You've heard of house hippos, but have you met our house cows? We have at least two, and we think they deserve a little extra attention.
Meet Dexter and Tyson, two big, lovable dogs with adorable faces and plenty of personality. They're not related or bonded, but they do have one thing in common: they're both looking for families to call their own!
Walk past their kennels and you'll likely find two sets of eyes following you, each hoping you'll stop by with a cheese cube, a hot dog or just a little attention.
Meet Dexter:
This adorable 2-year-old is potty trained, loves romping around outside and is always up for a good case of the zoomies. He can be a little shy at first, so give him some time to warm up. Once he's comfortable, his sweet, goofy personality shines.
Dexter has successfully lived with both dogs and cats and could potentially share his home with other pets again. Slow introductions will be important, and our adoption counselors can help you set everyone up for success.
Meet Tyson:
At 3 years old, Tyson loves treats, gentle pets and spending time with his people. He's potty trained, enjoys getting outside and is ready for a home where he can settle in and be himself.
Tyson will need to meet any potential canine roommates before going home. He may also prefer being the only dog in the household, where he can enjoy plenty of attention as a solo bachelor.
Now for the big news: Through Saturday, Oct. 24, adoption fees for Dexter, Tyson and all dogs 9 months and older are just $50!
Every adoption includes spay/neuter surgery, a microchip, vaccinations, a complimentary first veterinary visit at VCA and a Hill's Pet Nutrition starter kit. A mandatory $18.75 dog licensing fee applies.
Visit Columbus Humane at 3015 Scioto Darby Executive Court in Hilliard, Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m.
