Callie
Adult • Female • Medium
If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and loyal companion, Callie may just be your perfect match! Callie is a two-year-old, 42-pound Shepherd/Pitbull/Collie mix. Callie is the type of dog who loves to be surrounded by her people. Whether it's lounging on the couch after a fun play session or keeping a close eye on the backyard (because, you know, squirrels must be chased), she's content as long as she's by your side. She's also a fan of training, especially when there's a treat involved! She has been working hard at learning to train with a clicker and has already shown us that she's a smart cookie who catches on quickly. She would love a family who enjoys teaching her new tricks and can continue her training. Callie is a social butterfly with just a few boundaries! She gets along well with dogs but is a bit selective, and definitely not a fan of cats. She really enjoys going to doggy daycare at Camp Bow Wow, but she'd do best in a home where she is an only dog, or a home where introductions to new dog friends are slow and steady. Because she's still young and energetic, we think she'd do best in a home with an active person or older kids who can match her playfulness and help her continue learning her manners. Callie is a playful, active girl who would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard (because, as mentioned, squirrels don't stand a chance!). She loves running, chewing on a bone and licking up some peanut butter, but most of all, she'd love to be part of your family! The Details: House-trained: Yes! Crate-trained: Absolutely. Sleep habits: Callie sleeps through the night in her crate like a champ. Likes: Training, chewing on toys, snuggling, fetching her favorite orange ball, and close cuddles Dislikes: Cats (no surprise there, given her squirrel-chasing tendencies), sharing toys with other doggy friends Callie's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting Callie, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.

Lizzy
Adult • Female • Medium
Name: Lizzy Gender: Female Current Age: 12 years Current Age Range: Senior (7 years or older) Current Weight: Chunky queen status (working on it!) Expected Adult Size: Small (under 25 lbs) Breed: Chihuahua Energy Level: Low Dog Friendly: Yes, gets along with two foster sister chihuahuas and has met big dogs with no drama. Cat Friendly: No Kids: Yes to older children only Apartment Friendly: Yes Fence Requirements: Not required Crate Trained: Not specified Potty Trained: Yes will go outside or use pee pads Ideal Home / Adopter: I'm looking for a calm, cozy forever home where I can be adored like the royalty I am. Somewhere with soft blankets, tasty snacks, and a lap or two to call my own. Bonus points if there are no cats trying to stage a cuddle coup. A quiet home with older kids would be perfect. Personality: Hola, I'm Lizzy! I'm a 12-year-old chunky Chi diva with a heart full of sassitude and love! I was found strutting through the streets of Southwest Columbus, clearly on an adventure (but probably in need of a GPS and a snack). When I was rescued, I was in pretty rough shape. My toenails were gnarled, my hair was matted with dead fur, and I was definitely not feeling like my fabulous self. My temporary family says I'm overweight rude... but I swear I dropped a pound the moment foster mama brushed me. Instant glow-up, baby! Now that I'm getting proper love and care, I'm making big strides with both my weight and my bossy girl behavior. Let's talk personality: I'm a professional cuddler, world-class couch potato, and deeply committed to loving my humans. I give lots of kisses and demand belly rubs on the regular. Quirks & Perks: I do some alert barking (a girl's gotta keep the household informed!), but I'm easily redirected, especially with treats. I'm treat-motivated, but I have refined tastes: no stinky bones, please. I prefer soft, tasty, easy-to-chew goodies. Potty time? I'm flexible. I'll go outside or use pee pads because I'm a lady. I've got a big, fluffy coat, which means I can overheat easily. I need a home with good air conditioning in the summer because I do get a little huffy-puffy if I get too hot. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
Strudel
Adult • Female • Medium
Gender: Female Age: 2.5 years Current Weight: 63 lbs Expected Adult Size: Large (50-100 lbs) Breed: Shepherd Mix Energy Level: Medium Dog Friendly: Yes, and can have other dogs in the home or can be an only dog Cat Friendly: Yes Kid Friendly: Yes, any age Apartment Friendly: No Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise Crate Trained: Yes for short periods of time Potty Trained: Yes Strudel is an affectionate, playful pup looking for a home to call her own. With her expressive ears, wiggly little stub tail, and joyful personality, she is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face every single day. Since arriving in her foster home, Strudel has made incredible progress. She is thriving with consistent structure and positive reinforcement, and her crate training continues to improve. She is also a quick learner. Her recall cue is Cheesecake (a Golden Girls tribute), and she comes running the moment she hears it. Strudel enjoys the company of other dogs, makes regular visits to the dog park, and does well with cats too. She will do best in a home that offers clear boundaries, steady routines, and plenty of love and play. She truly thrives when she understands what is expected and gets praise for making good choices. Strudel is ready to be someone's best friend. Whether it is long walks, weekend adventures, or relaxing on the couch, she is eager to be by your side. Strudel's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting Strudel, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
