🐾Pretty Penny
🐾Female
🐾Age: 2-3 years old
🐾Weight: 25 lbs
🐾Breed: Beagle Mix
Hi, I’m Pretty Penny — a sweet, shy, and gentle girl who’s still learning the world is safe. I may take a little time to warm up, but I’m getting braver every day. Once I trust you, I’ll quietly follow you around and settle into cozy spots where I feel secure. I’ve met multiple dogs and done well with them, though I prefer polite dog friends who respect my space. I haven’t met children or cats yet. I’m crate trained, sleep through the night, and often choose my crate as my safe place. I do need to be crated when left alone, but I’m low-energy and do well with a steady routine. I’m improving on leash and enjoy short walks, backyard sniffing time, and relaxing at home. I’m a quiet beagle, a gentle lounge pup with big adorable ears and a soft heart. I love Milk Bones, chicken chews, and crinkly stuffies. I do have Lyme disease, but it doesn’t seem to bother me, and my rescue is monitoring and treating it as advised. My ideal home is patient, loving, and kind — one that gives me safety, routine, and gentle encouragement as I continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who’s slowly opening her heart, I might be your Pretty Penny.

🐾Hero
🐾Male
🐾Age: 3 years
🐾Weight: 65 lbs
🐾Breed: Bulldog/Lab Mix
🐾Trial Adoption Eligible
Hey, I’m Hero — also known as Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie (I answer to them all). I’m about three years old and finally learning how to just be a dog. I’m fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and I’m honestly a pretty chill guy who loves routine and being close to my people. I know my commands — sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, place, and shake — and I thrive with positive reinforcement, structure, and clear boundaries. Walks, training, puzzles, and fenced-in yard time keep my smart brain happy. I’m deeply loyal and affectionate once I trust you.To be successful, I need to be the only animal in the home. I’ve shown resource guarding and reactivity with other pets, so a calm, predictable environment without other animals is best. I’m also not a fit for homes with children under 15.
I’m not a ā€œtake me everywhereā€ dog — I’m a ride-or-die companion for the right, experienced and patient adopter who will respect my boundaries. In return, I’ll give you unwavering loyalty and love. I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program so approved adopters can get to know me at home before making it official.
Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org
Adoption fee: $350.
Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older.
Children must be 15+

🐾Miss Scarlett
🐾Female
🐾Age: 1 year
🐾Weight: 26 lbs
🐾Breed: Heeler Mix
Hi, I’m Miss Scarlett! I’m a loving, happy, high-energy girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. I’m always ready for fun, whether that means playing outside with balls and frisbees, going for walks, chewing on bones, cuddling with stuffed animals, or soaking up all the attention I can get. I’m house trained, crate trained, and walk well on a leash. I’m also great with kids and enjoy being part of the family. I do get along with some dogs, (better with male dogs), but I would be happiest as the only dog in the home so I can enjoy all the love and attention from my people. Cats are not for me. I’m looking for an active family who can keep up with my playful side and give me plenty of exercise, walks, and time outside. After I’ve had my fun, I’m more than happy to turn into a total cuddle baby. I love treats of all kinds, toys, balls, frisbees, stuffed animals, bones, walks, playtime, and snuggles. If you’re looking for the best all-around happy gal — energetic, affectionate, loyal, and full of love — I might just be your girl.
