Story
We adopted Chloe and her brother from a couple near Galipolis, Ohio. We've had them since they were 12 weeks old. A little skittish around those she doesn't know but warms up very well. They would require a fenced in yard as they like to run. My husband is disabled and has other health problems that are preventing us to give them the love and attention they need. They love belly rubs and laps. They are our doorbell. We have young grandchildren that they have been around. Good with our cat. Housebroke, crate trained, let's you know when they need to go outside. Very loving young dogs. Microchipped and up to date on shots.

Story
Misha is a 5 year old American akita. Shes very loving and loyal. I have to rehome her because she stopped getting along with my older dog. She is territorial and resource guards. I have kids in my home and have not had issues with her and them, but she is best suited for a single dog home.

Story
CinnamonFemaleAge: 1 yearEstimated Full Grown Weight: 40-50 lbsBreed: Husky/Pocket Bully Hi! I’m Cinnamon — sweet, smart, and always ready for fun or snuggles (especially snuggles!). I’m a cuddly puppy with an eager little heart, and I love being around people, kids, and other dogs. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I’m happiest when I get to share it with someone I love. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I walk very nicely on a leash. I haven’t spent much time around cats yet, so I’m not sure what I think of them, but with a careful introduction, who knows? I might do just fine. I adore bones, toys of every kind, and anything that lets me play, learn, or chew happily. I’m a very smart girl with a big eagerness to learn new things — training sessions are actually one of my favorite activities because I get to use my brain and make you proud. But my number one favorite thing in the whole world? Cuddling. If there’s a soft blanket, a comfy couch, or a warm lap, you can bet I’ll be right there curling up beside you. I’m a loving, intelligent puppy with so much joy to give. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who’s equal parts playful, bright, and affectionate, I’d love to be your new best friend. If you are interested in meeting Cinnamon apply to adopt her 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: $395. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2581420##

Story
RogueFemaleAge: 1 year oldWeight: 44 lbsBreed: Husky Mix Hi, I’m Rogue — your sassy, snuggly, adventure-loving best friend. I’m a fun, energetic girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I love being part of the action, whether that means going for walks, hopping in the car for an adventure, meeting new people, doing zoomies, or playing with my dog friends. I’m also a world-class cuddler and a bit of a Velcro girl — I just really love being close to my people. I do well with other dogs, kids, and even cats. With cats, I just need a little guidance and slow introductions at first. I do best with confident kitties who know how to hold their ground, and with the right setup I can live happily alongside them. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I walk well on a leash. I’m a smart girl who does best with structure, consistency, and an active family that can match my energy. I would thrive in a stand-alone home where I can be myself, and I do best when I’m crated while my people are away. Because I love companionship so much, I’d be happiest in a home with another pup friend or with people who are around often. I’m currently working on my separation anxiety, and having a dog buddy nearby really helps me settle and feel secure in my crate. With support, routine, and patience, I continue to make great progress. As I’ve gotten more comfortable, I’ve also let a little of my husky attitude show — I’ve definitely got some opinions, and every now and then I like to sing the song of my people when I don’t want to be left out. It’s all part of my charm. Some of my favorite things include freeze-dried treats, collachews, hard chews, non-rawhide chews, cuddling, zoomies, playing with Sadie, going on walks, meeting new people, and car rides with the wind in my fur. Honestly, if you’re going somewhere, I’d probably love to come too. My dream home is one that will include me in everyday life, keep me active, and appreciate my affectionate, spirited personality. I’m a loving, loyal girl who is ready to be someone’s sidekick, cuddle buddy, and adventure partner all in one. If you’re looking for a best friend with a little sass, a lot of love, and endless enthusiasm for life, I might just be your girl. If you’re interested in meeting Rogue, apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2703389##

Story
Missy and her Brorher Keeba are looking for a home together is possible. Bonded Pair. Missy is 9 yo this year, but still acts Like a puppy a majority of the time, she loves to run and is one of the most loving attention seekers you will find. Her chest and belly are her weak spots…. Scratch there and she is in heaven! Like any dog, the Komondor she needs that hair brushed!!! I am rehoming them due to my work schedule over the past 12 years and after the passing my their sister China, I realize that they need and deserve far more attention that they currently get. I am at work 13-16 hours a day 5-7 days a week and they deserve a home where they get the attention they crave and to not be confined to the small 5’x6’ room they are currently kept in.
