Levi

Levi

Meet Levi:
Breed: Beagle/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix
Sex: Male neutered
Age: Young Adult (1-3 years)
Size: Medium (25-50 lbs)
Good with kids: yes
Good with cats: unknown
Housebroken: yes
Recommended environment: Levi loves to be outdoors and would do well in a home where he had the opportunity to take regular walks and also explore. He’s used to other dogs and does fine but has not been cat tested. He has an assertive personality but is not aggressive and genuinely loves attention. Because he’s intelligent he will need a confident owner who utilizes positive reinforcement and provides mental and physical stimulation.
*Canine-Inmate Program*
Additional information: Levi has one solid blue eye and one eye that is 1/2 blue & 1/2 brown. This is very common in the Catahoula breed and does not affect his vision in any way.

Pippin

Meet Pippin!
Breed: Terrier mix
Sex: Male
Age: Puppy (up to 1 year)
Size: Small (up to 25 lbs) when full grown. Estimate only.
Good with kids: yes
Good with cats: yes
Housetrained: in progress
Recommended environment: Pippin is an energetic, playful puppy. He is doing well with crate training and housetraining. Pip’s new home needs to be aware that puppies are so much fun, but they are also work! Ongoing socialization and positive training is a must. We anticipate that he will be a small dog but that is just an estimate based on his current weight and age.
*in a foster home*
Additional information: Pippin was part of a litter that was hospitalized for a week with Parvovirus. All have recovered completely and are ready for forever homes. Because of Pip’s age (approx birthdate 1/15/2018) we are only able to accept Columbus/immediate vicinity applicants. He will need his booster shots and his neuter surgery which is done by our local veterinarian.

Thor

Meet Thor!
Breed: Shepherd mix
Age: Young Adult (1-3 years)
Size: Large (50-100 lbs)
Good with kids: yes
Good with cats: yes
Housebroken: yes
Recommended environment: Thor is a big, loving boy who will do well in a home where he can be with another dog or have someone that can spend time with him. We don’t know his history, but he seems to have had some neglect (not abuse) in his past. His fur was terribly matted and he appeared to have been on his own for awhile. He loves to be with people and we’d like for him not to spend long hours left alone. He’s been fine with cats, kids, and is good with other dogs.
**in a foster home**
Additional information: Thor will need regular brushing in order to maintain his coat.
