SPOT - Australian Shepherd and Pit Bull Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Cadiz, Ohio

Meet SPOT, the ultimate bundle of energy who's back at the Harrison County Dog Pound in Cadiz, OH, because his previous owners just couldn't keep up with this Aussie/Pittie loving party animal. SPOT's got more enthusiasm than a toddler on a sugar high and needs a home where his humans are into extreme hiking or jogging - or at the very least, have a large yard and a love for fetch. This little guy lives for toys, but let's be real, he's destroyed many a toy in his time. On the plus side, SPOT's housebroken, gets along swimmingly with other dogs and cats, and is fully vetted. Due to his 'bounce off the walls' personality, older kids only, please. With some training and patience, SPOT could be the perfect companion for an active family willing to take on the challenge.

Harrison County Dog Pound. 82900 Toot Rd. Cadiz, OH 43950. Open: Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm; Saturday 9am-2pm; closed Sundays and holidays. Adoption applications are available at the pound or online at harrisoncountydogpoundvolunteers.org. Apple users must submit application using Google, not Safari. Out of state adoptions are welcomed. $40 adoption fee. 740-942-4080
