Pup has seen hundreds of dogs adopted before him in Ohio. ‘It’s wearing him down’

Sasquatch is not the same dog he was when he arrived at the Brown County Humane Society in Ohio.

Calmer, smarter and softer, the 1-year-old dog has thrived following his difficulties in the early stages of his life when he was discovered “dragging a heavy chain.”

But after months in the shelter, the German shepherd/Labrador retriever mix has remained in his kennel as hundreds of other dogs have been adopted before him.

“And he’s out of time,” the shelter said in a July 7 post on Facebook. “Shelter shock is real, and it’s wearing him down.”

Described as a “goofball” and an “absolute charmer,” Sasquatch would do well in a home with other friendly dogs.

Cats — not so much. And with as excited as Sasquatch gets, he may knock over small children.

“Sorry, kids — Sasquatch is just living his best life,” the shelter said in April.

But he still has plenty to offer, including his smarts and manners he has learned at the shelter. Plus, he’s “neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, dewormed, fully vetted, leash-trained and putting in serious effort to be a good boy,” according to the shelter.

Just as long as you can handle him still being “a little extra.”

“Let’s find Sasquatch a home where he can learn to play and chill, without the wild jumping and accidental knocking over of everything in sight,” the shelter said.

The Brown County Humane Society is in Georgetown, about a 40-mile drive southeast from Cincinnati.
