Story
Took him from a shelter where he was going to be euthanized for his fear aggression of men. I saw potential for growth and improvement for his fear. I now have him at my home where I have contacted a personal trainer to help with his behavior. Loper is 5 years old, 76 pounds and is on a sensitive skin and stomach diet, and hip and joint supplements for his hip dysplasia and gabapentin. The vet does not see any problems at this time for his hips. Loper will need someone with experience in Akitas or knowledge. He is very smart and loves attention on his own terms. He has met dogs through a fence and seems ok. But has not met face to face. Loper is very sweet, tolerant, smart. He is crate trained and asks to go potty. He has medium energy. He loves walks and explore new smells, loves squeaky toys and chewing on chicken flavored nylabones. He will follow you around the house where ever you go. He needs to find his forever with someone you keeps up with his training.

These pups are in Columbus, Ohio too!

Story
Meet Monday! She is a t month-old husky/ hound mix who weighs 42 pounds. Monday arrived at CHA when her owner could no longer care for her. She still has a lot of puppy energy, and loves to play. But, she is also super affectionate, and loves to cuddle and spend time with her people. Monday has a prey drive, and needs to be in a home with no cats or small animals. However, she does love other dogs! Monday is an extraordinarily gentle player, and she has made so many doggie friends while at CHA. She even loves to play with the smaller puppies! Monday is a good girl who just loves everyone she meets. Come to CHA today and see if she`d be a good fit for your family.

Story
HollyFemaleAge: 11 MonthsExpected Full Grown Weight: 36-40 lbs.  Breed: Husky Mix Hi there! I’m Holly! I’m a happy, fun-loving girl who’s always ready for adventure! I’ve got lots of puppy energy, so I’m looking for an active family who loves to get outside and play as much as I do. Walks, hikes, chasing balls — you name it, I’m in! I’m a social butterfly and get along great with other dogs, kids, and even cats (though I might give a friendly chase now and then — I just can’t help my curiosity!). I’d love a dog buddy or an active human to keep up with me. I’m both house-trained and crate-trained, and I’m working hard to remember that not everything is a toy (I still have a bit of that puppy chewer spirit!). I absolutely love bones and anything crunchy, and my favorite toys are chew bones and balls to chase. If you have a yard, I’ll be your zoomie queen — running, fetching, and playing to my heart’s content. A fence would be awesome for my playtime adventures, but it’s not a must if you can give me plenty of exercise and love. I do like to “chat” a little when I’m left alone, so I’d do best in a home with no shared walls (no apartments or townhomes, please) — just to keep everyone happy! I can’t wait to find my forever home — one where I can explore, play, and cuddle up after a day full of fun. If you’re looking for a smart, silly, and affectionate companion who’ll keep you laughing and moving, that’s me. If you are interested in meeting Holly 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. ##2502567##

Story
SugarFemaleAge: 7 monthsEstimated Full Grown Weight: 35-40 lbsBreed: Husky/Pocket Bully Hi, I’m Sugar — and yes, I really am as sweet as my name! I’m a gentle, shy girl with a relaxed spirit, and once I warm up, I absolutely love being close to my people. Cuddles are one of my very favorite things, and I’m happiest when I get to curl up beside you and soak up all the love. I get along wonderfully with kids and other dogs — I’m friendly, calm, and easygoing. I haven’t really met cats up close yet, but the few times I’ve seen them outside, I didn’t pay much attention, so I might do just fine with a slow introduction. I’m house trained, crate trained, and walk nicely on a leash. Since I’m still a puppy, it’s best to keep me in my crate when you leave the house for longer periods, just to make sure I stay safe and out of trouble while I’m still learning. Don’t worry — I settle in well! I adore bones, toys of all kinds, and any excuse to play. But I’m just as happy being your little shadow, following you around the house with my soft, sweet presence. I’m a loving girl who brings calm, cuddles, and joy wherever I go. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a warm heart and a relaxed, loving nature, I’d love to be part of your family. If you are interested in meeting Sugar 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. ##2581417##
