DoraleeFemaleD.O.B. 4/23/2024Weight: 46 lbs  Breed: Lab Mix Hi, I'm Doralee! I'm a playful, cuddly, fun-loving girl with a big heart and a whole lot of personality! I was found as a stray, so I'm still figuring out this whole "house dog" thing, but I'm learning more every day! First things first — I LOVE TOYS! Especially plushy ones! I carry them around the house and yard, toss them in the air, pounce on them, make them squeak, and proudly show them off to my humans. Sometimes I even lie upside down in my crate playing with my toys. Who says crate time can't be fun? Speaking of crates, I'm crate trained and already know that when a treat gets tossed inside, that's my cue to hop in! I'm still working on potty training and learning which things are appropriate to chew, so I need to be crated when left alone. I've only been in my foster home a few days, so I'm still learning the ropes! I'm also a professional cuddler! If you're sitting on the couch, don't be surprised if I wiggle my way under your arm, put my front paws on your leg, and rest my head in your lap. When I need a little reassurance, I love snuggling up close to my person. I'm an outgoing, curious girl who loves playing with other dogs! I'm also respectful of cats. I'd love for them to play with me, but I'm perfectly happy just hanging out nearby. And here's a fun fact — I'm incredibly gentle when taking treats from your hand! Some of my favorite activities include playing in the backyard, helping my foster dad decide which tomatoes are ripe for picking, exploring the world, and learning about fun car rides. I'm still a work in progress, but I'm eager to please, full of love, and ready to learn! All I need is a patient family who will help me become the amazing house dog I know I can be. If you're looking for a sweet, silly, toy-loving cuddle bug to share your adventures with, I'm your girl! If you are interested in meeting Doralee apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2872424##

HeroMaleD.O.B: 09/01/2022Weight: 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
I found this dog with a belt around its neck in a grocery store parking lot. I believe somebody was using the belt as a leash. The dog looks thin. I already have two dogs and one of my dogs does not want anything to do with this dog and shows aggression towards it. I have the Stray or abandoned dog in the garage but it is not ideal and I cannot keep him.

Story
Hello, this is Ozzy, he is 3 years old he is a German shepherd mix he is neutered up to date on all shot, he is professionally ecollar trained, he is an extremely energetic boy. Looking for his furever home!! Ozzy is fantastic with children, and other dogs. He is the kind of dog that once he gets attached he will have eyes for his owner/owners and love you wholeheartedly. This is hard to post because he truly is the best. Ozzy has always been used to a yard and I now live in an apartment and he is missing his runs. Cons of Ozzy: Ozzy is a German shepherd mix he has basically every characteristic of a German shepherd he can have. If you like the breed he will be perfect for you. He does chase cats so he would not do well in a cat friendly home.

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.

Story
🚨 URGENT: Sweet senior Angelo desperately needs a loving forever or foster home TODAY! This gentle old man has already overcome so much. A county warden once tased him leaving the prongs in his body when he was unable to capture him. Angelo went on to be humanely trapped, and has blossomed in home care.When he first arrived, he didn’t even know how to play. Now he happily chases balls, snuggles his stuffies, and loves a good game of tug! With the help of a trainer, he’s learned: “no,” “sit,” “wait,” “stay,” “come,” and “down” (with a hand signal).Angelo is fully house-trained, can be left home alone without crating, and loves nothing more than soaking up the sun and napping in a yard. He’s approximately 10 years old, has had a full dental, and is completely vetted and ready for couch snuggles.He lived peacefully with two cat friends until a recent disagreement (no one was hurt), so he now immediately needs a new home without cats. He does best as the one and only dog in a calm, quiet home with a secure fenced yard — he gets anxious on public walks and certain men in hats make him anxious.If you have a peaceful home with a yard, Angelo is waiting for you. 🏡Please help us find this sweet old soul the safe, loving retirement home he deserves!
