Adoptable Ohio dog ready for pool time during summer

COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Addie, a pit bull mix at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center, is ready to join a family for summer vacation.

Shelter Behavior Coordinator Brandy Trott described the 6-year-old “diamond in the rough’s” energy as “middle of the road.” She gets along well with everyone she meets, and flops on her belly for rubs and cuddles from her owner. When she’s by herself, she’s happy to keep herself occupied with toys.

“I think if you play fetch for a while, she’d probably play fetch until you stop,” Trott said. “If you want a dog to go out for walks, she’d be good with that, but also I think just as long as she has a basket of toys she’d be happy.”

Addie also knows sit, down and shake, and is quite food-motivated for new tricks. Uniquely, Trott said she loves the pool, making her a great summer adoption pick.

Addie would prefer to be the only pet in the home, and is available for meet-and-greets at the Franklin County Dog Shelter , located at 4340 Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus. Below are some additional dogs up for adoption as well:
