Penny came to us from Franklin County rescue at 3 years of age. She’s an energetic and happy but also loves to relax when she’s at home and comfortable. She absolutely loves being outside and taking road trips. She does get agitated when meeting new dogs, especially those that are reactive but warms up relatively quickly. She lived with another dog for a year and they got along great. That said I would not recommend her for homes with cats or other small critters.

6yo, 40lb Hobbs is a sweet little guy. He was a rescue that has done well in our household for years until the recent arrival of our baby. The transition has not gone well and he deserves to have a home where he can receive the love and attention he needs. He does well with routine and a job to do, fetch is his favorite, has no prey drive, crated at night but will sleep whether door is open or closed, walks well on a leash, indifferent to other dogs in passing, house trained but needs structure. Very smart, very trainable. Would not do well in a home with babies/toddlers Important - Experience with working dogs will serve you well - the maintenance of these types of breeds is unlike most others and it is important that negative reinforcement to control behavior is not used.

Meet Gamera! She was found as a stray...Or really, she found us! Gamera was running loose around CHA and she walked right through the front door. She is a 1 year-old mixed breed dog who weighs 43 lbs. We`re so glad Gamera found her way to us, because she is the sweetest girl. Gamera is very affectionate, and enjoys spending as much time with her people as possible. She is equally happy to curl up on a cozy blanket for some cuddles as she is to go for a long walk. While Gamera is super sociable with people, she does not love interacting with other dogs or cats. Due to this, she would do best in a home where she is the only pet. Gamera has plenty of love to give though, and will make a wonderful companion!

Beckham is an 11 month-old mixed breed who weighs 40 lbs. This rambunctious, affectionate girl came to CHA through our partnership with the ASPCA. She was originally transferred from a shelter in West Virginia that was affected by a natural disaster. Beckham is a sweet, wiggly pup who loves attention and can be a bit dramatic (in the most endearing way) when she feels she is being deprived of it. She also loves other dogs, and enjoys wrestling and running around the yard with her doggie playmates. Beckham still has lots of puppy energy, and can be a little mouthy when she gets excited. Because of this, we are recommending she goes to a home with more mature children who are old enough to participate in her training. As with any puppy, Beckham will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training as she learns her manners. If you`re looking for a goofy, affectionate dog to keep you company on your adventures, Beckham could be the girl for you!
