🌟 Meet the delightful Forrest! This charming 2-year-old male Retriever/Husky mix is a testament to resilience and love. He was brought to safety on July 18, 2025, alongside his buddy Bubba, and although they arrived under mysterious circumstances—no collar, no microchip, just their hopeful hearts—they are ready for a fresh start and lives filled with love! Forrest has the most scrumptious milk chocolate brown coat, accented with a charming patch of white on his chest and cute white toes. Just imagine those floppy ears and his puppy-like face lighting up your home! With large, expressive pale brown eyes, he's the kind of companion who will melt your heart daily. Despite being a small boy at just 30 lbs, he has a personality that deserves a massive place in your heart! ❤️ When he first arrived at the shelter, Forrest was a little shy—like many of us when thrust into new situations. But just like a beautiful flower blooming in spring, his joyful spirit has shone through, and now he’s ready to share that joy with you! Now, let's address something endearing (and a little mischievous!): Forrest is a bit of an escape artist! 🎩✨ This means he’s looking for a patient and experienced handler who understands his quirks. He may have some separation anxiety, so he would do best with a compassionate individual or a family willing to take the time to help him adjust and trust. Not only is he neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, but he also holds the potential to be the star of your life! Imagine the cuddles, the silly antics, and the loyalty. Forrest deserves a loving home where he can flourish. In compliance with Ohio laws, Forrest was held for three days for his original family to claim him, but alas, they didn't come looking. So now, he's available for foster or foster-to-adopt through an approved HSOV Foster/Adoption Application! Be a part of his journey and give him the chance to shine in your home! Remember, the magic can start when you *apply through the Buddy App* to adopt Forrest, the sweet escape artist who is ready to join your family!
