Imagine, being a baby, only 10 months old, all alone and left to fend for yourself, never knowing love, a gentle touch or how to be a dog. You can see it in his big brown, sad, soulful eyes, he’s just starving for love. Meet Clay. He wants nothing more than to be close to you, all the time, as close as he can possibly get. So much so it just breaks your heart to know how starved for love this baby is. Sweetheart Clay will need a patient, loving owner to help him become the best boy we know he can be. Since he’s never lived inside, he’s not housebroken yet, so he will need your help and guidance. It’s unknown how he is with cats and kids. We will update more info about Clay as we get to know him. Come fall in love with Clay at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on him. Please share Clay so he can find a furever, loving home of his own.

Rambunctious Rosie here!! I'm a year-old, 29lb bundle of energy, always ready to play and learn new things. I'm quite the smarty-pants, you know. I've mastered a few commands already! But don't worry, I know when to mellow out and enjoy a good cuddle. I'm energetic, brave and gentle, always by your side. I love making friends, especially with other dogs, but cats aren't really my thing, but that's okay because I have so much love to give to everyone else! I love to go for walks, runs and any activity that is as active as my energy level. I'm a loyal companion, I'll make you laugh with my funny antics and my sweet nature will melt your heart. Adopting me means gaining a forever friend, running partner, playing until your arm falls off friend, who will love you unconditionally and brighten your days with laughter and love. Come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on me. If I’m not the perfect match for you, please share me to help find my forever home!

My name is Lyla. I'm a 4-year-old, beautiful little (40lb) lady who's a bit confused & down lately, I don’t understand why my owners left me outside all alone, never to come back for me. But let me tell you, I'm ready for a new loving forever family! I've got a heart as sweet as honey with a love for people that's boundless. I love to cuddle up next to you, my loyalty unwavering, my intelligence will surprise you, and my playful antics will keep you smiling. But don't worry, I know when it's time to mellow out too. I'm a friend to dogs, cats, and kids alike. I’ll need to meet all my new housemates to make sure we all get along. I'm looking for a family who will appreciate my loving, friendly personality. Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with sweetness and unconditional, endless love. Come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on me. If I’m not a perfect match with your family, please share me so I can find my forever home. Lyla…She is sweet. She is kind. She is worthy.

Crystal and I (Sarina) went to the Park Ave. School last week and spent some time with the 1st graders (this is the 3rd or 4th year that we have done so at Christmas). After I talk for a few minutes, I generally then open it up to questions and here is one I got.

1st grader: What do you do when the dogs are sad?

Me:

And I ultimately replied that Crystal and I and all of our volunteers just try to give them the best that we can while they are with us. We snuggle them, play with them and give them love to try to keep them from being sad until they are adopted.

Thank you for the donations and getting to spend time with you!

Adopt me and I’ll brighten up your life…Hi! I'm Shimmer. I'm a super sweet, little 1 yr old, blue and brown eyed girl with 26lbs of love to give. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but give me some time and I promise to be your best friend. I love to play, cuddle, and I'm very gentle with everyone I meet. I'm still learning the ropes of housetraining, but I'm a quick learner. I get along well with other dogs and ok with the cats at the vet office. I’ll need to meet by housemates first, just to make sure we can be a happy family. I might need a little patience as I settle into my new home, but I promise, I'm worth it. We aren’t sure how I am with kids since I was a stray. I'm just a sweet, friendly dollbaby looking for a forever home. Will you give me a chance to shine in your life? Come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on me. If I’m not a perfect match with your family, please share me so I can find a home.

Hi there! I'm Waylon, a 7-month-old bundle of joy. My heart is as big as I'm going to be, which is quite big! I'm super sweet & loving and always up for a game of fetch. I'm smart too, quick to learn new tricks. I'm still learning about house breaking and manners, so I need a patient teacher, but I promise to be the best student. I get along great with other dogs too. I love cuddling and always happy. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share all my puppy love. Adopt me and you will have a best friend for life! I came in with Gia and Chip but we do not have to be adopted together, I just want a loving home. We aren’t sure how I am with cats. I’ve lived with kids and we had a good time. Please come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on me. Please share me if I’m not a perfect match for your family.

Howdy! I'm Chip, a young, super sweet soul with a playful spirit. I love to cuddle and show my affection. I'm gentle and loyal, always ready to cheer you up with a friendly nudge or a game of fetch.

Housebreaking is bit tricky for me, but with a little patience and lots of love, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. So, why should you adopt me? Because I promise to fill your life with laughter, loyalty, and lots of love. I'm ready to be your forever friend, are you ready to be mine? I. came in with Waylon and Gia. We don’t need to be adopted together; we each just want a home. We’re not sure how I am with cats. Come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.
