Story
Meet April!! She’s like a shy little wood sprite who wandered in from the forest on a whisper of wind. April came in as a stray on 11/5/25, and we think she’s about 8 years old. At first, she’s timid and skittish with new people—like a breeze that slips just out of reach. But give her a little time, a soft voice, and a kind heart, and she’ll slowly come forward to share her quiet magic. Once she feels safe, April shows her sweet, playful side. She even knows how to sit and shake—proof that this delicate soul has a spark of fun beneath her gentle grace. Let her move at her own pace, and you’ll discover the loving heart of this woodland fairy. April is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH. 📞 Phone: 419-774-5892 📧 Application required: Request one via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov

Story
Meet Scotch! Scotch is a wonderful puppy full of energy and love. He especially enjoys playing with our big dog and isn’t afraid to keep up with the fun. Even with all his puppy excitement, Scotch also knows how to calm down and snuggle up when it’s time to relax. He’s learning potty training and making good progress. Scotch sleeps well through the night and does just fine spending time in his crate during the day. If you’re looking for a playful yet affectionate puppy who’s ready to be part of the family, Scotch would be a great fit!
