Cause for Canines

Cause for Canines We are a 501c3, 100% volunteer-run animal rescue based in central Ohio dedicated to help canines.

Cause for Canines is a volunteer based all-breed dog rescue founded in Columbus, Ohio. We are committed to the rescue of homeless dogs, dogs given up by their owners due to difficult circumstances or those in danger of abuse or neglect, and dogs in shelters that are at risk of euthanasia. Our mission is to find safe, loving, committed and permanent homes for the dogs we take into rescue. All of ou

r dogs are placed in foster care and receive any necessary medical care and treatments and are spayed/neutered and microchipped, while waiting for their forever homes. Applicants are put through an extensive adoption process to ensure our dogs are placed in the best homes possible. We also provide education to prospective adopters to ensure they have the tools necessary to provide appropriate pet care for their new forever friend.

Hey, I’m Hero — also known as Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie (I answer to them all). I’m about three years old and finally learning how to just be a dog. I’m fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and I’m honestly a pretty chill guy who loves routine and being close to my people. I know my commands — sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, place, and shake — and I thrive with positive reinforcement, structure, and clear boundaries. Walks, training, puzzles, and fenced-in yard time keep my smart brain happy. I’m deeply loyal and affectionate once I trust you.To be successful, I need to be the only animal in the home. I’ve shown resource guarding and reactivity with other pets, so a calm, predictable environment without other animals is best. I’m also not a fit for homes with children under 15.
I’m not a “take me everywhere” dog — I’m a ride-or-die companion for the right, experienced and patient adopter who will respect my boundaries. In return, I’ll give you unwavering loyalty and love. I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program so approved adopters can get to know me at home before making it official.

🐾Breed: Border Collie & Boxer Mix
Hi, I’m Vicky, and I’m a friendly, playful, easygoing girl who’s ready to bring lots of fun and love to my forever home. I have a happy personality and an adaptable nature, which makes me an easy dog to love. I’m great with other dogs and cats as I was raised around both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable having animal friends around. I adjusted quickly in my foster home and have shown everyone what a go-with-the-flow kind of girl I am. I’d love a playful dog buddy or an active family who will enjoy spending time with me. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I walk well on a leash, so I already have a lot of the basics down. I also know sit, no, crate, and off, and I’m working on learning even more. I’m a smart girl who enjoys praise, attention, and being included in whatever my people are doing. I love meat-flavored treats, bones, snack-filled Kongs, and balls, and I’m always up for some playtime. I also enjoy exploring the yard, going for walks, playing with other dogs, and getting lots of pets from my people. After I’ve had some fun, I’m more than happy to settle in for some cuddles too. I’m the kind of dog who can fit into a lot of different homes because I’m social, affectionate, and easygoing. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who loves to play, loves people, and is ready to be part of the family, I might be your girl.

🐾Trial Adoption Eligible
Hi! I’m Norbert. I am a loving, friendly and happy guy who gets along with other dogs, but not so much cats as I like to chase them. Children have been a stressor for me in the past, so a home without children would be best for me. I am house trained and crate trained too. My favorite treats are freeze dried tripe from that Hollywood Feed Store and I have a Moose stuffed toy I enjoy. In my daily life, I like to lounge on the couch, explore the yard and take walks. I can be an escape artist, so supervised playtime in the yard is a good idea. My foster mom says I am pretty quiet for a beagle. I am gentle and polite with all my doggy friends and I really love to cuddle with my humans. I cannot wait to find a family all my own who will provide me all the love and attention I deserve! To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official. You must be an approved adopter to participate.

Hi, I’m Vanessa, and I’m a loving little lady with a big heart packed into a small body. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate lap dog who loves to be close to her people, I would love to meet you. I’m great with other dogs and cats, and I was raised around both cats and several dogs, so I’m very comfortable sharing my space with furry friends. I have a gentle, easygoing personality and really enjoy being part of the family. Whether the house is busy or calm, I’m just happy to be included. I do best with slow introductions to new people, as that helps me feel safe and comfortable. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I walk well on a leash, which makes me a pretty easy companion. I already know sit, off, crate, and no, and I’m working on learning even more. I’m a smart girl who enjoys having structure, and I love getting praised for doing a good job. My favorite things are pretty simple: cuddling, going for walks, exploring a fenced yard, and eating snacks. I especially love meaty treats, chew bones, and snack-filled Kongs. I’m always up for a little adventure outside, but I’m just as happy curling up beside you afterward for some quality cuddle time. More than anything, I love being close to my people. I’m the kind of dog who will happily sit in your lap, stay by your side, and remind you every day how nice it is to have a loyal little companion. I’m sweet, loving, and ready to bring lots of snuggles and happy moments to my forever home.

🐾Weight: 48 lbs
🐾Breed: American Bulldog
🐾Trial Adoption Eligible
Hi! I’m Clovey. I am a cuddly and active girl who gets along with other dogs as long as we are able to meet with a slow introduction. I have not been around cats or kids to know how I would do around them yet. When I am out of my crate I will go to the door and let you know I need to go out. I am still working on my crate training as I don’t like to be separated from my humans. My favorite snacks are hot dogs! I love those things. I also know the command “sit” and will come to you when you call for me. I enjoy the Bark Box fuzzy toys. I like to run in the backyard and play with my fur sibling and oh boy do I love to cuddle. I really love being around my humans and am a very loving dog when I am the one getting all of the attention. I cannot wait to find my very own active family who will give me all the love and attention I deserve and who will be patient with me as I continue to learn. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official.
