Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Marion, Ohio

Gremlin was recently returned to us due to his adopter's sudden-onset health issues and we're just devastated for both of them.

She was absolutely in love with Gremlin and gave us so much insight into what he's like in a home. He's playful and slept in her bed with her every night. He loves to get outside and run around. He's full of so much personality and it's a shame we didn't get to see the real him at the pound.

Gremlin is very protective over women and not nearly as trusting of men. We think Gremlin would be fine in a home with respectful older kids/teens. He's not uber affectionate, and he doesn't seem like the dog who would want little kids crawling all over him.

He lived in a home with at least one other dog, and he did okay with the cat we tested him with. He will need to meet any dogs at home to make sure they're a good match.

Gremlin spent a whole year with us the last time he was here. Please spread the word so he can find his new forever home.
