Do you have a story and photo you would like to share about your adopted pup or dog? We're looking for some laughs, maybe some tears, how they have changed your life, how they have touched your heart. We will post your photo on our home page and story to the Your Adoption Story page to share with all of our visitors. Maybe, just maybe, you'll inspire someone to share their life with a homeless dog. Please send a photo and your story to: OhioPuppyRescue@aol.comorCentralOhioDogRescueLeague@gmail.com
Your Donations Help Support Our Community Projects
2012 was a year of great success and impact on the community through Ohio Puppy Rescue.
*****Ohio Puppy Rescue Spay/Neuter Fund continues to focus primarily on our partnership with Pikes Friends, Pike Co. Humane Association, Shawnee Animal Hospital to provide free spay and neutering. Our efforts have a "no questions asked" service to Pike and Scioto Counties for those who wish to have their dog altered. The word has spread to several residents of these Counties who joined the efforts to stop unwanted dogs in their Counties.
*****We continued our educational program at the elementary school level in the Columbus area, which focus on puppy mills and the drive to spay and neuter pets, by providing copies of "Mighty Mimi" to the library. Mighty Mimi was written by our own volunteer, Margo Mayberry.
*****We request a "Pay It Forward" commitment from all who adopt a mill survivor. This means that each person in the family promises to learn about puppy mills and tells at least one person about what they learned.
*****We began a close relationship with Central Ohio Dog Rescue League and adopted the group as our sister organization. In 2013, we will formally join talent and experience to work with local organizations who focus on shutting down breeders who don't provide humane conditions and medical treatment to companion animals.
In order to continue our efforts in supporting our community, the rescue community, and the pet over population, additional funding is required. We need continuous and generous donations in order to sustain our life-changing work into 2013 and future years. Please consider a donation to enable our work to continue. Donations can be made by adopting one of our wonderful rescues, donate through your Community Giving programs at your workplace or directly by sending a monetary gift through PayPal. If you wish to send a check or money order, please contact us via email for details.
Isa was an abandoned pup which came into our rescue. She's a sweet little thing with a lot of love to give. Due to her size and age, the vet has advised to wait for her spay. This means she'll be adopted on a spay/neuter contract which will require a refundable deposit of $50.00. Once proof of spay is received by 6 months of age, we then destroy the check.
If you're interested in this sweet thing, please register on our website, www.ohiopuppyrescue.org. When you receive the email confirmation, log in and apply. We request you review the site for answers to questions prior to contacting OPR. Those looking at our dogs on a search site should go to the Ohio Puppy Rescue link posted above.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids
We are not a shelter. All of our dogs are fostered in our homes and treated as family until they are adopted. We save puppy mill dogs and shelter dogs that were due to be euthanized. We will not ship dogs and all perspective adopters will need to complete an application before adoption. Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered will be adopted out with a spay/neuter agreement and refundable deposit. Perspective adopters must be at least 24 years of age to adopt. All pets in the household must be spayed/neutered, visit the Vet as recommended, and current on vaccinations and heartworm as Vet recommended. We process many applications and may not respond to every applicant, allthough we try. Our objective is to select the best home for each dog based upon the individual dog's needs. Please check out other pages on our website for additional information.
