Story
Hi! I'm Murray! I'm a real cool guy and I bet we have lots in common. Do you like comedy? I'm a total comedian; you should hear my impressions -- I'm a real hoot! My other hobbies include chillin' with my besties (2 legs AND 4 legs!), visiting the local mud puddle, gardening, modeling, and . . . well, basically, being an all-around handsome fella'. At least, that's what everyone says. Oh, and I love working out with my trainer. I'm a basic obedience MASTER. I'm kind of a big deal around here, if you can't tell. If you like to enjoy life, maybe you would consider me as your side kick. Maybe even give me a sidekick nickname! Some I would consider are: "Myrtle," "Mr. Murray, Mud Master," "Furry Murray," or . . . I don't know, come visit me and let me know your ideas! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm. To schedule an appointment, you can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.

Story
Darrell may not be the most handsome dog around, but what he lacks in appearances, he more than makes up for with emotional intelligence. Darrell is one of the best cuddle buddies you could ever ask for, and is very in-sync with "his people". Because of his eagerness to please, he's easy to train and LOVES learning new tricks. Darrell has been working extra hard with our behavior team lately, and especially enjoys his fieldtrips to nearby parks where he can practice his basic obedience skills in public. Darrell has been with SICSA for over a year and has won the hearts of staff and volunteers, but we know it's about time for this boy to find a home of his own! SICSA will be with you every step of the way to support our goldfish-faced goober's adjustment to a new home -- all you have to do is reach out to learn more! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm. To schedule an appointment, you can reach us during our open hours at 937-294-6505.

Story
Picture this: You're sipping a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I'm savoring a Pup Cup. We're on our way to one of our favorite parks getting ready to step on ALL the crunchy leaves. (Okay, I might eat one or two. Don't judge me. Life is about enjoying the simple things.) If it was warmer, we'd be splashing in the creek, but it's Fall, so I'm rocking my favorite flannel and taking in all the autumn smells. Maybe it's just you and me, or maybe there's another canine friend joining us. Either way, life is good. Sound like an ideal day to you? If so, you might belong on #TeamTimber! Come meet me at SICSA - I'll be waiting! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm.

"Belly rubs, cuddles, and givin' out kisses, Going for walks, chasing squirrels and fishes, Chewing a toy while we're Netflix binging, These are a few of my favorite things!"

Penny prefers hanging out at home on the couch, but will join you for a walk if you get the urge -- bonus points if there's a creek to splash around in!

Story
Meet Dr. John, the self-proclaimed Next Big Thing, whose dreams soar higher than the Hollywood hills. This guy envisions himself as a movie star, or perhaps a superhero, basking in the limelight and using any chance he can get to show off his many talents. Dr. John is as smart as his name implies, and is looking for a role that can keep him engaged and challenge him. While he loves being the center of attention, Dr. John is happy to share the spotlight with his canine coworkers - as long as they can keep up with his charismatic energy! When he isn't working hard on his quest for fame, Dr. John enjoys going for walks, following every scent he can pick up on, and cuddling in the lap of his human friends. (Don't tell him he's not a lap dog - he's not buying it.). Dr. John is ready to steal the show and captivate the world with his pawsitively impressive charm. All he needs now is a home to help him get there - could it be with you? We are located at 8172 Washington Church Road, Washington Township, Ohio 45458 and are open Monday through Saturday from 12pm - 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm - 6pm.

Story
"If I lived with Ken, I would have a 6 pack just from busting a gut every time I looked at his face." "Oh, Ken...he is very cute, but in terms of brains.........well, he is VERY cute..." "Ken is literally just a cartoon character..." These are all actual quotes from staff about the one and only goofius maximus, Ken. To know Ken is to know true joy. Ken has ZERO clue what "be less" means. (To be fair, he doesn't have a clue about a lot of things, including his own size -- he's just a baby lap dog, if you ask him.) He believes everything should be done with no less than 200% effort, no exceptions. He loves making friends in playgroups with other dogs, and we think he'd do great in a home with another dog who also loves to party. Ken also likes going for walks in the park and laying like a frog on the cool concrete floor afterwords. He's a people pleaser who likes showing off all the commands he's learned in exchange for tasty treats. There isn't much Ken DOESN'T like, now that we think about it. Ken is serotonin, dopamine, enthusiasm, and PARTY TIME ALL THE TIME balled up into one dog. So, whether you're looking for a friend for your dog at home, or you're just looking for a dog to bring some infectious laughter into your life, Ken may be your perfect match. Only one way to find out -- come meet him and see for yourself! We are located at 8172 Washington Church Rd, Washington Township OH 45458 and are open Monday-Saturday, noon-7pm and Sunday, noon-6pm. We can be reached during our open hours at 937-294-6505.
