Dogs for Adoption in Clinton County, OH: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Meet SNOWBALL, a fluffy little poodle mix boy looking for a home. He's an energetic young goofball. Snowball is 1 year old and we're told he was purchased as a Maltipoo. He's fully grown, currently 17 pounds but could stand to add a pound or two. He's energetic, playful and good natured. He needs a little work on his manners, nothing major, mostly he's just a little too enthusiastic. Snowball really needs the companionship of another playful dog. He's not ready for lapdog life, this boy wants to have FUN!! Snowball's scruffy coat will require regular grooming, his adopter should be prepared for that expense. His coat is really short right now, we aren't sure if he was shaved down before he was surrendered to a shelter. If you'd like to meet Snowball, please fill out a dog adoption application at
dreamhouserescue.org.
We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Snowball at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

MIMOSA is a lovely little beagle mix girl looking for a home. This stunning young dog is sister to Aspen and Cedar but looks less beagly than her siblings.

She loves toys and loves to run and play with her doggie friends. Mimosa needs a home where she'll have a friendly dog playmate. She is uninterested in cats. Mimosa has some scarring on her back from an old wound. Something happened to her as a young puppy (we have no clue what happened). It almost looks like a cowlick now. If you'd like to meet lovely Mimosa, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Mimosa at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

How cute is CEDAR? I mean seriously, how can you resist that sweet face? Beagle mix boy Cedar is 10-12 months old and fully grown at 19 pounds. If he looks a little familiar, he is Aspen's brother. Aspen has already found a home but her sister (Mimosa) and brother are now available! Cedar is a friendly, playful boy. He's a little timid in new situations and when meeting new people but warms up quickly to kindness. Cedar needs a home where he will have another friendly, playful dog. Cedar ignores kitties. If you'd like to meet Cedar, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter.

My perfect day includes a long fall hike, learning new fun tricks, and curling up for a relaxing nap with my people. I also don’t mind bath time bc to be honest I just love when my people are paying attention to me. I’m very tolerant of them doting on me and playing with me.

Meet Crumpet! She’s been guessed at 4 and at 8 and at 2 so we’re going with 4 since she acts like a puppy half the time and an old lady half the time. She’s a micro bully (bulldog) and she’ll provide you with all the little gremlin noises your heart desires. She’s good with dogs and cats and LOOOOVES basketballs (random, we know). She sits (hilarious) for treats. She takes treats gently, she’s good in the car, potty trained and not destructive (except those delicious basketballs….).

Hi! My name is Sausage Sam but my foster parents call me Sam or Moose (if you know, you know.) I am a 4 Month Old Male Husky Mix and I currently weigh 10 lbs!

Meet Brutus! ❤️ This sweet senior boxer mix still has plenty of love and life to share! He's dog, cat, and kid friendly, and his favorite game is a good round of fetch. Brutus does struggle with separation anxiety, so he'd love a home where someone understands his need for a little extra reassurance and companionship. He's a loyal, loving guy looking for a family to spend his golden years with. Could that be you?

DONUT is long and low and absolutely delicious! He appears to be a chiweenie (dachshund/chihuahua) type mixed breed boy, around 3 years old and fully grown at just 17 pounds. Donut is a little timid in new situations and when meeting new people but he warms up quickly to kindness. This little guy would thrive in a quiet home. If you'd like to meet little Donut, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter.

LICORICE is one tiny little cow! Actually he's a lively little mixed breed boy looking for a home. He's a terrier mix-type, about 1 year old and fully grown at 12 pounds. What breeds? Really it's anyone's guess -- could be part rat terrier? Jack Russell terrier? chihuahua? Whatever the mix, Licorice is fun, energetic, friendly, good with other dogs, but one thing he's not is a lap dog. Licorice likes to GO. He'll cuddle when playtime is over, but this little guy needs to run and play and burn up some energy. He's best suited to a home where he will have another doggie playmate. Licorice is housebroken and crate trained and fine with cats and other dogs. If you'd like to meet this adorable little spotty boy, please fill out a dog adoption application at
dreamhouserescue.org.

Adorable MALLOY is a lively little gentleman looking for a home. He's a sweet 17 pound chiweenie (dachshund/chihuahua)-type mixed breed boy who was estimated to be 9 years but you might be tempted to question that estimate if you see this guy chase toys. Malloy has a unique looking coat with a dapple/merle type pattern. That plus that blue eye makes us suspect there is some dapple/red merle dachshund in his family tree. Malloy is sweet and friendly, fine with other dogs and uninterested in cats. He's not ready to be considered an old man yet, he definitely acts like a middle-aged guy. In addition to standard vetting, Malloy just had a dental cleaning to make sure his oral health is A-OK. Malloy was found as a stray and was taken in by someone whose resident dogs were attacking him so he ended up on a chain outdoors, no life for a sweet little guy. Malloy's manners suggest he probably had a loving home at some point in his life. His coat was in rough shape thanks to fleas but that issue has been addressed and his hair is growing back nicely. Now all he needs is a place to call home. If you'd like to meet Malloy, please fill out a dog adoption application at
dreamhouserescue.org.
We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Malloy at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

Hi, I’m Pup Cup , AKA Puppiccino!

My name is Fenwick, and my favorite letter is F! I’m a friendly, fun-loving, 1-year-old Beagle mix with a fondness for meeting new people and making furry friends. I weigh in at 26 fine pounds, and I’m still filling out a little!

Unlike some of my fellow Beagles, I’ve decided that being quiet is better than barking fervently. I’m more of a tail-wagging, face-licking, friendship-making kind of fellow!

My name is Sexy Dexy but my foster mom just calls me Dexy. I am a 5 month old pitty mix and weigh in at 36lbs! I wake up every day with love and joy radiating from the tip of my nose to the nub of my tail. I sleep all night in my crate (9P to 7A) with no accidents or whining to go outside! I already know how to sit and am very quick to learn new things. I love walking on a leash with the kids that live with me (9 yrs and 4 yrs) and all the neighbor kids in the area. I just sit down and let them all give me pets and hugs. I get along with everyone and everything. Dogs, cats, kids, adults … I even lived with a Raccoon at my prior residence! I LOVE to snuggle and prefer to be right next to you or on your lap if there’s enough room.

Hi, I’m Pippi Longstocking, a 5-month-old little lady who is mostly Jack Russell Terrier weighing about 10 pounds. And while I may be small, I’ve got plenty of personality packed into this tiny body! ❤️
I’m a girl who likes to take things at my own pace. Like many small dogs, I believe in slow introductions when meeting new friends. Once I’m comfortable, I do well with other dogs and am perfectly happy giving them their space.

But my people? Oh, I LOVE my people. I’m happiest when I’m near my humans and getting all the love and attention I can soak up.

Patches would like you to patch his life back together with your love!

This sweet boy is a 2 Year old beagle Basset hound mix who came to us from a hoarding situation in St. Louis Missouri. He is good with other dogs and lived in a foster home in Missouri for a few weeks with cats so no issues there as well!

This sweet boy does not understand the term personal space! He wants to be in your lap and be loved! He is a little timid at first but warms up quickly! Another four-legged friend would help show him the ropes!
