ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Ruckus has found his forever home, and it sounds like he found the perfect friend along the way!
His new family shared that Ruckus and his new brother, Weezer, took to one another almost immediately. After a brief quarantine, the two were eager to meet, and in less than an hour, they had already figured each other out!
Now, wherever the patient and gentle giant Weezer goes, his sweet and curious little shadow, Ruckus, isn't far behind. When Ruckus gets startled by a squeaky floorboard or an unexpected movement, he runs to Weezer for reassurance, and Weezer is always happy to show him that he's safe.
Their family says it's almost as if the two were waiting for the perfect companion to fill the void left after losing their previous brothers. We couldn't be happier that Ruckus found not only a loving home but also a best friend. Here's to a lifetime of following each other around!

Meet Nadia. ❤️
Our Humane Agents were alerted to an emaciated Doberman in need of help. The Delaware County, OHIO, Sheriff's Office received the initial complaint and contacted our Humane Agent, who helped coordinate the response. The Delaware County Dog Wardens (Delaware County Dog Shelter) then transported Nadia to COVE Pet Care in Delaware for emergency veterinary treatment.
Since then, Nadia has been in our care, following a carefully monitored feeding plan and receiving the support she needs to regain her strength. She's now recovering in a peaceful foster home, where she can rest and heal.
She still has a long road ahead, but we'll be sharing updates on her progress in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for Nadia's journey!

Meet Cider!
This confident, playful pup is always ready for his next adventure!
Cider loves to stay active and have fun, making him a great companion for someone looking for a four-legged friend to join in on playtime and life's adventures. With his fun-loving personality, he's ready to find a family to call his own!
Cider may enjoy having a canine companion, but we recommend a meet-and-greet with any dogs in the home before adoption to make sure everyone is a good match.
Ready to add a little Cider to your life? Come meet him at HSDC!
