Dogs for Adoption in Pataskala, OH: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

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.

Smart and eager to please, Phoebe is motivated by both treats and affection. She already understands “kennel,” comes when her name is called and is learning “sit”—provided an appropriately comfortable sitting surface can be found! Phoebe would thrive with a playful, similarly sized canine companion or with someone who spends plenty of time at home. She enjoys children, but because of her small size and enthusiastic personality, children over age eight would be the best fit. Large dogs may be overwhelming for her, and she is still trying to figure out exactly what cats are all about. A fenced yard would be wonderful but is not required. Phoebe uses pee pads and is continuing to work on her housetraining. She will do best with a consistent routine, a designated potty area and a family committed to helping her continue making progress. Her new family should also be prepared to maintain her regular bathing and skincare routine, as she can develop the mild acne commonly seen in young Chinese Cresteds. Fortunately, she is a cooperative little bathing beauty—especially when her favorite human joins her in the shower! With plenty of toys, cozy places to sit, cute clothes for chilly weather and people who will adore her, Phoebe is ready to bring nonstop smiles and affection to one very lucky family. If you’re looking for a playful, loving and wonderfully entertaining companion, Phoebe may be your perfect match! Phoebe’s adoption donation is $750, and she is currently being fostered in the Cleveland, Ohio area. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, started on heartworm prevention, tested negative for heartworms, and is on flea and tick prevention.

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.

Callie can be a little reserved when meeting someone new, but give her some time and patience and you’ll get to see what a loving, devoted girl she really is. Once she decides you’re her person, she takes that job very seriously. She does well with other dogs, cats, and children over eight, although she doesn’t need another dog in her new home to be happy. Her favorite companion is definitely her human.

Callie has a nice medium-to-low energy level and is perfectly content with a quieter lifestyle. She is pee-pad trained and does not require a fenced yard. She would especially enjoy a home where her person is around much of the time, although she does fine when left alone. More than anything, she’s looking for someone who will appreciate having a loving little sidekick who wants to be part of their day.

Callie does have a heart condition that will require lifelong care, but we’ve worked hard to get her set up for success. She has been evaluated by a cardiologist, her treatment plan is in place, and she takes her medications like a champ. She will need to remain on her prescribed medications and supplements and have regular echocardiograms so her heart can be monitored. For the right adopter, it simply becomes part of the routine of loving and caring for this very special girl.

We would love to find Callie an experienced dog owner, ideally someone familiar with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and their needs, with a strong history of providing consistent veterinary care. In return, Callie has an enormous amount of love and companionship to give. She isn’t asking for much: a comfortable home, good care, patience when she first meets you, and most importantly, a person she can call her own.

Callie’s adoption donation is $675 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, is current on her vaccinations, has been tested for heartworms and is on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. Callie has also had a dental cleaning and complete bloodwork.

Patrick is a handsome 3-year-old Poodle with a gentle heart and a quiet spirit. He absolutely loves other dogs and lights up when he has a canine friend to play with or nap beside. Whether he's exploring the yard, enjoying the fresh air, or relaxing after a fun play session, Patrick finds joy in the simple things. Like many puppy mill survivors, Patrick is still learning that people can be trusted. While he may be shy at first, beneath that timid exterior is a sweet boy just waiting for someone to show him that the world can be a safe and loving place. With patience, kindness, and a little time, Patrick's personality continues to shine a little brighter every day. His front leg has never caused him pain, and while he occasionally uses it for balance when standing, he has adapted beautifully.

Patrick doesn't see himself as different—and neither should you. His disability has never kept him from enjoying life, playing with his dog friends, or doing all the things dogs love to do. Patrick approaches house training the same way he approaches everything else—with determination. He continues to make great progress when kept on a consistent schedule and will thrive with a patient, understanding family committed to helping him continue his journey. Patrick's ideal home will have a securely fenced yard, another friendly dog (that loves to play) to help build his confidence, and a family that understands that trust is earned, not rushed. In return, you'll gain an incredibly resilient companion who reminds you every day that life's challenges don't define who we are.

Patrick's adoption donation is $625. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on monthly heartworm prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning. If you're looking for a dog who embodies resilience, quiet courage, and unconditional love, Patrick is ready to show you that sometimes the strongest hearts come in the smallest packages. ❤️

Pippa does well with her housetraining when kept on a consistent potty schedule, but a patient and understanding home will go a long way toward helping her acclimate. Because she is still learning her leash skills, a secure, physically fenced yard is required for her adoption. This quiet girl is occasionally playful with other dogs and will sometimes pick up a toy, especially a good chew toy. She is comfortable around dogs of all sizes and could live either with or without a canine companion. Another dog may provide some reassurance when her family is away, but what matters most to Pippa is having people nearby. Mealtime is one of Pippa’s greatest joys! She celebrates with some impressive jumps but is learning to sit and wait patiently for her food. With continued gentle, positive reinforcement, she will keep building on everything she is learning in her foster home. After spending her earlier life in a puppy mill, Pippa is still learning that her people will always come back. She becomes anxious and may bark when left alone, so her best home will have someone there most of the time and be willing to help her gradually build confidence when home alone. She rests nicely in her crate while her family is home and is generally comfortable outside the crate when they leave. A calm, patient home committed to helping Pippa feel safe and secure will be rewarded with a devoted little companion who wants nothing more than to share walks, meals and plenty of snuggles. Pippa is being fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and her adoption fee is $625. She has been spayed and microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworm and started on monthly heartworm prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning.

Bo is good with other dogs. But might come on to strong at first but settles down. To learn more about Bojangles, apply on our website at https://www.powellpaws.org/adoption-application

I will do the hound howl in my crate for maybe 10 min then settle when the humans are gone. They think I might be ok left alone out of my crate too, I'm pretty chill. I'm still working on potty training, but my foster family says I'm 90% there, which for two weeks in a new place is very good. I am treat motivated....if you have the right treats (meaty are my favorite), and I love praise/pats from people.

I am looking for someone who will be patient as I warms up and then I will be your constant companion!

Bagel is currently going through treatment for heartworm, but can be still be adopted during this time if the adopter is onboard for taking her to all her appointments (paid for by PAWS @ our vet) and following exercise restrictions.

I was found as a stray running in the woods and unfortunately picked up a couple treatable diseases while there, one of them being heart worm. What this means is that I have a couple months or more of treatment I need to go through, which includes being on a strict exercise restriction during this time. I understand that this might make it hard for me to be picked right now, but I really wanted to see if my forever family is out there. My foster parents say I’m well worth it! I am currently available for foster to adopt so PAWS will cover all treatment costs with our vet. I am truly so sweet and loving and I promise to make you smile everyday!

-Crate trained. Is crated next to Sallie at least 4 days a week for 8 hours per day. He will probably be fine loose eventually, but he still occasionally chomps on things like most adolescent dogs.

-Did well with his cat test. Disengaged from the cat easily and was more interested in finding cat food.

-Rides well in the car. Occasionally will bark when he sees something out the window.

-Housetrained (but you do have to pay attention to him)

-He is a good boy!

I’m working on some commands, potty training, and walking on a leash. I like to go to the door when I need to go potty to let my foster mom know I need to go out. I do sleep in the crate when my foster family leaves and goes to bed but I do like to express my concerns and opinions for a little bit before I settle down. I really prefer a bed. I’m the sweetest guy and I will love you forever! If you’re looking for a new pup to add to your family, please consider me!

I love to be outside, take hikes in the woods, play with squeaky ball toys, and sofa time with my foster family. I am skittish around new people, requiring time and patience to warm up to a new environment. My foster parents say that I am independent and enjoy being the boss of the household. Tula will do best as an only dog with no other free roaming pets or young children.

We recently learned a lot about Tula Bean's genetic background. Thai Ridgeback breeds are selective of their people, loyal, intelligent, and very active. They love to chase small critters and would do extremely well in agility courses. She is incredibly graceful, prances around the backyard happily, and loves to throw her head back like a sea lion. Tula will do well in a calm home and understands that she needs to hang out in a crate while her people work. She is housetrained and has done well in the car.Tula is VERY treat motivated (especially loves cheese), learns fast, and approaches us excitedly for attention. Have we mentioned how soft she is?

She will not be attending PAWS adoption events, so please reach out to schedule a meet and greet with Tula today!

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?
