Story
These sweet boys Teddy (a 10 year old Yorkipoo) and Theo (a precious 11 year old toy poodle) are so sad. Their “mother” the only owner that they ever knew passed away and these boys were left desperately crying for her and waiting for her to come home to them. They are currently being fostered by a family member. They are such good boys. They are calm, like to sleep in their crate together, beg for treats, love everyone they meet. They both only weigh @6lbs and are potty trained and like to go outside but are happiest inside playing with toys and cuddling on the couch. And even though they are 10 and 11 they are healthy and have years of love to share with someone. They are both neutered and are up to date on their vaccinations. While they love everyone they meet, these boys want the love and stability that they deserve :   A family of their very own that will love them and give them kisses, carry them around, take them for walks with their little sweaters on, spend the days watching the snow fall outside and cuddling up near the fireplace together. Teddy and Theo have been together since Theo was a puppy and Teddy took care of him as his little brother., so they need to be adopted together. If you could give these sweet boys a loving home and be their family for the rest of their lives, please complete an online Adoption Application at http://petpromise.org/adopt

Story
Say hello to sweet Winter! Despite her chilling name, this girl has a warm, welcoming heart! This girl is full of life and is always looking to play. Making new friends is her specialty, and her joy and excitement is infectious. At 45 pounds, she's the perfect size for couch cuddles. Winter loves making doggy friends as well! She has lots of fun playing with her pals in our shelter playgroups, so she would be a great choice if you have a pup at home looking for company. Winter has spent some time in a foster home, where she has been a great house guest! She took a few days to settle in, and now she likes to spend her days chewing on toys, going for walks, playing with dog friends, and even got to visit a dog-friendly patio! She has been living with two cats and has done well, but it did take her a while to stop chasing them (playfully, of course). If you have cats at home, it is best if they are resilient or are used to an exuberant dog. Winter is sure to bring lots of joy into your life, so come meet this sweet girl today!Winter is currently living it up in her foster home! If you'd like to set up a time to meet her, please reach out to us at 614-777-7387.

Story
Meet Layla! This beautiful black and white pup's sleek looks are rivaled only by her brains. She's a quick study, and has been working hard in the shelter on various tricks and behaviors like sitting before coming out of her kennel and walking nicely on leash. She loves training, especially when the treats are extra good (little tip: soft jerky treats are her favorite). Once she gets to know you, Layla is as loyal as they come, obediently shadowing her human and supervising all their activities. In the shelter, Layla has shown that she's a little unsure around other dogs, so she would like any potential canine roommates to schedule a playdate beforehand to make sure they can respect her space. If you've been missing the comforting presence of a sweet, furry shadow following during your daily routine, Layla might be the girl for you!

Meet Baby Girl, a lively girl who's absolutely brimming with sweet, friendly energy.
