Hannah

Husky

Female, Adult

Canal Winchester, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Our dog's name is Hannah, we bought her at a pet store in 2018. Hannah was born in 2018, she is spayed and has all her vaccines up to date. She is very playful and energetic. The main reason why we are giving her up for adoption is because my husband works out of state and we have a 20-month-old child and as a mother who practically lives alone, it is very difficult for me to take care of my son and Hannah. As I have already written, she is a very energetic dog and she likes to be taken out for walks and to play constantly. I am currently looking for a job and I do not think it is fair that Hannah has to stay practically all day alone at home.

Principe

Coonhound (Unknown Type) Beagle

Male, Adult

Pickerington, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Principe is a spirited, playful Coonhound mix who joined the family after Rita, a cautious rescue cat, had already made the home her own. We hoped they would adjust to each other, but it’s clear they are not a good match. Principe’s instinct to chase Rita keeps her on edge, while Rita’s hissing and swiping leave Principe agitated and confused. The tension forced us to divide the house—a solution that seemed practical but has become a daily struggle. Doors must stay closed, and we constantly monitor to ensure neither crosses into the other’s space. This arrangement stresses both pets, limiting their freedom and leaving them isolated. For us, it means constant tension, double feeding stations, separate playtimes, and disrupted routines. While we love Principe deeply, we realize this isn’t fair to him or Rita. Rehoming Principe is a painful but necessary decision. We are seeking a loving home for him with no cats—a place where he can thrive.
