Cocoa

Breed: Chocolate Lab mix
Sex: Female, still needs her spay surgery
Estimated Birth Date: 4/1/2020
Size: Small, about 25 pounds
Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Yes
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Unknown. Her foster left her out of the crate on several occasions and she wasn’t destructive

Recommended Environment: Cocoa is a little timid at first so her new family must be patient with her when she sees new things. She will require several good long walks during the day. A runner in the family would be great for her! She would enjoy having a dog or child playmate.

Additional Information: Cocoa is faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap 4 foot fences in a single bound. No, she’s not Superman but she could be! She cannot be left unattended in a yard, even if it is fenced in. She is good on a leash and loves everyone she meets, though sometimes it takes her a few minutes to warm up to new people. She is a very loving and loyal dog. Cocoa loves her sleep. She likes to go to bed around 9:30, with or without her person and will happily wait in their bed for them to come snuggle with her. She doesn’t like getting in the car but is fine going on rides once she is on board.

In a Foster Home.
Adoptions are restricted to a 30 mile radius of Columbus so we can complete her vaccinations and spay surgery with our vets

Trapper

Breed: Beagle
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 9/15/2019
Size: Medium, 25 pounds
Good With Kids: Unknown but we don’t feel it will be an issue
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes, he is always looking for a new friend
Housetrained: Yes, he will alert when he needs to go out
Crate Trained: Yes, he goes willingly but doesn’t love it

Recommended Environment: True to his breed, Trapper likes to follow his nose. He loves going on walks and smelling everything! Beagles are very intelligent and require a fair amount of activity. We are not requiring a fenced in yard but he would love one. He would do well with a canine companion in the home.

Additional Information: Trapper likes attention and snuggling but he is also fine entertaining himself. A variety of toys that are changed out often would be a good idea. He is working on his leash manners but quickly forgets them when he sees a potential playmate. He is relatively calm, very sweet and well-behaved.

In a foster home

Milo

Breed: Beagle Mix
Sex: Male
Estimated Birth Date: December 2020
Size: 17 pounds (may be around 45 pounds full grown)
Good With Kids: Yes, but he is a puppy and is learning to not play too rough
Good With Other Dogs: Yes
Good With Cats: Unknown
Housetrained: In process but making great progress
Crate Trained: Almost! He needs to be encouraged to get in his crate; treats work well. He will bark for a few minutes when placed in it at night but settles down and sleeps through the night.

Recommended Environment: Milo gets very attached to his people and will follow them everywhere. He would prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time, especially since he is still young and working on his potty training. He is an energetic puppy that loves having kids or another dog to play with. Beagles are very intelligent so activity is important. Be prepared to go on lots of walks but there will be many pit stops as he has to smell everything!

Additional Information: Milo is learning to walk on a leash and will need training of basic commands. He is entertaining to watch when he plays; he makes funny noises and bunny hops when he plays with his toys. When it is time for a nap, he gets very snuggly.

Currently in a foster home. Since Milo is not neutered yet, we are restricting his adoption area to within 30 miles of Columbus.

Luna

Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog
Sex: Female, spayed
Estimated Birth Date: February 2016
Size: 45 pounds but she needs to put a little weight on. This shouldn’t be a problem; she is VERY food motivated
Good With Kids: Yes but since she is a little timid, children must be over the age of 10
Good With Other Dogs: Yes
Good With Cats: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Luna needs a home where she can comfortably acclimate in her own time. Loud noises and sudden movements startle her so she will do better in a calm and quiet home with patient people. She likes having a canine companion so a home with another dog would be best. She loves going on walks and is good on a leash.

Additional Information: Microchipped. Luna is a bit timid and takes a little while to warm up to her people. She isn’t afraid to let you know when she wants more attention; she will put her paw on your arm for more petting. She also gets up on her hind legs to give hugs. She likes to spend time in a dry empty bathtub. We haven’t figured that one out yet!
Currently in a foster home. We are accepting applications within 30 miles of Columbus, Ohio.

Mercury

Breed: Mountain Cur
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: October 2020
Size: Currently 25 pounds but estimated to be 45-50 pounds when full grown
Good With Kids: Yes, but we will only place with children 4 and older. He is energetic and may knock down toddlers
Good With Cats: Yes
Good With Other Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: In progress. He is starting to alert his foster when he needs to go out
Crate trained: Yes. He sleeps in it at night but will bark during the day if he hears people in the house

Recommended Environment: He will need plenty of exercise and attention. Since he is a bigger boy with lots of energy, we feel he would do best in a home with children over the age of 4. Since he is still young, he will need work with basic commands and leash training.

Additional Information: Mercury (or Moose, as his foster is calling him) is a typical puppy with spurts of energy and snuggles in between. He is intelligent and praise and treat motivated so training should be easy. He is currently in a foster home with children, a cat, and another dog. He is shy about meeting new people but warms up quickly. Since he is not fully vaccinated yet, we prefer to place him in the Columbus, Ohio area so that we may complete his veterinary care.

Ruby

Breed:  Yorkshire Terrier Mix
Sex:  Female (spay surgery has been scheduled)
Estimated Birthdate:  February 2019
Size:  Toy, under 7 pounds
Good With Kids:  We haven’t tested her but feel that children over 10 would be best
Good With Cats:  We haven’t tested her
Good With Dogs:  Not at all
House trained:  Mostly.  She will go outside but hasn’t learned to signal yet
Crate trained:  In process.  She will go in if her people are home but will bark when left alone
Recommended Environment: Ruby needs to be the only dog in the home.  She will do best with older children as sudden noises and movements tend to startle her.  Since she is still getting used to a crate, she wouldn’t do well in an apartment where her barking will annoy her neighbors.  At this point she needs to go out every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents inside, so she needs someone that is not gone for long periods of time.
Additional Information:  Ruby is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and give kisses.  She has an impressive vertical jump and likes to pretend to dig and hide her toys.  She likes to go on walks but will need some more leash training.  She does like being the center of attention.
