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.

Story
From current owner: Due to unexpected changes in my living situation, I sadly need to find Cheese a new, loving home. Cheese loves being outdoors — running around, playing, and soaking up the sun. When he’s inside, he’s calm, relaxed, and makes a great house dog. He’s very alert and will let you know if someone is outside, but he’s not overly vocal. He enjoys going on walks and listens well when given commands — he’s easily redirectable and eager to please. Personality and Compatibility: 🐶 Dog-friendly: Yes, he gets along well with other dogs. 🐱 Cat-friendly: No, he does not do well with cats. 👶 Kid-friendly: He is generally good with kids, but should be supervised around young children who may not understand boundaries. He doesn’t like having his paws, ears, or face tugged or poked. He has never bitten anyone, but he has growled when a toddler pulled his tail and ears, so a home with older, respectful kids would be best. Cheese would thrive in a home that can give him love, space to play, and understanding of his boundaries. He’s a loyal companion who will bring warmth and joy to his new family. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal dog who loves outdoor adventures and quiet evenings indoors, Cheese might be the perfect fit! Located in North Texas, transport available and fee included

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 — 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
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##

Story
This beautiful 5-month old girl, currently around 15 pounds is going to be a very sweet addition for a very lucky family. She's still learning about the world and will need a patient, understanding home to help her build confidence. She can be timid with noises--especially outdoors, but is gaining confidence everyday. She can be shy with new people at first, but warms up quickly.  She absolutely loves being close to her humans and thrives on companionship. She'd love to have another dog in the home (big or small) to play with, cuddle, and help her feel more secure. Hazel is incredibly loving and affectionate so make sure you are prefared for a dog with no boundaries.  A few things to know - Hazel has serious hops, like she's on springs! We strongly recommend a securely fenced yard and someone committed to training her with recall. She'd do best with someone who is home more often than not, though we believe she'll continue to adjust and get more used to being alone with age. She is still working on potty and crate training, but she is making progress! If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion and are willing to help her learn about the world, she could be the perfect fit!  ##2619875##

Hi Beth, this is the other dog. I’ve been waiting on new photos. His name is Danny. He’s a senior, approximately 10 or 11. He has obedience training too, but it was almost 8 years ago. He’s very sweet, a little hyper, loves his ball, and great with all people. He is dog selective but does well with most females. He’s lived with numerous cats, but he’s not trustworthy with them. HW negative and utd on shots. He’s a farm dog and loves being outside with his people. Please contact Debbie for more information 901-634-5919, email is ddglenn66@aim.com
