Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Powell, Ohio

Hello there, I’m Dottie! I’m a mixed-breed gal who is around 2-3 years old and 52 lbs. I have spots on my ears, amber colored eyes, and rear dew claws. I was found roaming with a lab at a rehab center in southern Ohio, so my breed mix is a mystery. My friend and I ended up going to the shelter. Another shelter in Columbus took the lab, and I stayed another month. Then PAWS took me just in time when the shelter was full.

I love getting attention from people and would probably be fine with anyone, including kids. I do well with other dogs of a variety of sizes. My only request is that if I am sleeping in a human bed at night, no other pesky dogs come bother me. I also met a cat and guinea pigs and wasn’t too interested in them. I do well walking on leash and am house trained and not destructive when left alone. I am left alone loose in the house during the work day and do just fine. Sometimes I even get to go to college with my foster owner and hang out with college students all day! I get slightly anxious in the car or when a human leaves me, but the worst I do is whine a little at first. I’m learning to get more comfortable. I am pretty chill energy-wise but I’m down for going for a walk or hike.

If you think I might be a match, please apply and I will be happy to meet you! Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
