Story
We would like to introduce you to LUKA. He is a 2 year old Bully who was surrendered to our pound when his family could no longer care for him. LUKA is an amazing boy. He loves everyone he meets and greets them as if he's known them forever. LUKA is loving and affectionate and would rather be with you than be anywhere else. He will sit by your side and wait for you to pay attention to him. He loves soft beds and blankets and will lay his head in your lap, fall asleep and then snore. He loves other dogs and has never met a cat. He is good with kids too. He keeps his kennel clean and uses his doggy door, but he doesn't know how to ask to go out so he will need some housebreaking lessons. LUKA will worship you and be the bestest friend you will ever have. Harrison County Dog Pound, 82900 Toot Rd. Cadiz, OH 43907 Open: Monday-Friday 10am-4pm; Saturday 9am-2pm; Closed Sundays and holidays. Out of state adoptions welcomed. Applications are available at the pound and online at harrisoncountydogpoundvolunteers,org.

May has come back to Pet Search because her owner passed away. Two years ago, May was an owner surrender to Pet Search through our volunteer Humane Police Officer. May was living in deplorable outside conditions. This sweet, energetic girl is a 4 year Anerican Bulldog who has puppy energy and great kisses. She is housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands. May is spayed, fully vaccinated and 4 DX tested. She can be dog reactive, so a meet and greet with other dogs is necessary. She is non reactive to cats. Applications are available at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAPS/Dog or petsearchpa.org. KL#03301 Washington PA 15301

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Brief description: Elliot is a sweet little low-rider fellow who wants to be by your side at all times. Weighing in at about 35 lbs, he is a perfect lap dog. He’s your ride or die, always willing to do whatever you’re in the mood for, whether its having a lazy on the couch or taking a hike in the woods. He enjoys being around people and just wants to be the center of attention. He’s house and crate trained and responds well to commands. He is quite the quirky character and will make you laugh with the way he hops around when he’s happy or lays with his legs straight up in the air when he’s sleeping. Likes: Loves attention from his humans. He likes to sit by your feet all day, whether you’re working at your desk or watching TV, he’ll be right there with you. Did you say ‘get the ball?’ Elliot’s favorite game is playing fetch. This makes him very happy, and you can tell because he starts hopping like a bunny when he’s playing fetch to show his enthusiasm. He’s very food motivated and will do anything you ask him when a treat is involved. Dislikes: The only thing that seems to annoy him is when his foster brother tries to hump him, but to be expected, lol! Personality: Elliot is very cuddly and touchy and wants to be involved in everything you do. He doesn’t know the concept of personal space. He listens well and is down for anything; he can be spunky or chill and will adapt to your mood. He has a very happy-go-lucky attitude and just wants to please you. If you’re looking for a snuggle companion, he’s your guy. Temperament: Very friendly to everyone he meets and can be quite the little ham. When he wants attention, he’ll jump right into your lap and stare up at you until you pet his head. He is always good for a laugh with his quirky little ways. If traveling is your thing, he’s good in the car, enjoys taking walks, and adapts well to new environments. But what he enjoys most is being a lap dog. Energy level: Spurts of energy when he wants you to play, then other times he is very chill and lazy. Favorite activities: Playing fetch with the ball, walks, car rides, playing with toys, and chilling on the sofa. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: Elliot is good with other dogs; he just needs a slow introduction so he can be sure the the other dog is a really his friend. Once he realizes the other dog is going to be cool with him, he’s good to go and wants nothing more than to play and have fun. He has a few scars around his face, so he may have been attacked by other dogs who weren’t so nice to him in his past life. He seems to get along better with calmer dogs who aren’t intrusive of his personal space. He’s good with people in general; men, women, & children. Kids under 10 are probably not good idea only because he can get wound up and hyper-focused on his toys, especially when playing fetch. Not good with: He’s never been around cats so not sure. Housetrained: YES, Elliot is fully house trained. As soon as you let him outside, he’ll pee and poop right away, he doesn’t waste any time doing his business so he can get right back to you. Crate trained: Yes. If you say “crate” he’ll walk right in and waits for his treats. Other times, he goes in by himself just to chill. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?: Elliot would do fine either with or without a fenced yard. He has a good recall, but still needs to be leashed for safety. Walks well on a leash?: Does well on a leash and enjoys taking walks. Doesn’t pull and listens well. Challenges: Not many! He’s very easy going and adapts quickly to his environment. However, he has a tendency to be very invasive of your space and will try to get in your lap at all costs, whether it means stepping on your laptop or knocking your drink out of your hand. But that’s being pretty nit picky, as he’s a pretty darn near perfect. Any Medical issues?: No What would be the best kind of home?: Elliot would do well in a home that gives him plenty of lap-time, snuggles, and attention. He would do well as an only dog or in a home that has a calmer, more chill dog. If you work outside of the home, that’s no problem. He’s house-trained and well-behaved; he doesn’t chew or get into things he not supposed to. He’d probably do best with kids over 10 only because he can be intense when he plays and gets hyper-focused on his toys.

These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed.

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
