Story
Sandy is a 1 year-old Plott Hound mix who weighs 45 lbs. She was transferred to CHA by our rescue partner Stop The Suffering. Sandy is super affectionate and loving. She is always rolling over on her back for belly rubs. Sandy is also very smart, and walks well on leash. She loves getting to sniff around and explore the world on her walks. Once she`s tired out, she`ll curl up on the couch with you for some snuggles. This adorable sweetheart is more than ready to find a home of her own!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Help us welcome Elton to the DASH Prison Training program. He is a young Plott Hound mix who has a beautiful brindle coat. He is housebroken and gets along well with other dogs and humans. However, he does not like to share his food or toys. He has not been tested with children or cats so a proper introduction is in order. He lives to play and has a lot of energy to burn. Elton is a social lad and does well in crowds. However, due to his hyperactivity and excitement, he does tend to jump on people. Of course the training program is working on this with Elton. He is a vocal dog. Elton is the most affectionate dog you will ever meet and is eagerly waiting for his forever home. He is a vocal dog so an apartment or condo would not be an ideal home for him. He also likes to bark at passing cars as if he wants to go for a ride. He will require a good, tall fence as he is a climber. Please don't let his outgoing personality keep you from making this guy your own. If you are a runner or need an active dog in your life, this is your boy! We know the perfect home awaits Elton. If you would like to meet or adopt this fella, please complete an application at: https://dashrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2025, 9:03 pm

Story
Woodrow is a 2-3 yr old Plott Hound. He is active, playful and seems to react just fine to other dogs. He keeps his kennel area clean for the most part....only having an accident, on occasion, when we are not here to let him out. He is just over 70 lbs. Prior to adoption he will be neutered, be vaccinated, heartworm tested and microchipped. He is social and welcomes attention from anyone that is welcome to give it to him. Please stop in during our regular hours if you would like to meet him. Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH. 419-946-1747March 4, 2025, 1:23 pm
