Red is a thick mixed breed, likely has some boxer in her.  She is around 55 lbs.  Red is listed as special needs because she is heartworm positive.   Red is fine around and with other dogs, specifically her companion Shortly, who she arrived with. We do suggest meet and greet with any new housemate prior to us approving an adoption.  Red is super shy of new people and does take a bit of time to warm up to each new person she meets.  If you have interest please stop in to meet her or give us a call if you have questions.

Story
Ariah is the sweetest itty bitty thing. Found living on the streets in the bitter cold, covered in fleas, she's approximately 8 months old. Ariah appears to be part bulldog and part pitbull mix.She's extremely shy but warms up quickly! She's starting to come out of her shell and is playing with ALL the toys and with the old dog in her foster home. She's following the other dog's lead in learning to be a beloved pooch. She is what we call a Velcro dog. She's quite fearful of the cat, loud noises, new faces and fast hands. She is working on potty training and is very close to being trained. She LOVES water!! Loves Baths! She puts her whole face in it! Wags her tail and is happy as can be. She loves the kids in her foster home but doesn't quite know how to play. She follows them around and steals their stuffed animals . She's terrified of the cat and avoids her at all costs. She seems to be younger than she is. She acts more like a 3 month old puppy with super listening ears. She does puppy things but listens wells and is easily redirected with 'no no no, that's not yours'. She's ok with sleeping in the crate AS LONG AS, she sleeps in your room. She will cry if you leave her. She's very calm!!! Sleeps a lot!! She has the cutest under bite that makes her look like she's pouting!She's going to be an exceptional sweet addition to the family.The adoption fee for Ariah is $350. The fee includes the first two sets of vaccines and the spay surgery and a microchip at our partner veterinarian. Her cherry eye will also be fixed when she is spayed.Apply to meet Ariah at ricopetrecovery.org.

Story
Meet Georgia!! This classy gal strutted into the shelter as a stray on 10/24/25, and we think she’s about 5 years old. Don’t let her initial shyness fool you — Georgia warms up fast once she realizes you’re part of her fan club. We’re pretty sure she used to live the good life, because the moment she spotted the bench, she hopped right up like “Ah yes, my throne.” This girl clearly believes furniture is for queens — and she is most definitely one. 👑 Georgia is sweet, friendly, and absolutely powered by treats. She’s looking for a forever home with someone who appreciates her refined taste and snuggle potential. She is available for adoption now, so hurry in to meet her before someone else claims this couch-loving cutie! 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📩 Applications can be requested via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov

Story
Meet Nala, our resident beefcake with a heart of gold. 💪💖Nala is strong, solid, and impressive at first glance — but give her a moment and you’ll see what she really is: a total love bug who just wants affection, reassurance, and someone to call her own. She does best as the only pet in the home, but she’s great with children and thrives on human companionship.Her past hasn’t been kind. Nala came to the shelter emaciated, after spending much of her life locked in a crate, with painful urine-scalded feet and legs. Despite everything she endured, she never lost her gentle spirit or her desire to trust people. She’s had professional training, giving her a solid foundation, and she wants so badly to do the right thing.After waiting at the shelter for quite some time, Nala finally found a home — only to be returned recently due to her adopter experiencing serious health issues. Through no fault of her own, she’s back, confused and waiting again.Nala has already survived more than any dog should have to. What she needs now is stability, patience, and someone who will see past her muscles to the soft heart underneath. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and can offer her a pet-free home, Nala is ready to love you with her whole big body and even bigger heart. 🐾More information?

Story
Emerging from the depths of her enchanted kiddie pool, Vada the Troll Queen is here to claim your backyard, your hose, and your heart. This mischievous little gremlin is equal parts sass, splash, and snuggle (on her terms, of course). She’s a one-of-a-kind, hose-chasing, Kong-chomping legend—and she’s looking for a loyal human to serve as her humble subject.Vada’s ideal kingdom includes: • A hose with good water pressure (the royal fountain, obviously) • A steady supply of Kongs (the sacred treasure of her people) • Zero other dogs (she’s a solo troll, thank you very much) • Cats who know their place (bow or be batted at) • Minimal manfolk (she finds them suspicious)She may be wary of strange humans (especially tall, loud ones), but once you’re accepted into her inner swamp circle, Vada is fiercely loyal and surprisingly sweet. She’ll keep your yard safe from rogue sprinklers, overconfident squirrels, and any unauthorized lawn gnomes.Vada is not here to win “Miss Congeniality.” She’s here to rule, splash, and chew rubbery things until they squeak no more. If you’re looking for a gentle, dainty flower—keep walking. But if you’re ready to bow before the chaos goblin queen and laugh every day at her swampy shenanigans, your highness awaits.Long live Vada. Bring snacks.More information?
