Story
Bo will need a home that is super patient and willing to give him time to decompress.  You will also have to come to the shelter more than once to visit with him. He is fine with our staff but takes time to warm up to ALL new people.  He reacts ok to some dogs but MUST meet and new housemates.  He was in a home prior to coming here, for a short time, and they said he would growl at their children from time to time (which is why they brought him to us).  So we suggest NO children.   Anyone interested in meeting him MUST come to the shelter and complete an application if you decide you would like to be considered.   ***better photos will be posted soon Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.

Story
Turtle is a sweet husky mix looking for a home that provides lots of cuddles. Turtle is roughly three years old, and was adopted after being found on the side of the road all by herself. She is house trained, leash trained, knows basic commands, and loves snuggles. Turtle's only obstacle is separation anxiety. With training and anti-anxiety medication, Turtle has made great strides. She needs a loving owner who has a lifestyle that is conducive to owning a pet with separation anxiety. That could mean someone who works from home or is retired, someone who is willing to hire a dog sitter or drop her off at daycare to limit her time alone, or someone who is active and takes her on runs. Turtle lives for her daily walks and belly rubs, and loves giving kisses. She is a gentle pup, but incredibly athletic when let off her leash at the park. With dedication, the right medication and patience, Turtle is an amazing pup.

Story
Korra is 7 years this May. I adopted her when she was 2 years. She is house trained and takes direction. Very quiet and relaxed. She will need two walks per day. I would say at least a quarter to a half mile each. She prefers to be outside than inside no matter the weather. She does well leashed outside. She doesn't prefer other dogs, but won't attack them. She can be skittish with loud sounds like a vacuum. She's great with kids. I have an 8th month old and I've never had to worry. She also does well with little kids. She is NOT current on any vaccines. I kept her up to date for 5 years. But she does not go to dog parks or kennels or groomers. So if you plan to take her to any of those then consult your vet. I will give you all the medical records I have. She had one major injury before I adopted her. It was to her back right leg. She can walk and canter just fine, but if she tries to sprint you will see her lift the leg. I have gotten the leg examined by a vet and there is no concern
