Story
We moved in with my aging parents to help them as my dad is in end stage kidney failure. After a few months, the amount of people in the home was overwhelming so I had to move my family to a nearby apartment that does not allow Rottirs. The gate at my parent’s house does not keep Diesel in and due to HOA we cannot change the fence. With both my parents health now declining and my living outside the home and working Diesel’s needs are not being met and he is stressing my parents. He is a loveable big boy. We have a female dog and they are best friends. We attempted to rehome him with a family friend but he and their male dog were not getting along. He would be best as a solo dog in the home. He knows basic commands. He is very food motivated and learns easily.

Story
Kona arrived as a stray. She is a big girl and loves people. We are guessing her to be 3 pulse years. She is very selective of her doggy friends. She keeps her kennel clean and loves her toys.  If you have interest please stop in during our regular business hours to meet and apply for him. Dogs do not go home the same day as meeting--we review applications first.March 19, 2026, 12:16 am

Story
Obi is a 95 lb ox.  He is social and often times has zero respect for space. Obi will NEED and require obedience training.  While he does know sit he is not consistent with listening because he has the attention span of a fly.   Obi is a large boy----he can be reactive (barky) with other dogs so meet and greets with other dogs is required and must be scheduled in advance.  He has been neutered, vaccinated, wormed, heartworm tested negative, and is microchipped.  Due to his size and lack of access to be able to test him----we suggest a home with out cats.  It is unknown how he is with children BUT based on his jumping and energy we suspect he would be a candidate to knock down little ones.....so perhaps teenagers and older would be best. Familiarity with the breed is a plus.  He is a big boy, strong on lead and can be a bit overwhelming due to his size.   Please call ahead to schedule an appt to meet him.  Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.

Liberty BelleFemaleD.O.B. 5/1/2026Expected Full-Grown Weight: 65-75 lbsBreed: Boxer Mix Hi, I’m Liberty Belle, but my friends call me Belle! I’m an enthusiastic, athletic, and curious puppy who loves learning, exploring, and being part of the action. I’m good with dogs, cats, and kids. I currently live with other dogs of different sizes and two cats, and I do well with everyone. I also LOVE meeting new people and am friendly and excited to make new friends. I’m making great progress with my puppy manners! I ring the bells on the door when I need to go outside to potty, keep my crate clean overnight, and sit nicely when I’m asking for treats. I’m eager to please my humans and pay close attention to them, which makes learning new things pretty exciting for me. I love going for leash walks and am always ready for an adventure, whether we’re heading out for a car ride or simply exploring the backyard. I’m still figuring out how to keep my long legs from getting tangled in my car seatbelt, but I’m working on it! Toys are one of my favorite things — especially anything that squeaks. I also love playing in the kiddy pool, splashing my paws, fishing toys out of the water, and carrying them around the yard. When I get excited, I love to zoom around in big, fast circles. I’m a strong, muscular girl with some seriously impressive jumping skills, and I still enjoy a little backyard parkour — bouncing around the yard, jumping on things, and finding creative ways to turn everyday objects into an obstacle course. After all that activity, I’m happy to settle in too. I love lounging in circle-shaped dog beds and relaxing near my people, especially stretched out by their feet on the couch. I’m also very attentive and take cues from my humans. If another dog barks at something outside, I often look to my foster dad first to see how he reacts. I like to taste-test treats before fully committing, but cream cheese was a definite winner when it came time to take my monthly flea, tick, and heartworm pill. If you’re looking for a fun, smart, active, affectionate girl who loves walks, toys, zoomies, adventures, and being close to her people, I might just be your girl! If you are interested in meeting Belle apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $395. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2778277##

Story
Teddy is a sweet boy who would do well with an active family. He loves car rides, loves being with his people while he chews on his toys and plays tug of war. He responds very well to training and would thrive in an experienced home where he could be praised for his brains and his beauty. He is 3 years old and we're working on his manners. Sometimes he jumps in excitement or nips a hand when playing. These would be easily corrected with the right family and patience. He would be best placed with older kids, since he's very strong. His current foster fam is doing their best, but they're used to grumpy old seniors and he is full of life and energy and eager to please! He is about 50 lbs of pure joy. He loves to be in on the action, but he also knows when it's quiet time. He sleeps in his crate at night by choice(he'd prefer the bed) and is crated while we're away without protest. He would do best in a home without cats, as he has cattle dog in him and loves to chase small animals.
