Story
Name: Kenny Gender: Male Age: 3 years old Current Weight: 47 pounds Expected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs) Breed: Mixed Pit Bull/Jack Russell Energy Level: High Dog Friendly: Yes, and requires another dog in the home Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Yes to kids 12 years old or older Apartment Friendly: No Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence required, 5'-6' height required.  No electric fence as Kenny has a high prey drive for yard critters Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home/Adopter: Kenny thrives on a calm home and a routine. He needs to be able to get his energy out by going on walks, playing with doggie friends, and playing with his people. He loves to snuggle in bed next to his person at night. He is a great sleeper! Kenny is a shy guy and still working on his confidence, so he will need an adopter with a little bit of patience as he transitions to a new home. What makes this dog special: Kenny has a heart full of love and a playful spirit to match! This affectionate boy is a champion cuddler, always ready to shower you with hugs and kisses. He is smart, knows his commands, and thrives on adventure- whether it's going for walks or romping around with his medium and large foster siblings. This boy is ready for a person/family that loves hiking, running, and FUN. To ensure his safety and happiness, Kenny needs a home with a 5-foot fence, no cats due to his strong prey drive, older children and a doggie sibling. He is an energetic pup who loves to explore, making daily walks a must and playtime with doggie pals. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, enthusiastic companion, Kenny might be your perfect match. He is up for a car ride at any time. Kenny is the entire package. Incredibly sweet, highly intelligent, super loving, and an affectionate workout partner. Kenny is looking for a place to enjoy his life with a new active person/family. Kenny is fully housebroken, walks well on a leash, and loves nothing more than spending his time with his person or persons, whether that be playing or cuddling on the couch. Kenny thrives on a routine. He is a unique dog, and we are hoping for that special person/family to come through and give this sweet boy a chance at the loving home he so richly deserves. Kenny's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved. ##1626790##

Harrison is approx. 10 years old, he is very well mannered, walks well on a leash, crate & house trained.  He loves to sit outside and go for walks. He also loves toys.   He can be very protective of his home and family.   He does have a strong prey drive, so he would do best in a home without cats. Harrison doesn't always understand his own strength/size, so would probably do best in a home with older children. Harrison's adoption fee is $175. He is neutered, UTD on vacccines, micro-chipped, and HW tested.March 6, 2025, 12:38 pm
