Hi everyone - as most of you know, our group mainly takes in dogs who have no time left and who are in rural Ohio pounds. Since I cannot say the word "no" (who can, in rescue?) we have pulled quite a few dogs recently who we needed to place in boarding situations. The below pictured girls are in boarding. They have been spayed, are all up to date on routine shots and are current on heartworm preventive. I am looking for forever homes for them (or foster homes in Central Ohio). They are all eager to learn and have spent way too much time in boarding. They are getting some training and attention but not enough. (Their current "normal" training needs make them hard to place in the majority of forever homes. I will also consider sending any of them to another rescue as long as they go to a foster home.
I have several other dogs on our Petfinder site that are in the same boarding predicament - Molson (yellow lab mix, age 3) and Teddy (chow mix, age 1). There are no glaring issues with any of these dogs (OH---Teddy and Molson will probably not do well with cats) except the need for training in a home setting to make them "adoptable".
I'd greatly appreciate the cross-posting of these dogs. I'd like to get them out of boarding. It is not ideal for them, or for us, for that matter.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

Raleigh is an adorable 60 lb. Rottie mix young doggie. She was rescued from the Putnam County dog pound just in the nick of time. One of the volunteers contacted us about Raleigh and we agree, she is one special girl! Raleigh is friendly with everyone and loves other dogs. However, she is still in need of training. She is at a boarding kennel that works with the dogs and she is very very receptive to attention and training. Raleigh is under a year and is still in the "hand-nipping" stage but is getting MUCH better. She recently spent a few days with one of our volunteers who feels Raleigh will really benefit from some training and is eager to learn. Everyone who has met her says she is very sweet, & eager to learn and please. Raleigh is most likely not housebroken. She is spayed, up to date on shots and current on heartworm preventive.
