Pit Mix,  Sept 1, 2020
Mama, female
6yrs, 35lbs, rescued from a puppy mill, was emaciated, likes her dry kibble to be moistened with water, she is a very laid back and perfectly content with just being held and cuddled with all day, loves tennis balls,  still plays fetch very happily,  loves hiking and long walks but her max before becoming fatigued in her leg is about 3 miles. She’s good with dogs/cats, good with kids,  can get a little nervous upon meeting new people but warms up very quickly. 
She is also on Fluoxetine 20 mg SID utilized to aide in behavioral urinations. She also get Trazadone 100-150 mg SID when I  will be gone for an extended period of time, does well on the medications and does not urinate in the house but does have to be crated when you're not home. She is used to being crated for 12-14 hours at a time with no accidents since I work long shifts at work. 
She has also had episodes since she was about 3 years old of urinating in her sleep. The occurrences are few and far between so currently she is not being treated but as she gets older she may need medications for incontinence. She has a history of a L cruciate year. I had it repaired with a lateral suture in 2018 The lateral suture is still intact and she is not painful on her leg but does limp and/or hop on 3 legs after being inactive or in her crate for extended periods of time, she does have mild allergies and get Benadryl twice a day and seems to do fine with that

Mr. Nuts,         January 15, 2021
shorthaired, Male, 4-5 yrs, Mr Nuts is a very sweet fellow that showed up at our home several months ago,  was scared at first, but he has turned out to be a super nice guy! Mr. Nuts is currently staying in our garage/yard with supervised trips in the house, 
LOVES attention and pets, he likes to play, he will get in your lap and he will let you pick him up, does get a little over-stimulated at times and will sometimes nip, so probably be best in adult home,  He DOES NOT like dogs,  he will chase away any other cat that he sees in our yard and doesn't get along well with our 3 indoor cats.  (that's the only reason we aren't bringing him in permanently!)
but may be ok with another friendly cat with proper introduction and plenty of space, he is litter trained, 
he  is FIV positive and will need regular vet care to lead a healthy, long life, to help keep him healthy- he should be kept indoors, does well in a carrier and has been a complete gentleman at the vet,  if you're looking for a friendly, playful kitty that LOVES attention- Mr. Nuts may the cat for you!  Application, home visit, vet information and rehoming fee will be required to ensure that he is going to a great home! (fee will be donated to Columbus Dog Connection)  If there are any issues, adopter must commit to returning Mr. Nuts to us.

Coonhound,  Nov 12
Buddy, 9 yrs, 70lbs, very sweet and loving,  gentle  a great cuddler/snuggler,  likes rubs and scratches on the head, neck, and back, is vocal (loud baying) when he wants something or is anxious/excited (when owners leave and return home, when hungry). He is NOT trained off-leash, must be on a leash when walking or running, does not get along with dogs, cats, and probably other animals, so he'll prefer to be the only pet in the house. Unknown reaction to small children, but probably best if he is in a home with normal-sized humans. He has been territorial with food around other dogs but does NOT have an issue with humans near his food or other high-value items.
he is a healthy weight and a decent runner/jogger. He has minor gum issues and infrequent bleeding, but nothing that impairs/hinders him
