her namesake (the OG Serena), she supports women's sports, whether she is playing them or watching them with you on the couch. She is just happy to have you as her teammate. But if you're more into relaxing and chilling, she's more than happy to do that too! She loves a cozy spot on the bed or couch where she can snuggle right up to you and if you give her an extra belly rub or two, she will just melt into you. Dislikes: Cats - like why are they around if they don't want to run and play with her? Serena can also get a little too excited on walks when she meets a fellow furry friend. She's not always sure how to express herself and would need a family whose willing to work with her to teach her the right way to behave on walks. Serena is a quick learner, treat-motivated, and loves to show off her skills, so as long as you're patient with her, you'll be rewarded tenfold. She also loves meeting new people once she's comfortable with them, but can be a little anxious at first (aren't we all?!), she's on medication to help with that though. Serena is such a loving and funny girl. From awkward sleeping positions to her array of hilarious vocals, this delightful girl knows how to communicate love and joy. She just a dog who wants to be loved endlessly, feel cared for and supported and when given the chance, will show you the depths of her love. Serena's smile will light up your world, if you just give her the chance to do so! Serena's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting Serena, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.   Thanks to Emma Mortellaro, (614) Media Group, for providing some of the photos.  ##1720305##

Story
Bruno is a great dog , always looking for friends. He gets really excited over other dogs and squirrels! He is missing some teeth after having to have them removed so he needs his food softened. He was starved in a past life so he is a little food possessive but can be bribed with a treat. All he wants is love from his human and sometimes a friend to play with . He’s great with other dogs. He would do best in a home with older kids or just someone looking for a walking partner twice a day. He is a goof. But a great friend. I hate that I have to rehome him but I want to make sure he’s going to the right place for him. He does need his kibble soaked for a few minutes but he’s pretty easy !
