Murphy

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Columbus, 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
Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Mack, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform

Story
Meet Hannah! Hannah needs a patient foster to help her acclimate to indoor living. Hannah raised a couple litters of puppies as a stray. We trapped Hannah and also took in one older pup and three young puppies (Hannah is the presumed mother of all four).Despite living as a stray and not having much interaction with humans, Hannah has done surprisingly well acclimating. She is comfortable in a crate and doesnt mind other dogs or cats. She comes when called and lets both adults and children approach and pet her now.Due to Hannahs background, we will require the foster to have a securely fenced yard. Hannahs biggest struggle is with leash training. She has chewed through two leashes so far. She does go to the door when she wants to potty (so we assume at one point she did live indoors) but startles at the sight of a leash.Hannah has the potential to be a terrific dog! She just needs a little help with leash-walking and some time to decompress.Fostering or foster-to-adopt are both options and we can provide a crate, baby gates, harnesses, and leashes to help accommodate Hannah in your home. Her adoption fee, should you choose to adopt, is $250. That includes her future spay as well as heartworm testing, preventatives, and vaccinations.Apply at ricopetrecovery.org if you are interested in fostering or fostering-to-adopt Miss Hannah.

Our fosters took turns throughout the day and night making sure they ate every 4 hours and got lots of love and attention . Belle has the softest fur! Belle is currently 7 months and 27 pounds so she will not be a big dog. Mom was said to be an Aussie mix and dad was unknown. They have been raised with kids, other dogs, lots of snuggling and even occasionally accompanied their fosters to work. Apply to meet them at ricopetrecovery.orgFee is $350 and will cover first 2 sets of vaccines spay and microchip.

Story
Today is Kobes day to find his forever home. Kobe is a very gentle mixed breed. Possibly Australian Shep/Husky mix. He is a little over a year old and only 45 pounds. Kobe is a perfect dog, but just a tad bit shy. He is good with kids, other dogs, cats and every one he has come in contact with. He if a very loving dog that thrives on being part of a family. He would also be a great companion for a dog needing a calm friend. Kobe gets a little nervous when there is a lot of commotion, so a quieter environment may be best. Kobe has beautiful eyes that youll fall in with the minute you meet him. You can apply to meet Kobe at ricopetrecovery.org.Adoption fee is $250 and he is fully vetted.
