Dogs & Cats Available For Adoption Updated Dec 3, 2019
Germshorthair Pointer, Zelda
video, video, female, 70 lbs, 6-7 yrs, found as a stray and then spent one week short of a year in the shelter, she attaches to her human as evident with her love of Tiffany from Van Wert County Dog Pound, she is shy but you can see the spark in her eye that she is curious and loving 
LOVES KIDS ! Loves Dogs !
Winter was dumped at an apartment complex. She lived outside and brought to our office. She is a very sweet girl although she prefers to be an only pet. She is about 3-4 yrs and lanky. She will make a great companion for some lucky family 
Romeo
male, 1yr,, found as a stray, so sweet and friendly, Romeo loves to snuggle and cuddle and sleep on a shoulder, a frisky kitty, will do best in a no kitty or one kitty home 
Jack Russell, Jasmine
5 yrs, 14lbs, video A little Jack mix who has a definite alpha personality. She is looking for a home that can provide loads of affection along with consistent pack leadership. Jasmine rumbles when getting petted in just the right spot so we are discouraging her adoption to a home w/young kids. She attends doggie daycare and socializes in packs, but her “top dog” attitude makes it important she be the only dog in the home. Jasmine is housebroken, and she knows “sit” and “down”. She is still working on her leash training because she likes to “speed walk.” Jasmine is not the typical hyperactive Jack Russell that comes to mind when you think of her breed. When not exploring her back yard, she is content to rest beside her person on the sofa. Reasons to adopt Jasmine: (1) You don’t feel guilty about staying home from the doggie park!(2) You don’t have to go outside to walk her in cold/bad weather if you have a fenced in yard! (3) Right beside you is her happy place! (4) BEST REASON: You know you gave a forever home to a sweet but hard-to-place little girl who is patiently awaiting the person she deserves, who totally gets her Jack Russell attitude and will love her unconditionally! 
Manson
male, 3-4yrs, this guy has a story, he was hanging around our office and we fed him for months, we were never able to trap him and finally resorted to a drop trap, the grainy picture you see above is from our security camera late at night, he broke our hearts on this cold night when we could see him peeking in our office window, once we trapped him, we decided to give him a chance to get use to living inside with us, it has taken some time, but now we can hold him and pet him....on his terms, but he continues to improve, he does great w/ cats and is fine with dogs |
Mix, Bentley
3yrs, 12 lbs, likes walks, very sweet little boy, playful, loves his toys, loves other dogs, loves to sleep with them and be near them, needs home with another dog as he finds comfort in companionship 
Mix, Loki
30lbs, male, 1-2 yrs, Loki is a sweet little dog, but at this point, he is very afraid of everything. He would do best in a quiet home with another quiet dog and a fenced yard. A home without young children would be best as he finds loud noises and quick movements terrifying. He can deal with young children visiting, but the day in, day out living with them would be too stressful. He walks very well on a leash, but refuses to pee while on a leash, so he needs a fenced yard. He loves attention on his terms. If you sit, he will come up for petting, but runs away when approached. He is currently living with another dog and finds comfort in his quiet presence, but when the other dog barks, he hides. He has made a lot of progress since being pulled from the shelter, but he still has a long way to go. He would do best with someone who is willing to work with him to overcome his fears and live his life to the fullest. 
These sweet siblings have been living outside and are shy at first but once you show them live they are so sweet and affectionate. Blaize is the torti girl and Xavier the tabby boy. They are about 4-5 months old and looking for a family to call their own.

Julia, 1yr, video
this little girl can rumble with the big cats, she loves to wrestle with fellow homeless cat named Fencie, she's independent and curious, Julia would do best in a home with a playful cat and no young children. She finds comfort with the company of another cat to snuggle and play with, long hair |
Papillion Mix, Cinder
such a princess, 5 yrs, loves to cuddle, great personality and love to play with toys but can also be quite content just being next to you on the couch, gets very excited to get outside for my daily walks and will do anything to be the center of your attention, knows simple commands, sit, potty, good w/ kids, cats, dogs

Benny, video, video 2
1yr, male, most affectionate cat, short hair, loves to be picked up, cuddles with you, ignores dogs, selective about cats, 
Pit Mix, Moon
male, 1 yr, 55 lbs, Moon is a silly, fun loving dog who enjoys giving/receiving attention, young, active, big dog with a heart of gold, Moon really enjoys his walks/jogging with his foster family, gets along fine with dogs but not good w/ cats, fenced yard best as he is high energy, an active family w/ kids 10/older is going to be best, Moon is the happiest pup around, has a lust for life that would make anyone smile, Moon spent nearly his whole 1st year of life in a kennel, but his lack of socialization doesn't stop him from having the time of his life at Top Dog Daycare. From day one, Moon wanted to go-go-go. he will play with any dog that's willing to play with him, although he plays best w/ dogs around his size and similar temperament, has a lot of enthusiasm, so the more energetic and wild he can socialize, the more he loves it! Moon would thrive in a home that has the time and patience to spend his energy, whether this be taking him to daycare, dog parks, jogging, or letting him play with a buddy. w/ love, trust, and ample playtime, Moon will absolutely make a lucky, family proud and whole!

female, the sweetest cat, she didn't move much for the first week she was with us, slowly, she gained strength and has also blossomed with her personality, great with everyone, is a bit of a character that will make you laugh, she drags things around our office, she taps on your shoe for attention, someone will win the kitty lottery with this charismatic feline, short haired girl, Nettie can see but has limited vision 
Katherine, Special Needs Girl
Video, you have to watch this ! Video 2, the most gentle, quiet, affectionate kitty suffers from cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder. Cystitis causes the cat to strain while trying to urinate and is very painful (similar to humans having urinary tract infection). In cats this is caused by stress. Katherine is extremely stressed living with so many cats. While she has roam of the office, her gentle soul can sometimes be bullied by some of the more confident cats. Cystitis is treated with very strong medications and trying to medicate a cat with cystitis can cause even more stress, not to mention the toll it can take on their body. Our vets truly believe that when Katherine settles in a quiet home where she does not feel intimidated, her cystitis will go away. We noticed this to be true after we placed several cats a few months ago, there were less cats in the office and Katherine did not had a flare up until in the last two months when multiple cats were dumped at our office. Katherine has excellent litter box habits. She is about 7 years old and would do better in a home with very few pets. She is gentle and non-confrontational. Loves to be near her human. 
Chrissy-Poo. video
male, 5yrs, THE most gentle, kind, sweet cat ever, FIV +, this big guy is so happy to have a gentle rub on the chin or belly, low key, very friendly toward cats, good with dogs, Chrissy Poo was a stray at our office that we couldn't touch, he has come so far is loves being a cat that has a home and people who adore him |
