Norman

Norman

Norman is a Yellow Lab mix who is approximately 1.5 yrs old. He is a great size, 54 lbs, and is a really nice boy. He’s been fostered other dogs and cats and did just fine. He was found as a stray and nobody came forward for him, which is hard to believe because he’s such a great dog. Norman has just entered into our canine/inmate program and already knows some commands. He tends to pull on a leash but that is being worked on and certainly easy to correct with time and consistency! If you would like to meet this easygoing, beautiful boy, please fill out an online application.

Abby

Abby

Abby is a Beagle/Terrier mix who has rejoined our program. She was adopted and did well in the family home, but due to her young age and breed mix, she was too active for their lifestyle. Abby is a typical puppy. She is a busy bee that likes to investigate everything. She is very intelligent mixed with the Terrier “stubborn streak” which simply means that her new person needs to be willing to put forth the time and commitment to being consistent with her training. She is doing great in the prison program and is being exposed to new commands and a variety of sights, smells and sounds. She will be a wonderful companion for an active family or individual. If you would like to meet Abby, please fill out an online application.

Baxter

Baxter

Baxter is an adorable Yellow Lab mix. He looks like a large Lab that was thrown in the dryer and shrunk!! He was surrendered in a rural county by people that kept him tied outside. He is just now learning about the comforts of being indoors. Baxter is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He enjoys being around people and does fine with other dogs as well. He has not been cat tested and is learning basic commands and leash manners in the canine/inmate program. Baxter is energetic and LOVES playing ball. He would let you throw it all day long and never stop fetching! If you would like to meet Baxter and give him a loving home, please fill out an online application.

Faye’s Puppies Males

Faye’s Puppies Males

Faye’s babies were born 7/10/2015 and are now ready to find their forever homes! Faye has been a wonderful momma and the pups have been socialized with other dogs, a cat, and people of all ages. The litter has 3 females and 5 males…all 3 females are black with tan markings. 3 of the males are black with tan markings, some have a bit of white, and there is 1 completely tan pup and 1 that is tan and white. We will be placing the puppies into homes based on matching their personalities to the home of the applicant. Please specify on your application if you prefer a male/female/or either. Adopting a puppy can be an exciting time, but once the “novelty stage” wears off, you must be committed to developing a healthy relationship by putting in hard work and remaining dedicated. Training, socialization, supervision, proper nutrition and vet care are all components of bringing a new family pet home. Because we are anticipating a high volume of applications for Faye’s puppies, please be aware of our requirements and have patience while we select the best matches!

  • All applicants must be in the greater Columbus area.
  • Puppies will be seen by our certified veterinarian in Westerville or Grove City for their booster shots and spay/neuter surgery. You will be required to make and keep these appointments!
  • Puppy experience is preferred.
  • No children under the age of 2 (simply because puppies require time and attention and it is difficult to be a superhero!).

DOB: 7/10/2015
Weight: at 6 weeks old puppies are approximately 10 lbs. They will all be large (60+ lbs when full grown.) This is our best estimation.
Breed mix: Mother is a Yellow Lab mix, Father(s) unknown.
Please fill out an online application if you are interested in adopting one of Faye’s puppies!

Bentley

Bentley

Bentley is a stunning German Shepherd/Aussie mix with the most amazing blue eyes. He is 3-4 years old and somewhat underweight at 50 lbs. Bentley came from a hoarding situation and has spent the last year outside on a chain. He is getting adjusted to his surroundings and doing very well. He has entered into our canine/inmate program where he is learning basic commands. We have not had him exposed to cats or to kids so are unsure how he does with either. He is somewhat shy at first, understandably, but warms up quickly with the first ear scratch! If you are interested in meeting this boy with the blazing blue eyes, please fill out an online application.

Beatrice

Beatrice

This lovely little chicken nugget is Beatrice! She is a Beabull…(Beagle/Bulldog mix.) Beatrice is a happy-go-lucky girl who hasn’t met anyone she doesn’t like. She has the stocky bulldog build and the affectionate, funny Beagle personality. Beatrice was clearly loved at some point and was well cared for. She had been a stray at the shelter and no one came looking for her. She does great with kids and has briefly met a cat without incidence. Beatrice will be a wonderful companion for any home (unless you want a jogging partner, she’d rather just watch!) To meet Beatrice, please fill out an online application.

Max

Max

Max is a Black Lab mix who came to us from a rural kill shelter where he had been overlooked…black dogs are often passed over in shelter settings through no fault of their own. He is a young, playful, energetic boy. He has done fine with other dogs but he should be in a home without cats. Max is doing well learning his commands in the prison program and is ready for his forever home. Please fill out an online application in order to meet him!

Baron

Baron

Meet Baron! He’d love to say hello, and run, and say hello, and sniff, and run, and come back to say hello again! He’s a stunning Black Lab/Great Dane mix and will be a large boy, most likely 75+ lbs. Baron joined our rescue due to a change in his owner’s living situation and it is obvious that he was loved. He is full of typical puppy energy and, as with many large breeds, will mature more slowly. We would prefer but do not require large breed puppy experience. While he is beautiful and fun loving, he is also very young. He eats a lot, and will eat a lot more as he grows. He is playful, but that also means he’s capable of taking down a toddler with a swoop of is tail! When adopting a L/XL breed, it is also important to understand that they require regular exercise, but not rigorous due to their rapidly growing bones. Baron has entered into our canine/inmate program and will be exposed to basic commands. He will need continued training and socialization once he is adopted. If you would like to meet this gorgeous pup, please fill out an online application.
Date of birth: April 2015
