Fig is looking for a home. This 1 year old girl is part coonhound, part doodle. She was adopted from us about 8 months ago. She is being returned to us because she’s an Olympic level chewer. If she sees it and can reach it, it’s fair game. She needs a family that understands dogs, can dog proof their home, and doesn’t leave Fig unsupervised to her own devices. Fig was dumped as a puppy and had to be trapped with her brother to be brought to safety. Now she’s facing another scary, uncertain time in her life.This girl, while a voracious chewer while unsupervised, has many wonderful qualities. She’s housebroken and crate trained. She’s excellent with other dogs and routinely goes to dog parks and doggy daycare. She walks beautifully on a leash and rides like a champ in the car. She easily trained to an invisible fence. She will chase cats but not in an aggressive way.Shes not a Velcro dog, but she loves a good snuggle on the sofa. She can be a little timid, and small children that are loud and move fast can be a lot for her. She’s an energetic pup, but not off the wall, crazy energy. Fig would do best in a home with older school aged children. We believe she would love a canine companion to play with and distract her from chewing things she shouldn’t. Continued training is recommended. If you think you can love this girl, quirks and all, click the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on regular prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. Please share! ... See MoreSee Less

We are ready to start accepting applications on Charlie. This 3 month old Corgi-Husky mix got a clean bill of health and his first set of vaccines yesterday. This doll baby has been exceptional in his foster home acclimating to the cats, big dogs, and young children.At 3 months of age, he’s still a baby, a work in progress. You will need to commit to continued training with him. He’s getting the idea of housebreaking but he will still have an occasional accident. He has starting the puppy chewing and biting that is common at this age, consistent redirection will be key. Charlie is very food motivated. You can use that to your advantage to continue his training. If this boy looks like the perfect fit for your home, apply using the link in the comments below.

3 weeks with Athena. Today she was introduced to puppy formula mixed with canned food. As you can see by her face, she’s a big fan!In the next week or two once she’s consistently eating food without bottle supplements we will be looking for a foster to adopt home. Athena will need a home in Central or Southeastern Ohio so that she can receive veterinary care at one of our two partner clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. Once Athena is spayed you will be able to transfer her to the clinic of your choice.This little babe has zero immunity. Other pets in your home MUST be current on vaccinations administered by a vet clinic, on regular prevention for flea/tick/heartworm and spay/neutered.
