This little guy was found in the middle of the woods at only 4 weeks of age. No doubt dumped. His foster has called him Chuck. We aren’t sure that name fits this most regal, long-haired, majestic boy. Like royalty! Maybe Prince Hairy of Junction City. This cutie patootie is feline negative, and had first vaccines. This boy is also litter trained and a real affectionate sweetheart. We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so we can assure his veterinary care is completed. If Prince Hairy aka Chuck is the apple of your eye, please apply clicking the link in the comments below. Please, please share!! ...

Jersey is still waiting for his forever person. Jersey has been showing us more and more of his personality in foster care, and honestly, he’s a pretty great guy.He’s housebroken, crate trained, dog-friendly and cat-friendly. He loves squeaky toys, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and racing around with his foster siblings, And when playtime is over, he’s perfectly happy curling up for some cuddles and affection.Jersey is also a sensitive boy. He can be cautious with new people and needs someone willing to let him take things at his own pace. Quick movements or reaching for him too quickly can make him nervous, but a calm voice and a little patience go a long way. Jersey isn’t asking for much — just someone who will be patient while he learns to trust, and then love him for the sweet boy he is. He’s been waiting long enough. Could you be Jersey’s person? If you have or had other pets in your home please be prepared to provide proof of regular veterinary care such as vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter. Link to apply is listed in the comments below. ...

If you love puppy snuggles and being greeted with pure joy, five month old Nina is the one for you! She is the sweetest, silliest spirit and she’s ready to be your best girl. This special girl is a Lab/pit mixHer favorite thing is having a bone to chew - or mostly to steal from her foster brothers. She will take it anywhere you let her, even outside to go potty. If you roll a ball for her, she is happy to chase it. She is excellent with other dogs and loves to play. She is a happy girl and excited to greet visitors. Nina is very food motivated and eager to learn. She is crate trained and understands “all in,” she knows “sit” and “shake,” she’s working on “come,” but “stay” is haaaaard because she’s so excited and happy. Nina is house trained and will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She’s still a puppy and she’s still learning, so she still has accidents if we don’t realize she’s at the door.If you think Nina could be your new best friend please apply using the link in the comments below. She has finished her vetting and can go anywhere. If you have or had other pets in your home please be prepared to provide proof of regular veterinary care such as vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter. You know what to do………SHARE!! ...
