COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — More than 120 dogs are waiting to move out of the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center in Columbus.

There are 52 long-term dogs at the shelter. That means they have been there for more than 30 days.

One of the dogs is “Chess.” This playful two-year-old weighs in at a healthy 66.4 pounds and has Brindle coloring mixed with white.

“Chess” knows how to sit and shake hands on command and is heavily motivated with food. He came to the shelter as a stray and is found to have a heart murmur.

FINDING THE RIGHT PET

The FCDAC website can be searched by personality, size, and sex of the animal. To top it off, when you see a possible match, you can come to the center and spend some time with the dog to make sure she and your family will click.
