Dutch Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Meet Channing!

Channing is an 8-week-old Dutch Shepherd mix with a bright, happy personality and so much love to give. This sweet boy is already off to a great start—his foster mom reports he hasn’t had any accidents in the house yet, which is pretty impressive for such a young pup!

Channing loves to play, especially with his sister, and you’ll often find the two of them tumbling around together having the best time. He’s a curious, playful pup who enjoys exploring and then settling in for some snuggles after a good play session.

He is one of 10 adorable siblings, all looking for their forever homes. Like any puppy, Channing will need continued training, patience, and lots of love as he grows—but he’s already showing what a wonderful companion he will be.

If you’re ready for a smart, loyal, and fun-loving addition to your family, Channing could be your perfect match!

• All of our animals are spayed/neutered and current on shots.
• We do not do same-day adoptions. You will be asked to return for at least one follow-up visit, then take the dog home for a trial period before officially adopting.
• You must be 21 years or older to adopt from STAF.

• We do request vet and personal references.
• We can facilitate adoptions within a 30-mile radius of our Cincinnati-based shelter
