Introducing Keegan!

Meet Keegan — a 6‑month‑old cutie who’s officially ready to start his happily‑ever‑after. He’s currently enrolled in our Fresh Start Canine Training Program, brushing up on all the basics like Sit, Shake, Down, and becoming a potty‑training pro.

Keegan may be a little shy at first, but don’t worry — he warms up fast, especially if you come bearing hot dogs or cheese (his absolute favorite snacks). Once he trusts you, his sweet, goofy personality comes out in full bloom. This boy is going to thrive in a loving home, and we can already picture the cuddles, the play sessions, and the countless memories he’ll help create.

Approximate Birth Date - 10/17/2025

Current Weight & Size - Medium (about 20lbs)

Kids - We think Keegan would do great with kids!

Cats - Keegan is only 6 months old so with a slow introduction, We think he'd be good with a cat.

Other dogs - Keegan is good with other dogs and working on socializing more every day at our prison program!

Want to meet this little guy in person? Visit our website: www.hsmcohio.org and get started by filling out an adoption application.
