Story
Bailey is an absolute sweetheart! She was found as a stray out in the country which means somebody probably left her on the side of the road. She was positive for heartworm but has finished her treatment!! She loves being around people and she loves to play especially tug of rope. She is a talker and very treat motivated. She knows sit and working with her on paw and lay down. Now because of her age she still has the puppy tendencies but she loves going on walks but someone who is patient with her will be able to teach her that chasing cars is not okay. She follows my kids around the yard and plays with them and she loves the snuggles. She is incredibly smart and would make a great family dog. She is an all-around good girl who is just looking for a family to love me. If you think you could be that family, Located in North Texas, Transport fee included

Story
HeroMaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 65 lbsBreed: Bulldog/Lab MixTrial Adoption Eligible Hey, I’m Hero — though 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 and finally learning how to just be a dog. It’s been a journey, but I’m figuring it out — learning to trust my humans, enjoy structure, and feel safe in my space. I’m fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and honestly? I’m a pretty chill dude. Like, surprisingly chill. I don’t get into things I shouldn’t, I enjoy routines, and I really just want to be part of your world — preferably while holding your hand, licking peanut butter off a spoon, or soaking up morning snuggles. I’ve got a solid list of commands under my belt: sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, place, and now shake. I thrive with positive reinforcement (and maybe a blueberry or two). I feel safest with gentle structure, clear boundaries, and humans who recognize how smart I am and keep my brain engaged with walks, training, puzzles, and games. Some of my favorite things include watching baseball (from the couch), yoga (yes, really), fenced-in backyards, long walks in any weather, and being near my people. I’m deeply loyal, affectionate, and incredibly bonded to my humans once I trust them. That said, it’s important to be honest about what I need to succeed. Over time, it’s become clear that I do best as the only animal in the home. I have shown resource guarding and reactive behaviors when other animals are present, and for everyone’s safety, I need a calm, predictable environment without other pets. Because of this, I’m also not a good fit for homes with children under 15. I’m not a “take me everywhere” kind of dog — I’m a ride-or-die companion for the right person. The kind who will quietly love you with his whole heart, make you laugh daily with his goofy underbite, and show you what it means to be truly grateful to be safe, understood, and chosen. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a deeply devoted companion and are willing to honor my boundaries, I promise I’ll give you everything I’ve got. 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. Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 15+ ##2188352##

Story
We got Adria from our neighbor. He tends to keep dogs for a short time and passes them off to whoever he can. Our kids are always willing to help an animal in need so they took her. Our household already couldn't comfortably have two big dogs. But we made it work for a couple of months. She would play with our other dog but now they don't get along at all. It seemed to be disputes about food. But now we have to keep them separated at all times for a fight will break out. I want to make this perfectly clear. Adria is a sweet dog. She mild tempered when she's not around this other dog. She loves attention, loves kids, doesn't beg. I actually don't want to give her up. I definitely don't want to hand her over to any kill shelter either.

Story
Moses is Tuly a sweet boy he has so much Love to give. He is very playful loves to run he kind of likes to play fetch. He definitely needs some better training. He has a tendency to Pace, seems sort of restless. Weave had to put him in diapers because he has a tendency to pee in different areas of the house. The reason we need to rehome Moses is because he deserves better then we are able to provide. I work a lot 50 to 60 hrs a wk with health issues. Moses deserves to be with the people that can take him for long walks take him running playing in the water living his best life. Although it breaks my heart this is the better thing for him. Moses was abandoned with me by a coworker that asked me to keep for the weekend while they moved. I have three cats and couldn't afford it but I thought I could handle it but I can't. Well I haven't seen her in a year.

Story
Meet Corey! DOB: 4/17/26 Back Story: The Dynamic Duos Litter was born in a rural shelter on 4/17/26 and joined RESCUEDohio a couple days later. Possible Breeds: We’re guessing they may have some shar pei (based on mama’s looks) and lab, but we think they are probably a mix of several breeds. We don’t know who their dad was. Mutts are the best! Their mom weighs 40 lbs and she's an absolute sweetheart. The puppies definitely get their sweet nature from her! Personality: Named after everyone’s favorite Boy Meets World dreamer, this black-and-white girl is equal parts goofy and lovable. Corey has an adorable little hop when she gets excited and isn’t afraid to share her opinions with playful puppy grumbles along the way. She’s a blast to play with, but honestly, she’s just as entertaining to sit back and watch. With her silly antics and sweet personality, Corey has a way of making everything fun (and funny!). Adoption fee is $400. If you choose to return to our vet for the spay/neuter, the adoption fee will include the spay/neuter and the microchip. Apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet and greet can be set up once approved.  ##2720858##

Story
Lily is a sweet, loving, and active dog who brings a lot of joy and personality with her. I am looking for a new home for her because I have to move to different state for work, and the place I am going will not be suitable for her. Lily loves to play, especially tug of war, and she also enjoys cuddling up close when she feels safe and comfortable. She can be a little scared of rain and thunder, so she does best with someone who can be patient and comforting during storms and loud noises. She is affectionate, a little needy in the sweetest way, and loves being close to her person. I am hoping to find her a caring, stable home where she will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime.

💙 This handsome boy is Cash and he is looking for his very own family.He’s a 2-3 year old Mixed Breed. Our vet's best guess was that he looked like a labrador retriever with Australian shepherd, maybe!Cash was found out in a field in Circleville, OH - home to the Pumpkin Show. 🎃🎃🎃🧡Cash has some basic obedience training, he is a very smart boy and picks up on things quickly. He loves his couch time with his favorite snake toy, and belly rubs.  He is house trained & will tell you when he needs to potty. Cash is great with people and dogs. He has never been around a cat so he would need a slow introduction. His foster family says he has been a joy to have around. He would do best with kids a little older because your space is his space and he could knock over little ones.Cash would do best with another dog for security.  He can be anxious without another dog.  He would do best in a low traffic home with few strangers. Strangers tend to make him anxious. you can apply to foster or adopt Cash at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $250
