Story
4 year old pitbull terrier. Very cute. He loves people but; he's nervous around strangers. He has been crate trained but prefers to be with people and his bed. He likes to eat cloth material, so he only plays with hard material toys like rubber rings or bones. He broke his shoulder once so he has some metal screws in his shoulder. He gets lonely easily and gets along with cats really well. He would really enjoy a nice yard to run around in.

She will need a home without cats. She is energetic, playful, and entertaining! Keep in mind, her energy can get her into trouble; she can clear a 6 foot chain link fence!

Story
Meet Lady! She is turning 8 soon and would love to spend her golden years in a home! She is very easygoing and friendly but does take a while to warm up to new people. She is affectionate and intelligent and knows some commands. She is pretty quiet and reserved at the shelter and a loving home would work wonders for her. Lady would do just fine in a home with kids! She gets along with some dogs and not others, but needs a home without cats!More information? Call Marion Area Humane Society at 740-389-6548 or email at manager@mahspets.org

Story
Say hi to Nick! Nick is one of our “longterm residents”, meaning he has been waiting for a home for six months or longer. Nick would make an outstanding companion for somebody willing to work with him a little bit. Nick is obsessed with moving vehicles, and will chase after them. We wouldn’t be surprised if somebody dumped him out of a moving vehicle, or if he took off after one and never found his way back home, as he was picked up as a stray. We think Nick is 1 1/2 - 2 years old. He is a perfect medium size, and although he weighs 50 lbs, he’s compact and fits in our small dog kennels. Nick loves attention and crawling into your lap and getting as close to you as possible. He seems genuine and kindhearted, and it’s difficult to see such a nice dog waste his life in a kennel. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Nick, please let us know! Any kids or dogs in the home will need to come meet him. We can cat test if needed.

Story
Did you know Pierre originally came to us in 2022? He has been adopted and returned twice because of his energy level and his rowdy play style with other dogs, and we are beyond determined to find his perfect adopter.Pierre is loving and affectionate and wins over every person he meets. He loves butt scratches and belly rubs, and wants to be the center of attention. Pierre has a hyper play style and would do best with other playful dogs who want to wrestle.Pierre seems very tolerant of children and gets along well with them, but he might be too energetic for small kiddos. Pierre loves car rides. He walks pretty well on a leash and enjoys going on adventures. If you are looking for a new best friend who wants to live his life to the fullest, consider Pierre!More information? Call Marion Area Humane Society at 740-389-6548 or email at manager@mahspets.org
