Hi, my name is Electro (Buckeye) and I am still trying to find a special family. I am doing great since my Heart Worm treatment, and I expect to fully recover. I will be retested in a couple of months. In the meantime, I love going on walks, car rides and just chilling out in my kennel. I love to be around people, other dogs, toys and just be petted. I am a big boy around 3 years old and weighs 70 pounds. I can be a smart, loyal, loving companion. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please call the shelter so we may set up a meet and greet. 740-432-2219

MILES
Beagle mix
Male (neutered)
1 year old and 42 pounds
Miles, a charming one-year-old boy who weighs 42 pounds and has a heart of gold. Miles is a friendly and gentle pup who loves going with the flow. He was a stray, so his history is a bit of a mystery, but we do know that he's up to date on his vaccines and has tested negative for heartworm. Currently, he's undergoing treatment for Lyme disease, but that doesn't dampen his spirits one bit. Miles is a pro at walking on a leash and keeps his kennel s***k and span. He's always ready to greet new people with a wagging tail and a happy, carefree attitude. While he hasn't had the chance to socialize with other dogs here, we believe he'll do just fine with a little introduction. Miles is an intelligent boy who knows a few commands and is eager to learn more. If you're looking for a loving and easygoing companion, Miles might be the perfect match for you.
