1. Charlie's Angels
Puppy (3 months 27 days) · Female · Beagle / Mixed · 36 mi from Newark



Introducing Charle's Angel's Cameron! Cameron came to DASH with her 2 sisters Lucy and Drew when their owner needed to surrender an unexpected litter. Cameron is a beautiful girl, and those eyes! She is a typical puppy, exploring and learning the world right now. She is a little shy, but warms up pretty quickly once she meets you. She loves playing with her sisters and other dogs in her current foster home. Since she is still very much a puppy, she is still working on her crate training, potty training and walking on a leash. Her new family will need to continue to work with her on those things so she can grow up to be the best family member she can be! She has not been kid or cat tested, but feel she would be fine with proper introductions. This girl is fun loving and ready to bounce her way into her new family's hearts and home!

2. Benny
Puppy (3 months 1 day) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Hound · 36 mi from Newark







Introducing Benny! Benny came to DASH when his owner basically dumped him at the rescue. He is a very sweet, smart, loving young pup, who loves everyone he meets. He is great with the other dogs in his foster home. He is working on crate training and potty training and is doing really well in a very short time. His new family will need to continue to work with him on these things so he can grow up to be the best pup he can be. He does walk well on a leash already! This guy has not been around kids or cats, but feel due to his age, he would be ok with both with proper introductions. He would make a family a great companion!

3. Hannah
Puppy · Female · Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 38 mi from Newark



Hannah is 6 mths old
Gorgeous Hannah has the personality to match her looks! This playful girl can amuse herself with her toys for hours and also loves spending time outdoors. But when you settle in on the couch, she gladly settles down with you. She can be goofy and silly one minute, but Hannah can also be relaxed.
Hannah does enjoy her food and treats. However, if it’s something she values highly, she will resource guard. She doesn’t like pushy dogs and will let them know when they’re crossing the line with her. Hannah couldn’t care less about cats — she has no interest at all.

She came to her foster not knowing any commands, so she’s in the process of learning. After all, she is still a puppy and that’s what they do! When Hannah sees someone new, she just has to say “hi.” She’s happy to socialize with dogs, as long as they respect her boundaries.
Happy Hannah is waiting for her person to come say “hi” and hang out with her. Might that be you?

4. Lambchop Tuscarawas
Puppy (5 months 24 days) · Male · Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 15 mi from Newark








Meet Lambchop! This adorable pup has a big personality and a wonderful mix of playful energy and lap-loving sweetness. Lambchop’s favorite things include squeaky toys, crinkle toys, fetch, tug-of-war, and zoomies around the backyard. Once he’s worn himself out, he’s happy to curl up on your lap for cuddles. Friendly and outgoing, Lambchop enjoys being around people and does well with other dogs, cats, and children over 8. A companion dog isn’t required, provided he has people who have plenty of time for play, attention, and puppy adventures. Lambchop is making great progress with housetraining and signals when he needs to go outside.

His new family should continue a consistent potty routine and expect occasional accidents as he learns. He currently eats three meals a day and is always enthusiastic about treats! Leash walking is still a work in progress. Some days he’s eager to try, while other days he prefers backyard fetch. A securely fenced physical yard is required so he has a safe place to run and play while he builds confidence on walks. Loud noises can make him unsure, so his new family should focus on this area with patience and understanding. A calm, supportive home that can gently help him build confidence and feel secure will be the best fit for Lambchop. Lambchop has no known medical issues. His ideal family will embrace his puppy energy and provide daily exercise, positive-reinforcement training, and plenty of love as he grows. If your idea of a great day includes backyard games, puppy antics, and a tired little dog curled up in your lap, Lambchop might be your perfect match! Lamb chops adoption fee is $750, and he is being fostered in central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines, and started on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.

5. Pip
Puppy (8 months) · Male · Chihuahua · 36 mi from Newark






Welcome Pip to DASH! Pip came to DASH with his brother, Squeak from a rural shelter in Kentucky. This little guy is super sweet and loves all of the dogs in his current foster home. He is a little shy when he meets new people, but warms up very quickly. He is working on his crate training, walking on a leash and potty training, which he is doing really well with. He can be a little bit of a barker (typical chihuahua guard dog! ) so apartment living may not be the best fit for him. He is also small and will not get much bigger, so small kids under 8 would also not be the best for him. Older kids would be ok with proper introductions. He has been around cats, and doesn't seem to like them much. This little guy is ready to start his forever chapter with his new person or family.

He is good with other dogs and all people so far. He has not been cat or kid tested, so proper introductions to both would be recommended. This guy is ready to find his forever home where he can grow up and be the best boy he can be!

8. Penelope
Puppy (10 months) · Female · Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat) · 15 mi from Newark









Meet Penelope, a happy, energetic young girl who will celebrate her first birthday on October 10th! Penelope loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a joyful, enthusiastic personality and approaches life with all the excitement and curiosity you would expect from a puppy. She loves Nylabones and other durable chew toys and is always ready to play. Because of Penelope’s energy and exuberant play style, she is best suited to a home without young children. She is still learning appropriate puppy manners, including how to trade an item she has for something of higher value. She can occasionally be possessive of food or special chews around other dogs, so these items should be carefully managed while her training continues.
Read more about Penelope
A young, energetic companion dog is recommended, provided the dogs meet beforehand and are a good match. Penelope’s enthusiasm may be overwhelming for an older or more laid-back dog. She has been around a dog friendly cat and does well with him. Penelope requires a securely fenced yard where she can safely run, play, and burn off her puppy energy. She is comfortable sleeping in her crate at night and resting there when her foster family is away. She also does well for the groomer and has no known medical concerns. Penelope is looking for an active, patient family that will continue helping her develop good manners while embracing her wonderfully happy puppy personality. With positive guidance, plenty of activity, and lots of love, this cheerful girl will bring fun and affection to her forever home! Penelope’s adoption donation is $750, and she is currently being fostered in the Central Ohio area. She has been spayed and microchipped and is current on her rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and bivalent canine influenza vaccines. She has tested negative for heartworms and is on monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention.
9. Peanut
Puppy (8 months) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 38 mi from Newark





DOB: 1/18/2026
Hi there, I’m Peanut!
I’m a Chihuahua mix puppy and pretty much everything in the world is brand new and exciting to me. I’ve got a whole lot of energy packed into my little body and I love to run and play and explore. But here’s my secret. When the playing is done, all I really want to do is climb into your lap and snuggle up close. I’m a serious cuddle bug.
I follow my foster mom everywhere she goes. Kitchen, couch, you name it, I’m right behind her like a tiny shadow. And when it’s mealtime I sit and wait so patiently because I already know good things come to puppies who are sweet.
Read more about Peanut
I get along with just about everybody. The kittens, the older cats, the big dogs, I love them all and I just want to be friends. I think the world is a wonderful place full of people and animals to love. I also love going to new places and seeing new things. Adventure is my middle name.
I’m doing really well with my crate training and my potty training too. I’m even learning to ring a little bell when I need to go outside, and I’d love a person who keeps helping me get really good at it.
At the end of the day I curl up with my foster family and my foster sibling and I feel so safe and happy. That’s all I want for the rest of my life. Someone to love, a warm spot to snuggle into, and a few new adventures along the way.
Could that someone be you?
I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.

Adopting a puppy in Newark
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
