Story
Calling all husky lovers!Meet Osiris, the fluff-butt on a mission to find himself a family! Osiris was surrendered a few months ago after his previous owner was no longer able to care for him. This boy is a total clown and lives up to many of his breed's traits!During the daily canine chorus here at the shelter, Osiris has a very distinct voice that echoes through the halls. We often joke that he has a very promising career as a singer. He has tons of personality that keeps staff members smiling and shaking their heads at his silly antics. He's very playful with everyone he meets and generally a good-natured dog. Osiris does well about keeping his kennel clean when let out regularly and seems to catch onto new routines with ease. He loves to play ball out back but still hasn't quite mastered fetch. He does well on leash and really enjoys long walks. So if you're into hiking trails, this might be the perfect pup for you!So far, Osiris has been pretty indifferent to the other shelter dogs and would likely do fine with another canine sibling. We were told by his previous owner that he only did well with the cats inside of the home and we have yet to cat-test him with some of the shelter cats (we will update his description once that has been done!). Because he does not recognize his own size, he might not be the best candidate for a home with small children. He's still working on not jumping up to kiss every person he sees! We were also told that Osiris does have the tendency to be a bit of an escape artist and will take himself on a long run if given the chance. Because of this, we strongly suggest a fenced yard with supervision or a home that's willing to walk him daily. We would not recommend using a tie-out for him. If you need someone to keep you extra cozy on the couch, consider bringing this blue-eyed babe home! **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 50 lbs**

Story
This pointy-eared girl is Miss Juniper. Juniper was found a few months ago as a stray outside of Ney, OH. To everyone's surprise, she did not end up getting reclaimed by her previous folks and has been hanging out with us while we try to find her a forever family. Upon arrival, we learned that Juniper was heartworm positive and she immediately began treatment. She has been an absolute rock-star and completed treatment with ease. Juniper feels like a brand new pup and you could never tell that she had been sick. She has a very outgoing and energetic personality, true to her breed. Juniper is pretty strong on leash and due to her arrival as a stray, we would strongly suggest a fenced yard or someone willing to take daily walks with her. She has been a little reactive to some of the more "intense" shelter dogs so any canine introductions should be slow and controlled. If you're a Shepherd lover and are looking for an extra special girl to your family, consider adopting Juniper!**Spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Story
Have you ever seen such a handsome dog?This is Silas! Silas was found running as a stray and was never reclaimed by his previous humans. We are guessing he is around 3 years old and he's as healthy as a horse! Silas can be cautious when meeting new people and does best with slow, easy introductions. Based on his reactions to the other dogs, introductions with them will also have to be slow! We think he would do best in a home with older children and needs his boundaries respected! He's an extremely smart dog and has been easy to get into a routine here at the shelter with, so any additional training at home should be a breeze! He loves to play long games of fetch, then when he's tired he loves to lay in the kitty pool or get sprayed with the hose!Due to his past, we would need for Silas to go to a home with a securely fenced yard or someone that's willing to walk him daily. He's a boy that is going to need a fair amount of exercise and something to keep his brain busy if he's to be left home for long periods of time. He has some restraint issues and makes his boundaries clear. This also means he will need a home with lots of large breed experience! **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. He weighs 82 lbs**
