Daisy
ID# C8087 |
 |
Hank
ID# C8086 |
|
Daisy is a female mixed breed puppy
that was probably born around
December 2007. Daisy was adopted
from the dog shelter by a family
that was not allowed to have pets in
their apartment: needless to say she
was soon after brought to us. Daisy
is a sweet girl that deserves a
loving forever home.
Adoption Fee: $130.00 |
Hank is a 2-3 year old male yellow
lab. We rescued Hank after he had
basically been abandoned. He was
tied up in his previous owner’s back
yard and never socialized. By the
time we got to Hank he was so
dehydrated he could not swallow any
food. Based on his condition and
level of dehydration there was no
medical reason for him to still be
alive. The fact that Hank survived
this neglect is nothing short of a
miracle. Hank was very reserved at
first and even a little aggressive;
but it hasn’t taken him long to
realize that not every human wants
to hurt him. Now that he knows we
are there to help him he has shown
us what a sweet boy he really is. He
surprisingly shows no food
aggression whatsoever and is great
with children. If you think you
could provide Hank with the loving
forever home he deserves please stop
by and meet him!

Charlie is a black male Schipperke
that was born in August 2006.

Schipperke personality and would
make a great addition to most any
home
Adoption Fee: $130.00 |
Bently is a male pointer mix that is
about four years of age. Bently was
dumped at the shelter after hours so
little is known of his past. While
in our care he has demonstrated a

deserves a very good home.

Jordan
ID# C8035 |

Jackson
ID# C8038 |
|
Jordan is one of Winnie’s puppies;
he is also Annie’s brother. If you
have not yet heard Annie’s
heartbreaking story here is a little
history: Winnie was rescued from the
dog shelter by our Director just
three days before she delivered her
puppies on 2/13/08. Before her
arrival at the dog shelter Winnie
had been eating rocks and cigarette
butts because she was so starved. By
the time Winnie had come to be in
our care she was so emaciated and
dehydrated we were uncertain she
would survive childbirth. We
administered fluids and fed her as
well as we could to prepare her for
the event. It was nothing short of a
miracle when Winnie gave birth to
seven puppies that appeared to be
perfectly healthy. As you may know
this proved not to be the case with
Annie: she has suffered a myriad of
difficulties in regards to her
health. However Jordan has proven to
be a very healthy boy despite his
rough start to life.

Scooter and his brothers Dave and
Blake are from a litter of Mountain
Feist puppies. If you are interested
in adopting any of these boys please
read more about the breed. A great
place to start is
http://dogbreedinfo.com/mountainfeist.htm.
This is a type of squirrel hunting
dog. The man that surrendered these
puppies to us uses his parents for
that very purpose. However the dad
accidentally got into the mom’s pen
and a “surprise” litter was born!
The owner had no use for the pups at
this time and preferred to see them
go to good homes rather than to just
sell them so he brought them to us.
These boys are ornery to say the
least! Especially Scooter! Scooter
is a wild man that is very vocal and
has lots of energy. These boys would
really benefit from puppy classes
and being a high energy breed will
require regular exercise their
entire lives.

Abby
ID# C8036 |
 |
Brendan
ID# C8033 |
|
Abby is the runt of Winnie's litter.
She is a little fighter, just like
her momma. She is a typical little
hound dog with lots of exploring to
do, but like her brother, she will
snuggle right up as soon as she gets
the chance. Abby is currently in a
foster home with her brother,
Brendan, catching up to the rest of
the litter. She is doing
fantastically, but if you'd like to
meet her, please call ahead so we
can make sure that she is here!
Adoption Fee: $130.00 |
Brendan is one of Winnie's puppies
born on 2/13/08. He's got a typical

loves to explore! Brendan is such a
sweet boy, though, and really loves
to snuggle with his "people."
Brendan will make a great pet for
any family!

Bella is a female Aierdale mix that
was born on 10/25/07. Bella was
adopted out from our shelter as a
small puppy and was recently
returned: not because of anything
she had done rather there were
personal issues within the family.
Her previous owners claim that Bella
is a terrific companion: she is
great with children and she is
housetrained. Bella adores other
animals as well. Unfortunately the
picture posted here does not due
Bella justice. She was so excited to
be out of her run all she wanted to
do was cuddle and explore! The last
thing she wanted to do was pose for
the camera. Please come and visit
Bella at the shelter and see what a
pretty girl she is!

Elsa is a two year old Norwegian
Elkhound mix. Elsa is very scared in
the shelter and is very shy. In fact
she was going to be euthanized at
the dog shelter because she hid in
the back of her run and no one ever
noticed her. But as we have learned;
past that quiet and timid demeanor
is a very sweet and affectionate
girl.

owners because they no longer had
“room” for her. According to her
previous owners Suki is housebroken,
good with other dogs, and good with
kids. However Suki is very skittish
around people and will require an
experienced owner/handler. Potential

Samie is a young female Basset Hound
that simply showed up as a stray on
someones doorstep. Samie is a very
sweet girl that loves attention! Her
favorite type of attention is to

obedience training. Please visit;

Tia came to us with injured foot

no puppies to be found. Tia is a
little timid and shy but she is very
friendly and loving once you give
her a little time.

Rex
ID# C7258 |
 |
Cletus
ID# C8020 |

Rex is a young male mixed breed that
was found running stray. We suspect
that he is mixed with chow and black
lab but who knows where those crazy
ears came from! He is very active
with a goofy personality. He loves
all people and animals and just
wishes someone loved him back enough
to take him home forever!
Adoption Fee: $100.00 |

ID# C7245 |
 |
Holly
ID# C7246 |
|
Chester is a very sweet natured male
Rotweiller/ Shepard mix puppy that
was probably born around July of
2007. This poor little guy was hit
by a car and as a result is
suffering from a broken leg.
Fortunately his leg is almost
completely healed and he is
currently seeking his forever
family! Chester is a very high
energy dog and would do best with
regular exercise and/or a fenced in
yard.

Holly is a female Chow/Black Lab mix
who is VERY sweet. Holly has had a
rough life. Someone dumped Holly in
the back pen overnight; it was
raining and just above freezing out.
Holly was very cold and soaking wet.
She was nearly starved to death: you
could clearly see every rib and
every vertebra on her tiny body.
Holly was also missing most of he
hair and was covered in sores as a
result of demodectic mange. Despite
her heartbreaking appearance and
empty belly she has always had the
sweetest disposition. Holly is very
quiet and calm and gets along well
with other dogs. She loves everyone
and only wants someone to pay her a
bit of attention. During her stay
Holly has nearly reached her ideal
weight and most of her hair is at
least beginning to grow back. She is
content just to have a warm place to
sleep and food in her bowl. The only
thing that could possibly make this
sweet girl any happier is for
someone to take her home.
Adoption Fee: $100.00 |

Marmaduke
ID# C7051 |
 |
Addie
ID# C7162 |
|
Marmaduke was born in January of
this year to a litter of 5 chow mix
puppies; Marmaduke and his brother
Rosco are the only two remaining
from that litter. Both boys are
typical energetic puppies who can’t
wait for a forever home that has
lots of toys and room to run and
play!
Adoption fee: $130.00 |
Addie is a three month old, female,
brindle, whippet mix, who was found
stray in Pickerington. Addie is
somewhat timid at first and probably
should not be trusted around small
children. Once Addie knows you do
not intend to harm her she is very
sweet and loving.
Adoption Fee $130.00 |

Truman
ID# C7177 |
|
|
|
Truman is a one year old male mixed
breed with LOTS and LOTS of energy!
Truman was dumped in the back pen of
the shelter after hours. He appears
to be housetrained; he will not go
in his run and goes in the grass
when the kennel tech takes him out
in the morning. Truman is a big dog
and is probably most of the way done
growing but he still may get bigger.
Potential adopters need to
understand that what they are
getting themselves into; Truman is
one big rowdy boy! A fenced in yard
is probably a VERY good idea. Truman
is very happy to be alive and loves
people!
Adoption Fee $90.00 |
