Story
Lita is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. We know that Lita is a wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier mix. She is just over 1 year of age and she weighs 21 pounds. Lita also has an adorable head tilt. She is sweet, active, and playful. She loves to be cuddled and petted. At first, Lita was terrified of the other dogs, but now she loves to run and play with all of the other dogs. Lita does like to chase cats. Lita is a JRT, she is very smart, and she will jump a 4'-5' fence or gate to go chase a squirrel or cat. She must have a secure 6' fence to prevent escape. We put a training collar on her for about a week and she quickly learned to stay in the yard and to come when called. Lita is crate-trained and will run and get in her crate when it is time to do so. She obviously received no training from the person who previously had her, but she is very smart and learns quickly. Lita may need more work with housetraining and her house manners have gotten much better - she no longer chews on things that she is not supposed to. Lita must be in the house as a loved member of the family. She must be walked on a leash and must have a secure, 6-foot-tall fenced yard to run and play. Lita is healthy. She is spayed, tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. She is negative for heartworms and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Litas' adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport to Akron, Columbus, or Cincinnati Ohio. She is located in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted.

Story
EstrellaFemaleAge: 7 monthsWeight: 24 lbsBreed: Husky and Jack Russell Hi! I’m Estrella! I am an active, friendly and playful girl who gets along great with other dogs and should be fine with kids as well. I haven’t been around any cats to know how I would do with them. I am house trained, am great on a leash and am even crate trained. I do need to be crated when you leave for your normal workday. My favorite toys are fluffy, squeaky toys and I enjoy chew bones and soft snacks. I already know a few commands too: “sit”, “off”, “crate” and “no”. Some of my favorite activities are to play with other dogs and run around my fenced in yard to get my puppy zoomies out. I also enjoy playing tug with my toys and I do like my walks. I cannot wait to find my very own active family who will give me all the love and attention and exercise that I deserve. If you are interested in meeting this petite, fun and energetic girl, apply to adopt her at: www.causeforcanines.org. Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident and 23 or older. Children must be 5 years old or older.  ##2015312##

Story
Robbie came to us with his mommy from a high kill shelter in Texas. They were due to be euthanized and had ringworm, so sadly, no rescues were tagging this pair. Ringworm is very treatible, just not desirable because of the treatment involved. Robbie is ringworm free and ready to find a home. He is vaccinated and has two boosters, neutered and microchipped. Robbie is a typical high energy puppy, full of life and love. He is not housebroken yet, but improving, so his new family will have to work with him. He is also working on leash walking and is making progress with that as well. Robbie is a fun little boy and just wants a family to love and call his own. His adopters need to be in this for the long run and must be prepared to patiently train this little guy as he grows and matures. Every puppy is different and will learn at their own pace. If you think this cutie is just what you are looking for and would like to meet him, please submit an application on our website, canaananimalsanctuary.org.

Dexter is an adorable jack russell terrier that is 8-10 years old. He is a great dog that loves his toys and a person that will give him their love and time. He does not do well in an active household with children and prefers calmness and quiet. He also likes all your attention so should be the only dog. He would be perfect for an older person who can spend lots of time with him. If you are interested in Dexter, apply at www.caninecollective.org.

Story
Denver (aka 'Denny')is a sweet, loving, and smart almost 2 year old jack russell mix who weighs about 22 lbs. He may have a little dachshund with those cute short legs and longer body but we can't be sure without a DNA test. He is very much true to his JRT breed and is a little feisty guy who loves to explore the world around him. He does know when to turn down the energy and do some cuddling.Denver would like you to know he's not a fan of cats but is a big fan of people once he gets to know you. Denver LOVES toys, especially soft small squeaky toys that fit comfortably in his mouth. He is reluctant to release his toys so we think toddler toys would be too tempting for this guy. Denver went to a pet store event and loved it! His tail was constantly wagging, would come up to visitors and greet appropriately, and interacted well with the other two dogs at the event. He is great with kids socially, but we think toddlers in the home might not understand his need to have his own toys. He is very energetic and would thrive in an environment that would give him the exercise and stimulation that he requires.Denver is crate trained but of course doest mind at all sleeping next to you. He is very agile and smart enough to join the circus or excel in agility sports. All he needs is a family that will give him the training he needs to focus that energy. Our guy is very cuddly and will keep you entertained. He is a dear and can be very loving and affectionate. Positive reinforcement with treats when he gives the behavior you want definitely will keep him behaving well.If you are interested in Denver apply at www.caninecollective.org.

Story
Macy is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. Macy looks like a rat terrier. We are guessing she is around 3 years of age and she weighs 15 pounds. As expected, she was a bit leery of the other dogs at first but now she is just as happy and playful as she can be. Macy is very affectionate and loves attention and pets. She likes to sit next to you on the couch and grumbles at the other dogs to keep them away so she can have all the attention. This is a bad habit and should not be encouraged. Macy is crate-trained and well-behaved in the house. She likes to roll herself up in a blanket when sleeping. Macy is getting chubby after her spay and her new family needs to take her on walks to lose weight. Macy is doing well with housetraining but may need more work. Because Macy is small, she must be protected from rough treatment by children or big dogs that could hurt her. She must also be protected from raptors and other outdoor predators. Macy must be an inside dog and a loved member of the family. To avoid injury, she will need steps to get on and off the couch and other furniture. Macy must be walked on a leash and would like a secure, fenced yard to run and play. Macy is healthy. She is spayed and tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. She is negative for heartworms and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. ALL transport costs are included in the adoption fee with delivery to Columbus, Cincinnati, or Akron Ohio. Macy is currently located in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this little sweet girl.
