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. If you are interested in adopting Murphy, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform

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

Artie is kind and loyal, likes to play but also lay around and be lazy. The kitchen exhaust fan scares him but he’ll ignore it for a piece of cheese. Artie is trained and knows basic commands. He goes to doggy daycare regularly so he is good with other dogs. He is also has a cat sister and wants to chase and play her when she allows it. He is not the biggest fan of children and will sometimes bark at people that aren’t comfortable around dogs.Artie is a great friend, loyal, affectionate, and full of character. He would do best in a home that understands his personality and gives him the space and comfort to truly flourish.Artie is 2 years old and his birthday is November 13th. Up to date on his shots and is neutered.

Story
Magnolia SoxingtonFemaleAge: 1.5 yearsWeight: 50 lbs  Breed: Border Collie/Shepherd Mix Hi, I’m Magnolia Soxington — but my friends call me Maggie Socks or just Mags. I’m a big, sweet goofball with a capital GOOF. I love making friends, soaking up affection, and bringing a little joy and silliness wherever I go. I’m a smart girl, super loving, and every now and then my sassy side likes to make an appearance. I’m still growing into these big paws of mine, so I can be a little floppy and clumsy at times — I may trip over myself now and then, but that just adds to my charm. I get along well with other dogs and kids too! I’m both house trained and crate trained. On leash, I’m very gentle and easy to walk — I don’t pull my people around at all. I’m still figuring out all the details, so I may get us a little tangled up now and then, but I’m making great progress. When I see another dog while we’re out, I can be a little unsure at first and may want to head back home, but I’m building confidence every day and doing better all the time. My kennel is my safe space. I do extremely well in it and settle in comfortably when my people are away. In fact, if I’m left out while they leave the house, I may cry and whine because I miss them and feel unsure. But when I’m tucked into my kennel, I relax and feel secure. Because of that, I do best when I’m crated if left alone. I know some important words too, like my name, “come,” “no,” “good girl,” “kennel,” “out,” and “off.” I love playtime, exploring the backyard, and anything involving squeaky toys. I came from rural Ohio, where I was found alone with another dog who may have been from the same family as me — maybe even a littermate. Even so, even if I had to fend for myself early on, I held onto my sweet heart and loving spirit. More than anything, I’m just a huge love who wants to make as many friends as possible. I’m looking for a home where I can keep building my confidence, keep being my silly self, and be loved for the wonderful, wobbly girl I am. If you are interested in meeting Magnolia Soxington apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2686250##
