Story
We adopted Boba when she was six months old from a shelter. She is sweet, smart, and playful. We plan on relocating so we need to rehome her. She can shake, push her nose through steepled hands, sit, lay down, and wait ( we used wait instead of stay). She can get anxious if there are loud noises (especially if the battery on the smoke detector needs replaced). She needs to keep her weight under control or she starts limping because she has hip dysplasia.

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
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
Meet This Playful Little Lady! This 5-month old lab/terrier mix is a fun-loving pup weighing in at about 22 pounds - and still growing into her personality. She loves playing with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine friend in her home or regular playdates.  She's working on potty training and her crate training is going well. She's a smart girl who's is eager to learn! We think this sweet, playful girl would do best in a home where she can get regular playtime and love. We do not think she would do well in an apartment.  Honey is dog-friendly, curious about cats (wants to play, not harm), and she love playing with rolls of toilet paper.    ##2619879##
