Isacc

American Pit Bull Terrier Great Dane

Male, Adult
Mt. Gilead, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Isacc is a young Pitbull mix.  He may have some great dane/lab or boxer in the mix. He is about 10 months old and will require obedience training. Isacc is about 50 lbs and will likely become more stout as he ages and fills out. He does seem to know the 'sit' command and will do it for a snack.  He is fine with other dogs, BUT will need to meet any new housemate prior to adoption being approved.  His companion, Ivan, whom he lived with prior to the shelter is also here and they play well together. We do not know how he is with children or cats.  Isacc is very energetic and will need a lot of exercise.  He loves to go for walks and does ok on the leash but is a work in progress. Anyone interested in Isacc must stop in during regular business hours to meet him and apply.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747 August 8, 2025, 10:52 am

Story
Peanut was a previous shelter dog that was trained in the prison. Upon his return, through no fault of his own, he was returned to the prison to continue his training.Peanut was not returned to us by his previous adopters, however he was found wandering so we have no idea why the previous adopters chose not to keep him.His manners and behaviors at the prison are spot on and he knows his commands, his handler states he is perfect!Peanut does well with other dogs, plays very well with them and when not playing he is calm and loves to relax.If you are interested in Peanut please call or email and we will explain how the process with meeting him is arranged. ***he is NOT at the shelter----an appointment must be arranged and scheduled to go to the prison to do so.He is neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and microchipped.Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747September 12, 2025, 12:19 pm

Story
Ivan is about 1 yr old and is ALL puppy.  He will require some obedience training BUT he is very eager to learn and is food/treat motivated.  He does know the 'sit' command and will do so when asked (most of the time).  He loves toys and is very energetic---so he will require regular a home with someone that is prepared to exercise him regularly. He may be partially housetrained however on occasion he does have accidents here.  Ivan has been tested with another dog, Isacc, whom he lived with prior to coming to the shelter BUT he will need to meet all new potential housemates prior to adoption being approved.  Ivan and Isacc play pretty well together during play group.  If you have interest please stop in during our regular business hours to meet and apply for him. Dogs do not go home the same day as meeting--we review applications first.   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747January 4, 2025, 10:30 am

Flash

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, Adult
Mt. Gilead, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Flash is a 1 yr old Pitbull/Boxer mix.  He is fearful and concerned over new people so patience is necessary with him. We suspect this may be a reaction to being abandoned. He was removed from a property after being left alone for several days.  He is playful and loves snacks.  He will walk ok on leash but does pull some.  Flash is young and will need some basic obedience but he does already know some commands. As part of the adoption process we require all dogs to meet your current dogs before adoption is approved. Anyone interested should stop in to meet him and complete an application if interested. Here is Flash's TikTok link: https://www.tiktok.com/@caninemoon/video/7233976371901451563?lang=en   Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747January 4, 2025, 10:30 am

Indy

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Granville, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Indy is the sweetest, most cuddly girl. She is no longer in the feisty-teenage Pitbul era, and is more chill and able to be enjoyed inside. She still plays but doesn't get into trouble like some young Pitbuls do. She is well-trained and has never had an accident during our care. She loves the kids and our other dog. Indy was brought home from the Franklin County animal shelter December 2023. She lived happily with my neighbors in their home with children. When the adults decided to separate in November 2025, neither person could take Indy. Instead of allowing them to take Indy to the shelter, we agreed to keep her and foster her until we found the right family for Indy. We cannot keep her because she chases our cats. She has never hurt them, but it isn't a safe environment for the cats. Indy loves our other dog, and children of all ages. She is cuddly, sweet and such a good dog!
