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

Ahem… clears throat… taps microphone… H-hi everyone. Um. My name is Garth. (Please don’t look at me all at once.) I came in as a stray on 12/11/25, and they think I’m about 5 years old. I’m… uh… a handsome guy, apparently. I didn’t smile for the camera today because—well—this is all a lot. Crowds are scary. Cameras are scary. The shelter is scary. 😟 I’m very shy and I tend to stand close to you because you make me feel safe. I kind of look to my person for protection, like, “Is this okay? Are we good?” My eyes might look sad right now, but that’s just because I haven’t found my place yet. I’m hoping—very quietly—that someone kind will see me, take me home, and help me learn that the world isn’t so scary after all. I promise I’m worth it… I just need a little patience and a lot of love. Okay. Um. Thank you for listening. I’ll be available for adoption now. Please come meet me. 🐾 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📝 Adoption is an application process. You can request one via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov
