After a good play session, he’s happy to curl up for a cuddle and nap. A home with a fenced yard for rounds of fetch would be perfect. LikesSage enjoys playing fetch and tug with his toys and thrives on interactive play. He loves roughhousing with other dogs, so an active dog sibling would likely be a great match. His favorite treats include peanut butter kongs and deli turkey. When it’s time to rest, he’s happy to snuggle up in your bed or sleep on a dog bed in your room. DislikesSage is still learning that young kids aren’t his puppy playmates, so he can be a bit mouthy when trying to initiate play. He’s also unsure about going up or down stairs and may need a little help until he gains confidence. Sage has the most incredible webbed front paws that make him special. He may love to swim one day! He also leans right in for a hug when offered and can have a very calming presence about him. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.

Brys hasn’t been told that at a year and a half he’s not really a puppy any more. He’s having such a blast at his foster mom’s! He loves meeting new dogs because they represent new play opportunities. Brys is hesitant about strangers and observes them before deciding to meet them. For now, it’s better to be calm and let him go to new people when he’s ready, which is typically fairly quickly. Once he does know his person, he’s a true sidekick type of dog. He isn’t demanding and loves nothing more than being with his person. He loves to play (running fast is his favorite activity). He’d be very happy and very good at agility and/or herding activities. Brys needs an outlet for his youthful energy. He sleeps a lot throughout the day but is very active in the morning and late afternoon/evening, so he needs a healthy outlet to burn this energy off. As his foster mom has said, Brys is either totally calm or going at Mach 5. The key to getting him to calm down is to head for the sofa. Let him cuddle while you give belly and chest rubs—he absolutely loves it. A music lover, Brys also chills out to smooth jazz and meditation tunes. Brys isn’t just gorgeous, he’s smart too. He’s even invented his own “capture the flag” game. Brys’ game involves him getting a toy or shoe and proudly trotting around to show off his catch to his foster mom like he’s just scored a big win. He’s very good at “leaving it” before ever being told. He knows he can’t keep what he’s found. He’s not out to destroy it—he just enjoys the challenge of “capturing” it and the pride of showing it off. Brys’ foster mom has many more stories she can’t wait to share; or better yet, if you’re looking for a right-hand companion, meet Brys for yourself and see what a fantastic boy he is.

To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit www.almosthomeohio.org and complete our online application!Lightening is around 3 yrs old Lightning is an incredibly cute sheltie. He takes a moment when meeting new dogs and new people, but then he is interested in making their acquaintance. Lightning loves to play hide-and-seek inside if the weather doesn’t permit a walk. He also enjoys fetch with a stuffy inside. In fact, he loves to retrieve during outside and inside playtimes. Lightning’s foster mom says he loves her dogs including her large collie. He watches their cat interestedly but is respectful. Her birds and Lightning coexist happily. This sweetie was recently neutered, so he is still a bit hormonal. That should ease up soon, however. Lightning is learning commands and settling in at his foster’s while he waits for his forever home.
