Story
`Roscoe is a big-headed, big-hearted cuddle bug who enjoys a good walk, sniffing games, and the occasional burst of zoomies before settling in as close as possible to his person. He loves puzzle toys, treats, and playtime, knows sit and down, and genuinely enjoys training. He does best with routine and enrichment and can entertain himself, but he’s also very people-focused and affectionate once he feels comfortable. Roscoe can be strong on leash and may pull, so continued leash training will be helpful. He has liked some of the dogs he’s met so far and would benefit from slow, planned, and monitored introductions to new people and pets. He appears housetrained, with some leeway needed during the first few days in a new routine. Roscoe can be a bit anxious at times, especially with car rides or brief separations, but he settles well with reassurance and structure.

Story
I was transferred to OCAS from another shelter. I`m a sweet gal and I have done well with staff handling me at the shelter. I can be a dog selective, meaning I do well with some dogs but not with others. Like all newly adopted pets, I will need slow, monitored introductions to new people or pets in a home. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets.Please consider adopting me, I`m a great dog!Foster notes on Megan:`We first stopped by Food Lion to get some canned dog food as a treat. I then drove to my house and she did great in the car just curious and but really wanted to seat beside me in the passenger seat. Megan and I then took a 30 min walk around my neighborhood and within minutes she learned that I didn`t like pulling and she responded with some quick corrections and walked by my side. We then came in side and she was curious about my home and just explored room to room and then enjoyed some food. Then we relaxed and she was respectful and did not come on the couch. We then took another walk and she remembered not to pull. Such a sweet, wonderful, intelligent lady! Very smart, a quick learner and doesn`t pull on the leash.``She is a fully house trained dog and an amazing friend. She came over for a sleepover and had zero accidents, stayed home alone for 4 hours and waited patiently while we prepared her food. She is super trainable in just one day she learned to give her paw, bring her toy and drop it, and to go to her bed. She is super treat motivated but would never jump on a counter to steal food. She loves playing but also sleeps a good amount of time. She would only get on the couch when we invited her over otherwise she would sleep in her bed. She would get on the couch when we were away. She is the cutest pup who is a perfect fit for a home that will give her lots of love! She loves being close to humans and is so mindful of her space. Favorite thing: How fast she learns new commands and that she is very obedient even though she’s young.`

Story
Hello! I was surrendered to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I am a little older, but I`m ready to have fun and I still have lots of love to give! I am reported to be good with cats, dogs, and kids in my previous home. All newly adopted pets will need slow, monitored introductions to new people or pets in a home. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets.INSIGHTS FROM MY ADVENTURE BUDDIES:`Very gentle - took treats sooo gently. Not a mean bone in this boy`s body. He is pretty good on a leash. Loves food :) We went on a walk and to a coffee shop. Finished with a pup cup. Did great in the car and was a perfect boy the whole time. Saw lots of other people, kids and dogs and he was very chill. He`s very gentle. I think he`d be a great family dog.`

Story
We first met Hank (aka Wrinkle Daddy) 5 years ago at our local shelter. We were told at the time that he was 2 years old, making him 7 now. We instantly fell in love with his sweet face and goofy personality and took him home that day. Hank looks forward to a daily walk but otherwise is the ultimate couch companion! This snuggly and affectionate guy loves to curl up with people and will even ask to get under a blanket with you if you’re inclined to let him. Hank has received professional training and responds to basic commands. He is very food motivated which makes additional treat training easier. We love this dog and think he would make a great solo pet for the right household!

Story
Hi there! My name is Josephine. Thanks for checking out my bio! I'm roughly 4 years old, but a true lady never reveals her age. Other than that, I don't have many secrets, and I have so much to tell you! I currently live with 3 other dogs, and I love all of them. I've also met some dogs on my various outings, and I think all of them have been super cool. I love to chew on toys and am happy to chill and hang out wherever you are, so I'm an ideal work from home buddy. I love pets, and I'm not shy about letting you know when I'm ready for them. No playing hard to get here-I'm a girl who knows what she wants! However, I don't like to yell or talk loudly and would much rather whisper sweet stories in your ear. In the mornings or when something exciting happens, I'll talk (grunt/grumble) up a storm, but overall, I'm a pretty quiet gal. I like to sleep in my pen at night and for naps during the day. A woman needs her beauty sleep. So, see...I'm sort of perfect! Now that I've won you over with all of my charm, let's get real with each other. I was in pretty rough shape when my foster humans found me, and they've done so much to help me. But just like everyone, I'm still a work in progress. I'm heartworm positive but have already completed all of my treatment. So now I just have to wait a few months to get retested and get that negative test result back to be officially heartworm free. Not so bad, right?! I also came to them unable to use my back legs. I do have feeling in them; they just don't like to talk to my brain right now. Maybe that's why I like to chat so much-to make up for my silly legs! The good news is I can get around really well with my front legs. I can scoot on the floor all by myself, or if you're up for some teamwork, I can walk around while you hold my back legs up with a sling. I also have a really cool wheelchair. Using it is a lot of work and can be tiring, but I love using it for short distances or to walk around the yard like an independent woman! I'm going to physical therapy twice a week to help my legs talk to my brain and keep them nice and strong. It's a lot of work, but I'm making impressive progress. And I'll need my new humans to keep up my therapy so I can keep it up! I'm now able to stand on my own and even take a step or two! Let's find out together how far I can go! Finally, I know it's sometimes considered impolite to talk about bathroom stuff. But with a pup like me, it's best to be up front. I know to do my business outside, but because I'm paralyzed in my back end, I have some trouble in that department. Poops are pretty easy most of the time. I just need extra help getting in position and balancing. Going pee is a little more difficult for me. It's hard for me to get everything out, so I'll need my new humans to assist me and express my bladder. But don't worry, my foster humans can show you how! And I like to think of all of this as a unique bonding opportunity! I know some of this might seem a bit overwhelming, but I have no doubt the perfect family is out there for me! Plus, my foster humans are ready to help answer any and all questions, so let's talk more and see if we're a match!

Story
🐾 Introducing Sweet Honeybun! 🐾 Sweet Honeybun is a joyful, affectionate girl with a playful spark and a whole lot of love to give. Curious and energetic, she thrives with a steady routine and would shine brightest as the center of attention in her forever home.

This smart pup is house-trained, crate-trained, knows how to sit, and takes treats with the softest, sweetest manners. Sweet Honeybun absolutely lights up when meeting new people. She feels most comfortable in a small, calm household and would do wonderfully in a low‑energy environment. On walks, she stays relaxed when passing other dogs and is continuing to refine her leash skills. She’s ready to bring her goofy grin, gentle nature, and endless affection to a family who will cherish her just as much as she’ll cherish them. HEALTH She’s spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully current on vaccines and preventatives. HISTORY Sweet Honeybun is from a local shelter where she arrived as a stray. She was a staff and volunteer favorite. PHYSICAL She has a slim, athletic build, a short fawn coat and white chest.
