(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Zuko was adopted in 2021 from an accidental litter near my home. He was born in August, and turns 5 this year. Zuko needs room to run, and people to cuddle him. He is a lover of a dog and enjoys being loved on. He loves toys, balls and bones. Zuko is high energy, but low maintenance. He is not suitable for an apartment, because he will bark when he needs to go out. Im looking for someone who is willing to play with him, take him to walk or have a fenced in yard/outside area he is able to run in. He gets along with our other dog, but unfortunately can be dog reactive with others. He has had no issues with the child in the home or children outside the home. He has always been an anxious dog but has never shown any signs of aggression due to it, he just runs away from things he doesnt like. He is caged trained, potty trained, and eats dry food. Zuko is behind on shots.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet SPOT, the ultimate bundle of energy who's back at the Harrison County Dog Pound in Cadiz, OH, because his previous owners just couldn't keep up with this Aussie/Pittie loving party animal. SPOT's got more enthusiasm than a toddler on a sugar high and needs a home where his humans are into extreme hiking or jogging - or at the very least, have a large yard and a love for fetch. This little guy lives for toys, but let's be real, he's destroyed many a toy in his time. On the plus side, SPOT's housebroken, gets along swimmingly with other dogs and cats, and is fully vetted. Due to his 'bounce off the walls' personality, older kids only, please. With some training and patience, SPOT could be the perfect companion for an active family willing to take on the challenge. Harrison County Dog Pound. 82900 Toot Rd. Cadiz, OH 43950. Open: Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm; Saturday 9am-2pm; closed Sundays and holidays. Adoption applications are available at the pound or online at harrisoncountydogpoundvolunteers.org. Apple users must submit application using Google, not Safari. Out of state adoptions are welcomed. $40 adoption fee. 740-942-4080

Australian Shepherd

Female, 3 yrs 4 mos
Wooster, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Briley, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her energy! This beautiful girl is the total package—smart, affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. Briley is incredibly intelligent (no surprise there!) and thrives when she has something to do, whether it’s going for long walks, learning new tricks, or just being your shadow around the house. She’s the kind of dog who forms strong bonds with her people and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing. Briley would do best in an active home that can keep both her mind and body busy—she’s not one to sit on the sidelines for long! After a day of fun, though, she’s more than happy to settle in for some quality cuddle time.

Story
Mr. Waffles AKA Waffi:He was bought from a puppy mill in 2020 we know his parents were chocolate lab and australian shepherd, but not pure bred. He is fully house trained! doesn't have any accidents in the house. He does best with Pedigree Adult dog food. Tends to have tummy issues if given anything else. He was raised around so many little children in my family and they could jump on him and he would just give kisses! He is kind of a scaredy cat especially around men, but once he knows you he will love you. He loves attention and affirmations. He has some sort of stimulation issues.... He needs to stay busy till he gets too tired. lights, shadows, and noises can all rile him up so being around kids can sometimes not be so good. With his age he gets tired faster than when he was a puppy which has been nice. I usually let him have zoomies outside and he comes in to crash on the couch. I am traveling this summer/fall, no one wants to take care of him, so I am trying to find a nice family
