Story
OtisMaleAge: 2 yearsWeight: 45 lbs Breed: American Bulldog/Boxer Mix   Hey there, I’m Otis! I am a happy-go-lucky, affectionate and super friendly fella who loves all humans and I get along with other dogs and kids, but I have not interacted with cats yet. I walk well on a leash, do great in the car and I am house trained and crate trained! I love to greet my humans with a wiggly butt and will have a stuffed toy in my mouth to show you. I love to play with any toy, especially any plush toy, but my stuffed moose is my favorite! I am playful and occasionally I’ll get the zoomies. I am great on a leash – I don’t even pull.  I must look big in my photos, because everyone who meets me comments on how much smaller I look than they expected.  I am currently on a novel protein diet and am on a DD diet for my skin and allergies + apoquel. I am still seeing a dermatologist to see if the apoquel will be long term. My ophthalmologist gave me an interior segment dysgenesis of both eyes (my left is a little worse than my right) so I am most likely pre-disposed to glaucoma in both eyes. I will require yearly eye exams for this. I am so excited to find my forever family who will provide me all the love and attention I deserve! If you are interested in meeting Otis, apply to adopt him atwww.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $275 Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ##1532236##

Story
Meet Julep!   Julep is a 2 year old American Bulldog mix, who weighs about 50 lbs. She's a very friendly and happy pup, who loves everyone she meets. She's very laidback and submissive with other dogs, but she loves to play with her canine foster brother!    This wiggly girl is a huge couch potato and just wants to snuggle all day long. She's great with walks or time in the backyard - whatever you want to do, she'll be right by your side! She's also fully housebroken and doesn't make a peep in her crate. What more can you ask for?!    Julep has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $300 and she's located in Cincinnati. If you're interested in meeting her, please submit an application on our website, www.prodogsohio.org/adoptables. We only schedule meet and greets with approved applicants to respect the time of our foster families.       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We appreciate your support, in order to help us continue to rescue dogs!

Leo has lots of love to give! He is a playful and affectionate dog that enjoys back scratches and treats of any kind. Leo is working on his leash training and learning how to be a solid doggy citizen. He is far too interested in cats so he needs to go to a no-cat home.

Bryce is such a good boy and eager to please. He was found on the steps of the local business where he had likely been dumped. He is a big baby, sweet and affectionate and always ready to play. He would like nothing more than his own family to hang out with, play in the backyard and then curl up in a comfy bed for naptime... Not recommended to be with other dogs **We are a Mississippi based rescue that travels every 3 to 4 weeks up the east coast and to Ohio with our pre-adopted animals to meet with their adopters at a predetermined location. This price includes the cost of transport. We do virtual meet and greets!

Story
Petunia is such a sweet cuddle bug who has the cutest playful side and is still learning all about the world. She loves playing with chew toys, does great in her crate overnight, loves exploring on walks, and wants to greet every person she meets with a huge kiss. She is learning to trust other dogs, but warms up after she knows they are safe and friendly. A doggie daycare would be a great place to help her gain her confidence! She will also need training on her basic commands, including potty training. But don’t worry, she’s a quick learner! She is looking for an active family who will take her on lots of walks and give her plenty of exercise. She loves taking walks and loves being out and about exploring the outside world and I getting more comfortable each day! She would be an awesome doggie daycare dog. She would love her new family to enroll her to have a lot of play time with other dogs. She is a smart girl and is showing progress each day learning a lot! She is working on her puppy commands and manners. She will need a patient, consistent family to continue her training. She will ready for puppy classes when she is adopted and fully vaccinated. We HIGHLY encourage obedience/behavior training for all of our pups once adopted into their forever homes. If you live an active lifestyle and are ready to bring this lovable girl into you home, please apply to meet her!

Story
BasilMaleAge: 10 yearsWeight: 49lbsBreed: English Bulldog/Beagle Mix Hey there, I’m Basil. I am a happy and loving guy who gets along with kids and I really don’t have much interest in cats, so a home with cats would be just fine. I am a little selective with the other dogs I meet. I prefer friendly dogs.  While I am inside, I do wear a belly band. I am house trained and don’t need to be crated when you leave for your normal workday. I am also crate trained and I do well on a leash too (I do pull some with excitement, but my harness helps Immensely). I love to wander around outside and play with friendly dogs, travel with my human, take naps with my human or just nap by myself on a comfy bed or sofa. My foster mom says I am soulful and happy and loving and I just want to be your best friend. I would love to be with you as much as possible. I also love a good bone, all the treats and a stuffed Kong. If you do have another pet in the house, I would need to be fed separately. This includes snacks too. I like to guard my meals. Because of my age I have some worn down teeth and I did have a growth removed, but thank goodness it wasn’t cancerous. At my last vet appointment the doctor might have detected a murmur so, everyone is keeping an eye on that.  But, it doesn’t slow me down at all! I would love to find my forever family who will provide me all the love I deserve! If you are interested in meeting Basil apply at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $225 Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 years or older.   ##1633287##
