A great video of all the kids in class today, and an update that right after class Ms. Marla went to a foster home!!

Parcheesi, Osiris, and Minnie are all still available and looking for homes ❤️

Osiris was back in class today and ready to show off his skills!

While in class this beautiful boy worked on his sit, lay down, find me, leave it, spinning in each direction, and last but not least he practiced his "under arrest" pose. Osiris took a few much needed breaks for head scratches as this gentleman worked very hard today!

Some staff comments from his page at LC4:

Meet Osiris! He is a show stopper in his black and white tux. This smart man will do just about anything for a good treat. During training sessions with staff and volunteers he has responded very well to a clicker and is very treat motivated. He walks like a true gentlemen when he is on a harness. This man hasn't meet a toy he doesn't like. Osiris is a higher energy man and would need to meet any future human siblings.

Come meet this amazing man! His adoption fee is sponsored so for the price of $25 Lucas county dog license you can take this man home.

He has been at Lucas County since November 9, 2022

He comes with a training package at Canine Karma that includes the STAR class or 2 private lessons!!!

Would like to thank all staff and volunteers involved for making Rescue U possible ❤️

This handsome hunk Uno was also at class on Monday!

At an estimated 5 year old this beefcake is quite the entertainer! He will do ANYTHING for a snack and was voted best snorts!

During class he worked on his sit, learned lay down, rode a skateboard, and barreled through a little course! He took plenty of breaks for attention as we could not get enough of this sweet little ham 💜

There are currently no staff notes but he has been at LC4 since December 22, 2022!

This fabulous little lad Bertram enjoyed his night out of the shelter Monday!

Bertram is roughly a 2.5 year old happy mixed breed!

In class he worked on his sit, learned lay down, found the perfect toy, and sprinted his way through a small obstacle course!

While he did learn a lot his favorite part of class seemed to be the cheese and all the attention he got!

Some staff notes about this fella:

“On my bark, let’s go to the park!” Meet Bertram! This handsome boy is a 2 year old pit bull mix that has so much love to give. He adores everyone and is so excited to meet new people and often greets with a big hug. This sweet boy would be the perfect hiking buddy! He loves to go on long runs and walks. Bertram is very treat and toy motivated and is very excited to learn new tricks! He also loves to play with other dogs and wants to make sure that any fur babies in home have the same play style has him. So please be sure to stop by with your fur baby and meet this amazing dog today!

This happy boy has a free adoption plus his $25 license.

Frosty had a fun-filled day! First up was training at Canine Karma, and then it was off Maumee Bay Brewing Company for more fun at an adoption event! This 10 month old cutie pie loved every second! Read below to see what his friend, Doug, said about their day 🥰:

"Today was class #2 of Rescue University for Frosty at Canine Karma I am so proud of this pup.

Frosty has lots of energy. A shelter can be tough for a young dog with lots of energy.

With Frosty, it was evident that it had been two weeks between classes. It took us time getting back to our prior progress. We worked on loose leash, sit, sit on a stand, sit in a box, and low hurdles. Mostly we worked on focusing his energy in a positive manner. By the end of the session, he was back.

After class, we did a mini DOTT by visiting MBBC Marketplace, where Lucas County Canine Care & Control had dogs for adoption. Frosty interacted very well with lots of people, kids, and other dogs. He had a blast. We then went for an hour walk along the river. He was near perfect with loose leash walking. We stopped at a couple benches, he cuddled for butt rubs and was so appreciative of the day.

This puppy has lots of energy. He would quickly become a BFF in an active family that likes to play fetch, go for long walks or runs, and help him use his puppy energy in a positive manner. I see so much potential and am so proud of Frosty. We had a great day!

Lastly, Rescue University through Canine Karma and Friends of Lucas County Dogs is a wonderful program and perfect for dogs like Frosty. I highly encourage other volunteers to give it a try."

Visit LC4 to meet Frosty! He’s available for foster, adoption, or foster-to-adopt ❤️

Thank you so much to Canine Karma, Friends of Lucas County Dogs, and all the staff and volunteers that make Rescue University possible!

The show stealing Osiris was a very affectionate participant in class today!

During class he worked on his sit, lay down, "find me", and jumping over a pole! After reviewing his footage, I noticed he spent most of his time attempting to avoid class work by sucking up to the camera for affection. 🥰

Some staff comments from his page at LC4:

The wiggliest young man Frosty made his Rescue U debut in class today!

Full of puppy energy and now hotdogs after a successful class this boy really put his nose into the books! He learned sit, paws up, get on, worked on getting into a chewy box, and jumping over a pole!

Some staff comments from his page at LC4:

“No selfie is complete without my puppy-dog eyes.” Meet Frosty! Frosty is a 9 month old tan and white pit bull mix and ready to be the perfect addition to any home! This amazing pup is just like frosty the snowman. He loves to play and have fun. He loves to sing and dance and is very helpful in filling your heart with joy and excitement. He will always be there when you need some snuggles. You deserve nothing but the best and that is exactly what this loving pup is willing to give you.

This bundle of joy has a reduced adoption fee of $25 plus his $25 license, and he is so excited to meet you!

Rambo, a very handsome 5 year old man reached for the stars today!

While in class he worked on his sit, lay down, "leave it", and high 5! He was the perfect gentleman in class and loved showing off what he knew.

Toward the end of every class each dogs gets their own "taco" either filled with cheese or today peanut butter! Rambo gave it a few taste tests and decided his time was better spent getting some good head scratches in.

He has been at Lucas County since November 01, 2022

Mr. Z practicing his tricks in class today at Canine Karma! He is a very fast paced young man requiring frequent snuggle breaks from learning!

Today he worked on his sit, relaxing, getting into the Chewy box, and jumping on and off the platform! Per his handler he does struggle with some car anxiety which was also worked on outside of the facility!

Some staff comments from his page at LC4:

“Don’t forget to be a good boy today.” Meet Mr. Z! Mr. Z is a very good looking 2 year old gray pit bull! He is full of love and cuddles, he loves other dogs and can’t wait to get all the love that he can from his future forever person. You truly haven’t lived if you have not had Mr. Z nose in your lap. He is such a goofy bundle of energy that he would be too much for cats and small children, but he is an amazing listener and a champion snuggler. Mr. Z is so excited to hear from you and hopefully fin his forever home!

Mr. Z has a free adoption plus his $25 license!

He has been at Lucas County since September 16, 2022
