Comet's Story

Meet Comet! <br/><br/>Comet is a handsome 3-year-old BorderDoodle weighing around 60 pounds, and this boy is a whole lot of fun wrapped up in one big, lovable package!<br/><br/>Comet came to Dogworks after his family surrendered him because their busy schedule, including traveling for their kids’ sports, no longer allowed them to give him the time and attention he needed. We think Comet is ready for a family who can make him part of their everyday adventures!<br/><br/>He is an active guy who loves his walks, chasing tennis balls, playing with stuffed toys, and working on food puzzles. And while he has plenty of energy to burn, once he gets his exercise, Comet is perfectly happy to settle in and cuddle with his people. Really, his favorite place is wherever his people are.<br/><br/>One of our favorite things about Comet is the way he greets you by gently putting his paw on your arm or leg. And those beautiful, expressive eyes? They will absolutely melt you. <br/><br/>Comet is a very good boy who listens well and knows sit, stay, come, no, off, leave it, and drop it. He is potty trained and walks nicely on a leash. He doesn’t beg for food and hasn’t shown any interest in destroying toys or household items.<br/><br/>Comet does get VERY excited when meeting people and may jump up to say hello. His previous family allowed him to jump up on their arms as a greeting, so he’s learning that isn’t appropriate with everyone. He’s already improving and responds well to a firm “No” or “Off.” Once that initial excitement wears off, he settles down nicely.<br/><br/>When Comet first arrived in foster care, he experienced some separation anxiety and would howl when left alone. He has made great progress and now only paces and whines a little when his foster leaves. He has shown that he can work through things with patience and consistency.<br/><br/>Comet does well with other dogs and has shown no resource guarding, although he definitely thinks all the attention should belong to him! He sometimes needs a reminder to wait his turn for affection. He lived with children in his previous home, including children around 8–10 years old, and we believe he did well with them. His compatibility with cats is unknown.<br/><br/>Because Comet loves to run and has plenty of energy, a fenced yard is required. A standard fence is fine. An active family who enjoys walks, playtime and spending time with their dog would be a great fit for him.<br/><br/>Comet is friendly, affectionate, gentle, playful and smart. He can be a little goofy and energetic, but once he gets his zoomies out, he is perfectly content to become your couch buddy.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog who wants to be included in your adventures but is just as happy snuggling beside you afterward, Comet may be your guy! <br/><br/>He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>Follow the link below for the adoption application. Note applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
